We hosted Small Group this past week over at our home and I got the chance to finally make Momofuku’s Bo Ssam. It truly is a porky feast!! I’ve been totally obsessed with David Chang’s cookbook… I’ve made the pork belly buns multiple times this month and I finally got around to tackling the ramen […]

One of my favorite dishes to order at the traditional Cantonese BBQ Places is the roast duck and the roast pork. Usually they hang up a full pig in the window, hacking off portions when people order it. The downside to this method is that the pig is out in the window until it has […]

Wow… I’m really bad at uploading my pictures. Since I found my memory card, I also found the pictures from the oyster stew I made from the oyster trip Sam and I took a few months ago. I shucked a bunch of oysters before we left and took them back in my previous ziplock faux […]

So while prerusing food blogs, I kept coming across people blogging about doing the Daring Kitchen challenges. I finally mustered up my courage in April to join. Ironically I signed up hours before the Daring Chef deadline. After I got my confirmation email, I logged onto the forums to find out what the May challenge […]

I finally got around to trying my hand at making caramels. I had some really nice heavy cream leftover from making a strawberry whipped cream for my trifle so I dug up a recipe I saved awhile ago. Whenever I hear the word trifle, I think about the meat and berry trifle that Rachel made […]
