My mom is obsessed with keeping a stocked freezer, but I guess I don’t really take after her, because my freezer tends to be relatively empty, aside from random containers of stock/ramen broth,...
In Momofuku, Chang mentions that his Scallion Oil is one of Momofuku’s mother sauces. He basically says you can’t live without it and I tend to agree. Scallion oil, or green onion oil, as...
Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s ginger fried rice as interpreted by Mark Bittman has been floating around the internet for a while, but it took me a while to finally work up the courage to give it ...
I confess: I eat Chicken McNuggets with smiling faces and I love doing it! The real question is: do the faces make you want to eat Chicken McNuggets anymore than you normally do?
If you’re looking for a cosy baked vegetable dish, look no further than Ad Hoc’s Summer vegetable gratin. Seeing as Summer officially ended yesterday I had to hurry up and make this befor...
I love, love, love cheese. So much so that a visit to a cheese shop is almost better than a visit with brand-new dachshund puppies – almost, but not quite. Puppies aside, one of my ultimate favourite...
I’m not to sure why casseroles have such a bad reputation. When I was a kid, I would always hear my classmates complaining about eating casseroles. I have no idea what they were complaining abo...
I love brownies. They’re soft, chocolately, dense and delicious. I haven’t had a lot of success with baking brownies because, I confess, I compare every brownie I’ve bake to those T...
I’ve really been struggling with the blog lately. I feel like it’s been uninspired and well, let’s face it, flat. Don’t get me wrong, I love cooking, taking photos and even wr...
One of our good friends is a consultant. I’m not too sure what this means or what he does on a day to day basis, even though he’s explained it to me multiple times. What I do know is that...
I have a deep, deep love for breakfast foods. In fact, as a child, my diet consisted mostly of cereal and eggo waffles. Now that I’m older and more versed in the waffles of the world, my waffle...
In Vancouver we basically have two seasons: wet and dry. Now that we’re heading into the wet season, I find myself craving comfort foods: hearty stews, creamy casseroles, and satisfying soups. ...
There’s nothing quite like the smell of baking bread. It fills your house with the promise of all things good, cozy and warm. Even though my mom didn’t bake bread all that much while I wa...
Mentaiko kimchi udon is one of my noodle obsessions. If I see it on a menu-which is rare-it’s a must order. Chewy, toothsome noodles tossed with creamy mentaiko and crunchy spicy-sour kimchi is...
When I first heard about the Kogi taco truck, I happened to be in Mexico. I was surrounded by authentic Mexican taco trucks and all I wanted was one of those Korean-Mexican tacos I was reading about ...
If you read this blog regularly, you’ll know that I’m obsessed with noodles. You know you’re obsessed with noodles if your day revolves around them. You plan on eating them, you thi...
Yesterday I got a chance to head out to the OC Foodie Fest held in the parking lot of Honda Centre. (Thanks for the heads up Nina!) Our day started out promising: we left the house early, made good t...
I’ve been missing for a few days and it’s because Mike and I have been on the road, driving down to LA. We have a California music mix we’ve been listening to and for the last two d...
With the massive amount of home cooking I’ve been doing, I really haven’t been out to each much in the last little bit. Even when we have gone out, it’s been for sushi or izakaya fo...
A lot of people have been asking me, what’s next? There have been some (great) suggestions such as Ad Hoc for 2 and while I do love the idea of doing Ad Hoc, I’m pretty cookbook’ed ...
Lots of people refer to Chang as a genius and while in a lot of respects he is, in others I find he’s more of the mad genius type. The kind that throws things together haphazardly hoping that t...
When I look back at all the recipes I’ve cooked from Momofuku, there are definitely some standouts: momofuku ramen (with store bought noodles), kimchi stew, cherry tomato salad, most of the ssä...
Two hundred and thirty one days and 98 Momofuku recipes later and I’m finally done cooking through the book! I admit, there were a lot of detours along the way, but trust me, they were needed. ...
The shaved foie is the one dish that you can expect when eating at Ko. Everybody talks about it and Chang himself thinks it’s the dish “we’ll never be able to take off the menu.R...
Are you ever weirded out by people who rant about how they hate liver and in the next breath profess their love for pate and foie? I had an ex-boyfriend who used to do just that. He hated liver so mu...
Pine nuts have been around since forever, but I really only started eating them about 5 years ago. My mom, who becomes obsessed with food fads, heard from someone at her workplace that pine nuts were...
Most people who have heard of Momofuku Ko have heard of the shaved foie gras. This is probably one of the most involved and expensive recipes in the entire cookbook. Unfortunately, its components are...
Out of the many reasons why I love my mom, one of the tastiest is that she always seems to have avocados at home in various stages of ripening. I think I inherited a love of avocados from her. I love...
Is there anything more delicious than crispy pork, eggs, pasta and cheese? Carbonara just may be my favourite way to eat breakfast foods at dinner. The very first time I heard about carbonara, I was ...
In the past I had a love-hate relationship with sandwiches. As a kid, I thought they were the nastiest invention ever – especially the ones my mom made for lunch when she was running low on tim...
