Egg rolls!
Some cooking activities are more fun when done with a group of friends. One of these activities is making egg rolls. The process of chopping the vegetables and forming the egg rolls can be tedious if done alone. With company though, it can be leisurely time spent in the kitchen catching up with news [...]

Pekin duck with Port wine reduction
This dish nearly did not come to fruition. I accidentally lit my saute pan and I had an unintended flambe. Who knew port wine can produce such a blaze? The sink looked like a good option to dump the licking inferno. Then I remembered from CIA that if the fire [...]

Shanghai Soup Dumpling
Like the new look?
I know, I know, what can I say, I’m a fickle woman. Not that I wasn’t happy with my previous design but I thought there was too much going on with the colors and the sidebars that they were diverting the focus away from the blog posts. I knew I [...]

Rolled Omelette
I’ve always been curious about making my own Japanese omelette, you know the one you make in a rectangular pan? I know a lot of you wouldn’t want to purchase a pan specifically for this type of omelette but the recipe below makes a tasty egg dish – rolled or not. Treat it like [...]

August 31st, 2009 · 26 Comments · Main Courses, Main Dishes
Why do I have a feeling that I have been absent from this blog lately? Coherent thoughts about food seem to escape me at the moment. I really blame the vampires of True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I’ve been sucked (was that an intended pun?) into their fascinating supernatural world for the [...]

Not Bouillabaisse

…well almost. The debate about what makes an “authentic” Bouillabaisse can be argued until kingdom come but I’m not about to give my two cents on the matter because honestly, I’ve had 1 or 2 of this in my entire life. Granted that it was from a reputable brasserie in New York, but I think [...]
Persian Food Sunday…

I’ve been in a restaurant rut lately. Two visits to Kona Grill proved disappointing and other smaller establishments failed to impress (I’ve made it a rule not to post negative reviews about locally owned neighborhood restaurants. ) The only place…

It’s inevitable when you grow up in the 70’s as the youngest and only girl of four siblings – your fondest memories are of Bruce Lee movies and playing with numchuckoos. One of this martial arts legend’s memorable films was…

“Grilled Tuna Belly” My brother and his family are off visiting relatives at the Dole plantation in the Philippines for Christmas. He just posted this drool-worthy photo of grilled tuna belly on his photo blog. I thought this was such…

Dry-Aged Beef = Excellent Flavor

This topic I am about to cover is an ongoing debate between the “Hungry” Hubby and me. He is a tenderloin kind of guy, I’m a rib-eye kind of gal. Lately though I’ve changed my tune when I discovered dry-aged…
