One day I will write a post a week like I used to back in the old days but I’ve been busy and lacking writing stamina lately. I moved out of that dodgy hotel room months ago and rented an apartment in San Jose, near “smelly” Milpitas but not too close to the landfill-waste-whatever plant so […]
Steamed Mussels with Garlic and Parsley
Hey, guys, I’ve been gone for some time so a few updates: This cooking blog is not going away! (more annoying blog writing coming up! ) in fact, I just purchased a new theme and I’m planning the makeover to happen sometime this summer (northern hemisphere summer time). I’m also moving to a new apartment with much […]
spooky saffron and squid ink fresh pasta with mussels
Hey guys, so Halloween came and went… so happy belated Halloween to those who care. I’ve never cooked anything special for this day before so I decided I’d try and make some Halloween themed food to switch it up a bit… which really is more about making something up that matches some colours than it is about […]
Sunnies and Sous Vide’ed Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
By now you are probably aware of my steak and eggs obsession. Almost every weekend I make some variation of this american classic. Practice makes perfect? I hope so! Also, if you’ve been keeping up with this blog you are probably also aware of sous vide cooking being a common theme here. I love cooking sous vide, specially […]
The Mighty Hasselback Potato
At long last I have been able to fulfill a kitchen dream of mine and today I can offer a post on hasselback potatoes. Now this site starts to look like a real food blog, doesn’t it? I’ve been seeing these potatoes since I develop that insatiable need for browsing food blogs years ago. I will admit though… it’s quite a fun […]

Throw together a a few ingredients and make a simple sauce. Done. The simplicity of making pasta for dinner is undeniable and […]
Egg Potato Salad. Corn, Dill, Pickles.
This is probably the least exciting recipe I’ve posted on this blog so far but hey, I love egg potato salad, I stand by it and if you had asked me 6 years ago if I knew how to make it I would have said… “make it? you get it at the store, who makes […]
Top Sirloin and Galician Canned Octopus
Finished plugging all the social icons I wanted to share and I even spent some time cleaning up my accounts (facebook | twitter |instagram | bloglovin and pinterest!). I have a serious case of OCD these days… I’m sure some will disagree. Just these days? I guess the older I get the worse it becomes. Probably because my memory isn’t as […]
Top Sirloin And Octopus
Year is almost over and thanksgiving day is here in a couple of days! I have been insanely busy at work to spend any time in the kitchen. Haven’t gone grocery shopping in what seems like forever. This has to end. Well, It will eventually end. Not soon enough though. With the lack […]
