Pulled Duck Tacos with Mango Pineapple Salsa
So normally, I am much more organized in advance with my dinner parties but my Cinco de Mayo taco party last weekend.. well, clearly just didn’t happen. I usually throw food parties midday Sunday because it gives me all Saturday to prepare, but my friend Cherie (who has never missed any of my kitchen adventures) asked for Saturday night … Continue reading
Mango Pineapple Salsa
I made this version of Mango Pineapple Salsa as an accompaniment to Pulled Duck Tacos for my pre Cinco de Mayo taco party recently. It is a bit sweeter than the recipe Natalya used when she made her Cajun Chicken with Pineapple and Mango Salsa (the original recipe actually only called for pineapple but she added it for more … Continue reading
Skirt Steak Tacos
This weekend, I hosted a taco party for pre Cinco de Mayo celebration. Quick background on the holiday, May 5th commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. In the US, this date is observed as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, which in present day loosely … Continue reading
Honey Mustard Dressing
Back in NYC, Natalya and I were both pretty diligent about making our own salad dressings. The simple olive oil + balsamic vinegar + seasoning was always a healthy classic. Occasionally, we would take it up a notch and get fancy with our homemade salad dressings. I only realized how ambitious we were when searching … Continue reading
Smoked Salmon Carbonara
Post Easter, I decided it was time to try out some spring pastas (despite the fact Singapore is essentially season-less). My favorite spring pasta recipe is Pasta with Smoked Salmon & Peas in a Dill Cream Sauce. I decided to try something a little different and found a recipe for Smoked Salmon Carbonara by BBC … Continue reading
Baked Sea Bass
After weeks of family visits and work-related traveling, it was a relief to finally be able to retreat to hermitville aka my couch. I was long overdue for some hibernation… My first weekend back home, I went straight to my local market to stock up on enough food so that I wouldn’t have to … Continue reading
Roasted Leg of Lamb
Happy Easter all! I wish all the sugar shakes to my egg-hunting-champion-and-bday-twin Alex! This Easter Sunday post is dedicated to the roast leg of lamb Alex’s mother cooked for us many years ago… and I am posting now out of nostalgia (not because I have actually tried to cook it myself but I did watch … Continue reading
The Ultimate Flatbread
I randomly got some puff pastry dough at Trader Joe’s as a back up appetizer for a food gathering I hosted. I wound up not using it, and it wasn’t until I needed a quick easy recipe that this dough inspired me. This recipe honestly feels like cheating, but the end result was pretty nomtastic. … Continue reading
Latkes and Eggs
Any reader of this blog knows that I’m obsessed with poached eggs. Jen and I have made so many iterations from Thomas Keller’s Roasted Asparagus with Poached Eggs and Prosciutto, to Thanksgiving Leftovers Eggs Benedict, to Poached Eggs with Tomato and Salmon, to California Eggs Benedict. The potato latke, though, is an homage to the … Continue reading
Avocado and Egg Pizzette
In a typical weekend breakfast scramble (pun sort of intended) to throw an egg on top of something delicious, I saw that I had all the ingredients for guacamole, but didn’t just want to eat eggs with a side of guac. Enter… avocado pizzette. It not only sounds fancy, but looks more presentable as well. … Continue reading
