I’ve been on a Korean cuisine kick lately. I think it has a lot to do with living near an HMart– we’ve been buying lots of ingredients to make Korean recipes, with delicious success. It also helps that the salespeople often offer free samples while shopping so that you can try before you buy.
I don’t [...]

Caprese Stratas w/Basil, Tomato & Mozzarella
Posted in Italian, baked goods, brunches, dinners, recipes, regional on Jan 23rd, 2010
This recipe was passed along to me by my sweetie Dragonia. It’s definitely not the sort of thing Jack and I usually eat around the House of Cards, but I was intrigued by the use of nutmeg in conjunction with bruschetta-like ingredients, and it made for a nice change-up. Depending on your own culinary history, [...]
Lipby has asked me to make more Japanese dishes for him, and I’m happy to oblige. Donburi is a meal over rice in a bowl. Oyako is a compound word– oya means parent, ko means child. In this case, it refers to the two main ingredients: chicken and egg. The recipe comes together fairly quickly, [...]
Lamb Stew garnished with Tzatziki

We discussed lamb stew at the Amber Horizons-SL Halloween Party, in sufficient detail that I simply had to follow through. Was going food shopping anyway…

LAMB STEW
4 large leeks (the white parts, plus as much of the green as you dig)
3 tbsp butter + a few tsps of olive oil
1 lb of lamb shoulder (stew bone [...]
I have such trouble with avocado affinage (is it legal to use that word in reference to a food other than cheese? I sense Brillat-Savarin tossing in his grave) that I forget sometimes just how good guacamole can be when you use one that’s properly ripened. The version shown in the picture above was made [...]
It’s been a recent tradition of mine to usher in the spring with a colorful salad. The niçoise salad is one of my favorites (a poetic recipe can be found here), so when I saw a version on Bellini Valli’s site, more than burnt toast, I knew I had to make it.
Some changes I made:
1. [...]
“Why don’t you make the dishes your mom makes?” is a question I get from Lipby every time we come home from a dinner at my parents’. My mom is a great cook, and a hard act to follow. Her Japanese dishes always elicit a sigh from me when I taste them– it’s comfort food, [...]
Sorry I haven’t put up my comfort food story yet. (Thanks to everyone who answered the poll!) I haven’t had a chance to make it, although it would’ve been perfect to have this week, which has been cold, wet and rainy. I promise I’ll post it soon.
In the meantime, here’s a post I had meant [...]
An onigiri recipe was my contribution to Ace’s old recipe page, nearly five years ago(!). He later came over my house and actually tried onigiri that I had made. You could say that this is the food item that brought us to meet each other.
When Ace created this site, he immediately set out to re-post [...]
Lussebullar – St. Lucia Buns

Quelconque made these buns last year, and I was so enchanted by them that I had asked him for the recipe. They’re traditionally served on December 13th, which is the Saint’s day, but they look so delicious and perfect for cold days that you may consider making them earlier!

I usually think that the [...]
