Dulce de Leche: hard to pronounce, easy to love. I love it straight out of the jar, on top of Momofuku Sour Cream Ice Cream, and now in this Peruvian dessert, A Lady from Lima Sighs. Swee...
Its been awhile since I shared a boozy drink with you guys and I figured the long weekend would be the perfect time to do some recipe testing. The natural choice for the booze? Pisco, a c...
I dont often subscribe to food magazines (who has time to read magazines when there are so many great food blogs out there?), but when I needed to keep some airline miles from expiring, I signed up f...
Oh risotto. Youre such a lovely dish and I dont know why you suffer with such an unfair reputation of being difficult to make. Its not your fault. I suppose at some point somebody i...
Youll have to forgive me for taking a quick break from my Peruvian cooking. I just couldnt bear holding off on sharing this recipe any longer (will be back to finish up my other Peruvian recipe...
Mussel lovers, meet your new favorite party appetizer. Im not even that much of a mussel fan, but when I saw photos of these pretty Peruvian dish, I knew I had to make it. Mussels get top...
Im not gonna lie. Two thing drew me to this soup: the claim that it could be made in 15 minutes and the fact that I already had all of the ingredients on hand. I cant say I had high ...
Had I seen these gorgeous purple corn husks outside of a Latin American grocery, I would have guessed that they were purely ornamental, much like the ones that emerge as decorations every fall in pic...
If theres one thing Ive learned from my first week cooking in Peru, its that those Peruvians really kill it with their rich and flavorful sauces. In this dish, sauteed onion, garlic, and yellow...
Although Id hardly consider myself to have been deprived as a child (or as an adult for that matter), Ive never eaten corn nuts before. After all, if Im in the market for a salty snack at a gro...
Im sure glad I didnt do a Google image search for Ocopa Arequipena before I decided to make this recipe. Its a pretty safe bet that the results arent going make your mouth water, unless, of cou...
Last week I posted some very seasonal recipes: rhubarb and ginger spritzers as well as rhubarb and ginger mojitos. This week, I thought Id post a super simple dessert recipe that you can make y...
Quick-cooking, high in protein, easy to digest, and with a superfood label to boot, its no wonder that quinoas (pronouced KEEN-wah) popularity has surged in recent years. Although I use it ofte...
Rob Kroenert via Pinterest I dont normally post twice in one day, but Im anxious to get started with Peru... it feels like a really long time since Ive cooked a new cuisine. I meant to ge...
Although Im happy (and lucky) to live in Honolulu, there sure are a lot of things I miss about living on the mainland. Proximity to family, reasonable real estate prices, and Trader Joes probab...
Theres a big misconception out there that we dont have real seasons in Hawaii. Sure, we have temperatures in the low 80s year round, but that doesnt mean there arent some subtle (and sometimes ...
Are you guys ready for me to finally choose a new cuisine/country? I am. In fact, Im so excited about this cleanse being over and me getting back on track with my culinary trip around the...
Bittersweet and white chocolate chip cookies... because sometimes you just need a cookie. And not some overpriced, packaged, gritty gluten-free cookie, but one hot from the oven oozing wit...
I never intended to buy an ice cream maker. Living in Honolulu, apartments and kitchens tend to be spatially challenged and I do my best to avoid purchasing small appliances. And I couldn...
Last time I was on a cleanse I made some raw zucchini noodles with a sun-dried tomato pesto. I liked it so much that I thought Id try it the noodles again with a more traditional pesto. O...
Oh Monday. I cant say Im all that happy to see you this week, but a nice breakfast of leftovers from this nice broccoli frittata will help ease the pain a little bit. Id had grand plans t...
I’m not sure whether I’ve mentioned this before or not, but I went about twenty or so years of my life before I would even try an avocado. My initial reluctance was probably just due to its col...
I grew up in a household where the only spices used on a regular basis were garlic salt and black pepper. These days, I probably fall at the other end of the spectrum: I have shelves and...
Is it just me or are parsnips having something of a moment right now? I never gave much attention to these root vegetables (which I always imagined to be bland, anemic versions of carrot...
About one month after the official change in seasons, Spring is finally in the air. All of the signs are present: the days are getting longer, asparagus is hitting the markets and swells ...
The universe, it appears, has been plotting to get me to spend less time on my computer. At least that’s the message I’m getting. First, my laptop self-destructed a couple weeks bac...
For many years the only way youd catch me eating cauliflower was if it was drenched in gooey, processed cheese sauce. Although I warmed up to broccoli pretty early in my tween years, I considered cau...
I apologize for the recent glut of fresh juice recipes around here but Ive been having way too much fun with my new juicer. I realize juicing is a whole lot more time consuming than opening a c...
Im not sure how many times I can praise a cookbook on here without people beginning to suspect that Im getting paid to plug it (trust me, Im not), but Im going to once again shower praise on the book...
I almost called this drink Orange Dream Juice (it reminded one tester of an Orange Dreamsicle) but settled instead on Orange Surprise. Whats the surprise you ask? Well, its that there are...
