Taste Buds: Spanish Rice that’s not Paella
Chef and I have been together for 6 years and I never learned how to make Spanish rice until now. I love it, obviously, and I can’t get enough of it whenever we have Mexican food. We discussed over and over what this really is called because it’s been labeled as Spanish rice, though it’s [...]
Taste Buds: Tomato Dinner
Fall may have started, but this past summer, the cooking club gathered again for our quarterly meet-up. To shake things up from the way we did things before, which was to pick a specific cuisine, this time, we picked a secret ingredient. And what’s the most summery ingredient out there?! Tomatoes!! We welcomed a new [...]
Taste Buds: Quick Dinner with Super Easy Parmesan Chicken
This is a perfect dinner when you don’t have much time to prepare dinner. Not to mention pretty much all the ingredients are stuff you already have in your pantry. It takes about 15 minutes to prep and 15-20 minutes to cook. Very tasty and moist. It was a winner again to Chef’s taste but [...]
Taste Buds: Cassava Cake
When Chef and I went to the Asian store, we both went crazy just finding things that we were not used to seeing at Costco and Safeway. It was even quite extraordinary compared to the stuff I saw in the grocery stores of Manila. I mean, Asian stores here are a hoot! As we spent [...]
Taste Buds: Tiramisù
My friends, this is my tried and tested tiramisù recipe that I believe won the heart of Chef when we were still dating. I knew that Chef spoke Italian but it wasn’t really until a couple of weeks into our relationship that I learned that this designer is a chef at heart. So, I bought [...]
Taste Buds: Chicken Tikka Masala
This was a spur of the moment thing. Last Sunday, Chef and I were at the grocery store buying chicken. And we both said, CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA! We had to Google the recipe right there and then because, come on, this is Indian food, and we knew there are spices in this dish that we [...]
Taste Buds: Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This was my first ever attempt to bake cupcakes. And this was the first time I used my new professional KitchenAid mixer. Since I posted these pictures on Twitter, I have made this two times now and the second one was more successful. Well, it was more successful for me because the second batch was [...]
Taste Buds: French Dinner! Part 4: Coffee-Caramel Crème Brûlée
I cannot believe I forgot to post the dessert installment of our French Dinner series. I only remembered when I had to write my final Activite Culturelle paper for my French class. I have made this dessert two times now and I must say, it doesn’t matter how long it seems to take. It is [...]
Kitchen Toys Aplenty
My lovelies, Thanksgiving came and went, and my kitchen adventures for this one occasion brought success to the dining table. You’ll sure hear about the feast on the next Taste Buds post. But what I wanted to talk about here right now are the kitchen toys that make the arduous task of preparing such an [...]
Taste Buds: French Dinner! Part 1: Braised Fingerling Potato Coins
Our French dinner was the first time the Cooking Adventures of Ms B and Cindy became a cooking club. We welcomed a coworker, who happens to live across the street where I live, Josh. Now, unlike Cindy or me, Josh has been cooking since he was a kid. For his housewarming, his parents got him [...]
Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 3: Semolina and Nut Halva
Before Cindy and I accidentally flipped to the recipe page in Chef’s Mediterranean cookbook, I had no idea what a halva was. Having not heard it before, we thought, oh cool, it’s exotic to us, so let’s make it! Wiki says there’s many different kinds of halva, and they’re all typically dense and sweet. Hence, [...]
