As you know I love to cook, but have been hesitant when it comes to cooking meals with meat. The main reason I believe is that (a) I fear I will under cook it & poison people and (b) if I’m only cooking for myself, I don’t want the hassle. Back when I lived in [...]

When the summer basil gets as beautiful as this.. …there is nothing else to do but make pesto! Cute side-note: as I was picking the basil, which is right next to the basement window, look who was peeking through attempting to join in on the pesto making fun!
Anyway, I grabbed a handful of basil [...] Now that I’m home (alot & unemployed) I like to make delicious dinners for my dad when I can. He’s out of the house by 6am for work & home around 7:30, so the last thing he wants after a long day is to think about making dinner. After fishing on Saturday, we had lots of seabass, so it [...] Back when I first moved to Hoboken, I was lucky enough to coincidentally move onto the same street as my friend Nina. Literally, we were 7 or so steps away from each other. Strange enough, a few months later, my friend Emily randomly found an apartment in the same building that Nina lived in. How [...] The best thing in the world is when you can replicate dishes from your favorite restaurants. Way back when, I wrote about Camarones A La Diabla. It’s this great spicy shrimp dish that I absolutely adore from Juanito’s, a Mexican restaurant in Red Bank. The flavors are so intense and beautiful that I thought we’d [...] Since living with Kyle, I really haven’t don’t cook as much as I like to. He is a fantastic chef and happily takes over the kitchen. Sure I help chopping and so on, but haven’t made him dinner in a while. So Saturday he asked if I would and here’s what I made! Chiang Mai Noodle [...] Donna Hayis amazing. She is the less intimidating Aussie version of Martha Stewart. Throughout our week in LA to save $$, we made dinner each night. Turns out Donna Hay is Daniel’s all time favorite, so we made a couple of her dishes. Everyone of them was delicous, yet simple. Literally, they contained like three ingredients each. Perfection. Here’s [...] As mentioned in the past, sometimes I pick up shifts at the restaurant where I worked on again off again for years & years & years. This past Sunday was just another day, where I spent half the afternoon sitting around folding napkins and reading magazines & the evening running around like a crazy person feeding people. Mmm not [...] All through college to the pseudo-present, I have worked at the Siam Garden in Red Bank. Ever been there? Well it’s great. In general, it’s extremely laid back, the regulars are all great, and the food is phenomenal. That in fact may be the reason why I work every once in a while (in addition that [...] One of the things I liked about moving home was the chance to go to some of my favorite local spots that I haven’t been to in a while: Sawa for their amazing sushi, Barnacles obviously for the cheddar burger, The Madhatter for the pizza and Juanitos – well for the guacamole, chimichangas, and shrimp. These places [...] |
