Keller’s easy roasting style
Listen up folks, it can’t get any easier than this. After watching uber chef Thomas Keller whip out this roast chicken on a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservation, I thought: “There is no reason, America can’t cook!”
It’s no secret that the United States population has the highest consumption of processed [...]

Fried Chicken Lollipops
I know the sweet stuff has been missing from the blog for a while. I had been on an Asian food kick lately and my cravings didn’t seem to include cakes, pies or cookies. Chocolate is the exception, that’s a whole different food group in my universe, and having a little square of [...]
The Beauty of an Egg

Chinese Tea Egg
The egg is a marvel of nature. If there was a superhero of the food world it would be the egg. What can it not do? I have waxed poetic about this simple orb before, so if you want to read about my treatise to the egg, go here.
In it’s plainest form, [...]

I’m still here…

And yes, I’ve been cooking …lots. Problem is the food gets eaten before a decent picture is taken. I’ve made Rasa Malaysia’s chicken satay complete with peanut sauce twice in the past week and each time we think about taking a picture, the hungry minions get restless, so we say "forget it!"
I did manage to [...]

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 [...]
How to survive Sunday while waiting for True Blood
August 31st, 2009 · 27 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 [...]

Wafu-gyoza
I love dumplings. I really do. But finding the time to make them seems close to impossible. The one time I made wantons were at a friend’s house. It’s always good to make them with a couple of friends since we Asians tend to make a ton of these things at a time and looking [...]
A tribute to Julia

Casserole-roasted Chicken with tarragon
A foodie’s most anticipated movie opened last Friday. There were Julie/Julia parties, there were movie premiere galas and there was my own private tribute to one of the most inspiring women I, alas, never had the pleasure to meet. Prior to reading her memoir “My Life in France”, I had lumped Julia [...]

Unagi Don over rice served with pickled radish
Remember that song from the 80’s? I seem to be singing it a lot lately. I’ve made no secret of my love for Japanese food especially their donburi fare. I always tell the “Hungry” Hubby that I must have been Japanese in a previous life. However, trying my [...]
