One thing I incredibly respect about Chinese cuisine and cooking is the full use of the animals. They eat chicken feet, hearts, livers, pig snouts, and hooves, you name it. And yes while I myself do not particularly find all of these animal parts appealing I cannot but have the utmost respect for the creative [...]

For my first cooking school of all time I chose Yangshuo Cooking School in Yanghsuo China, where D and I had been volunteering at an English school for a few days. As my first cooking school experience and my first opportunity in over a month to prepare my own meal I was both giddy and nervous. What [...]

Well after my long blogging hiatus I am back. Has it really been 12 days since I last posted a recipe? As much as I would like to give you a great reason for why it’s been so long, I’ve got nothing. Time has just been slipping away from me and my time management skills [...]

For the 4th of July long weekend – mine was super long because I took Tuesday off as well : ) I went back to Massachusetts. It really was a great weekend. I got to spend time with my parents, see my friends, go to my favorite Japanese and Indian restaurants, take a day trip [...]

I made this recipe a few nights ago. I knew I wanted shrimp for dinner, but I also knew that the mushrooms were going to go bad if I didn’t use them ASAP. Pasta with shrimp and mushrooms seemed to be the perfect solution. The sauce is indeed creamy but it is still pretty light, [...]

I’ve always wanted to make mussels at home, but (until last Friday) I’ve been too scared to. Now that I’ve seen how easy they are to make I’ll certainly be including them in the meal rotation more often. They’re not even expensive, nor do they take a long time to prepare! The scariest part (for [...]

Sometimes a really quick and simple dinner is all you’re looking for. You don’t even need it to be spectacular – just easy to make and filling. That’s all I was looking for when I decided to make this recipe. And to my surprise it wasn’t just quick and filling –  it was really good [...]

I went home for the weekend for my mom’s bday.  Which basically meant I was on kitchen duty breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Not that I’m complaining or anything). This recipe was a big hit with mom n gma – dad not so much – he doesn’t like shrimp so I didn’t expect him to be [...]

I used to think that chivalry was dead. Especially in the 21st century. But this weekend I was pleasantly surprised and proven wrong.  D and I decided to spend New Year’s in NYC, watching the ball drop in Times Square then heading over to a warehouse party in Brooklyn. Yea well we never got to [...]

When it comes to pasta I always think a white sauce is better than a red sauce.  More calories? Absolutely, but who’s counting? Of course you can use low fat/non fat cream cheese, milk, sour cream, whatever you use to make the white sauce… but I never do. The way I see it – I’d [...]
