. sous vide . fermentation . dry curing .
I’ve spent most of my evening fixing interface issues on my blog and have finally added a search box on my top menu. I didn’t wanna do it this way because there’s already a search box right next door if you look at my site on a desktop but there’s no other way to do […]
To answer this question real quick here: Yes it is. Now the point of today’s post is to disagree with someone’s opinion about cooking sous vide. I came across this article on The Guardian about sous vide cooking titled: Is it worth trying sous-vide at home? and I couldn’t wait to write down my thoughts on […]
I got into this stuff when I first started cooking. During those early garlic-confit days, I was reading a lot about French technique and was collecting a bunch of second-hand books which I would usually buy at Alibris (if you still read physical books and don’t care about buying new that’s a cool site to check out). […]
Hey guys! I personally never heard of this appliance until the vacuvita guys contacted me to review it. Well, let’s be clear. This is not an appliance. It’s actually an integrated vacuum sealing solution that pretty much covers all of the home cook needs and will make your kitchen look like some sleek sci-fi future […]
Hey, guys! back again to review a pretty cool product for all you sous vide home cooks out there! especially if you’re the kind of sous vide cook that loves really long cooking times. I cook a lot of tougher cuts very often and as you know, three, four days in a water bath is […]
If you’re a bit OCD, you like chicken and you like to cook it yourself , this post might be of interest. I know I keep talking about chicken. I talk about chicken a LOT. Because I love chicken and I can recount the few times I have had a good chicken dish at a […]
Crocodile is the true chicken of the sea in my opinion. I’ve been testing out a few recipes with this ingredient (can be bought frozen at certain stores here in Vancouver). The flavor is fairly unique but if you asked anyone who’s had it before, they would probably say it tastes like chicken and fish […]
I like it when the ingredients drive the recipe. I found these beautiful short ribs at the store and immediately dropped whatever cooking plans I had previously. I picked a few more things for the wine reduction as well. 72 hours later, I picked the rest of the ingredients, like the garnishes and such. After […]
I might be in over my head when it comes to food science (definitely am), but I will give it my best shot here. What do I have to lose? 4 eggs? that’s worth the risk. We’re going to get down and dirty with this salt-effect-on-eggs business. Please read and don’t make me “begg” yah! […]
Leaving even a crockpot alone in my apartment freaks me out. The idea of something generating heat and being unattended at the same time is a bit unsettling and has never happened under my watch. I don’t even own a crockpot, but I have an immersion circulator which I’ve used quite a bit but never […]
