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: Russian Tea Cakes
Happy Holidays, one and all!! Yes, yes, my greeting, along with blogposts, are a tad bit delayed. Nonetheless, it’s never too late for a good dessert recipe. There’s actually quite a story behind my Russian Tea Cake mini obsession. Three years ago, I took an interim position at another department and met a funny group [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: The Melt
The Melt New Montgomery 115 New Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 94105 Grilled cheese. American classic. So utterly simple. Get someone like Jonathan Kaplan, founder of the Flip camera, to complicate it and make it simple all over again. This guy made several hundreds of millions of dollars when he sold Flip to Cisco. The [...]
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 [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Bouchon in Napa Valley
Bouchon 6534 Washington Street Yountville, California 94599 707.944.8037 Recently, I posted about a visit to Yountville, where I raved about the land of Thomas Keller, in a quaint town in Napa Valley reminiscent of Europe. It could have easily been one of my French, Spanish or Greek holidays taken or to be taken. Travel is [...]
Wanderlust: A Jaunt to Yountville
There are just definitely those times when a quick trip to somewhere new becomes a wonderful surprise leaving you in awe and excitement at the same time. Times when you thought you were going to one place then you suddenly changed the plans and went somewhere else for practicality’s sake but then wondered why that [...]
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: Tortilla de Patatas with Whiskey Sauce
This Taste Buds post is courtesy of Chef, actually. I call my husband “Chef” for a reason – well, for many reasons. One of which is because he has inspired me to explore my Chef side, even before we were married. Thus, the humble beginnings of this Taste Buds series. I first had some tortilla [...]
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 [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Centrale Kitchen & Bar
Centrale Kitchen & Bar 1825 Pacific Avenue, Stockton, CA (209) 939-1825 With the limited choices in the area, Centrale Kitchen & Bar (also turns up as Centrale Restaurant & Lounge in Internet searches) has quickly become my go-to place for a good dining experience. The food, the ambience, the service and the crowd are just the [...]
