This is going to be a quick one. My last post from a few days ago is all about black garlic goodness. I think this paved the way for today’s post which is nothing more than just an example of how to use this black garlic compound butter in one of the most delicious ways: […]
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 […]
Food bloggers never screw up! I’ve spent years reading food blogs (exciting life I know) and I’ve fallen in love with so many. Perfect recipes and techniques and execution, not to mention picture-perfect dishes. It is rarely the case a blogger writes about failure but when it does happen it is so refreshing and for […]
I love rice and I love seafood. Let’s just say it was about time we made some paella here at that other cooking blog. Wanna get more sous-vide cooking guides and cool cooking how-to’s in your mailbox? You know what needs to be done! Email We never spam. You should only be getting updates […]

I failed miserably at finding my bottle of vermouth. The one I keep in the fridge. I can’t remember using all of it. Maybe not remembering what happened to it should be a hint… I had to go for the next thing I could find in there. A nice bottle of Pernod… I say nice […]
I don’t think this dish needs much introduction, and although the original paella recipe did probably not feature any ocean goodies, seafood paella is an international success that has become the most popular of any version of paella and when people order Paella outside of Spain, most expect a seafood paella or a variation of […]
Tonight I had some cooked crawfish I bought at the supermarket and by that I mean I bought them already cooked. I haven’t had crawfish before, and as it very frequently happens, I ended up eating whatever new thing I try. They are quite addictive actually, they tasted nothing like shrimps, if anything, their taste […]
