Triple Cooked Fries Recipe

I have an obsession with French fries. I love, love, love them. They are a combo of one of my favourite foods (potatoes) and cooking methods (deep-frying). If deep fried foods weren’t so calorific, I’d definitely indulge in them…

Triple Deviled Eggs Recipe

One of my favourite snacks to make is deviled eggs. I didn’t grow up eating deviled eggs (in fact, the first deviled egg I had was at the ripe old age of 20), but something about their cool creaminess…

Crab Rangoon Grilled Cheese Recipe

We didn’t have any crab rangoon on our road trip, but we did see a ton of roadside Chinese restaurants that made me constantly shout out “crab rangoon!” I’m so happy that crab rangoon came into my life. Crab…

Back!

We’re back from our jaunt down the West Coast. Unfortunately I was too busy stuffing my face to take any photos of the food I ate – sometimes I just don’t have the willpower to take photos before digging…

Back Soon!

I’m out of town on a short road trip – with lots of food stops of course! Back in a few…

Crispy Noodle Cake Recipe

When I was young and living at home, my mom tried hard to have a home-cooked meal on the table everyday. Usually, there’d be a meat dish, a veggie dish, and rice. She even managed to make a big…

Truffle Mac and Cheese Recipe

Truffles are a big thing in the food world. If you haven’t had truffles before, it’s hard to describe how they taste. They’re luscious, earthy, and umami-packed. They taste best fresh, shaved onto a perfect plate of pasta. If…

Crab Salad Recipe

This past Valentine’s day Mike and I went for dinner at Hawksworth. Everything was delicious, but one of the stand outs was a simple crab salad. The crab was fresh, sweet, and perfectly paired with some micro greens, a…

Spam Mac and Cheese Recipe

As a kid, I was the pickiest eater. My favourite meal was plain white rice, if even that. Mostly, my mom let me get away with eating bowls of Cocoa …

Easy Authentic Pho (Stovetop or Instant Pot)

Pho is maybe the world's most beloved soup. My earliest memories of going out to eat were to pho restaurants. As a Vietnamese person, pho is something I've been making for …

Cinnamon Rolls

Super soft and ooey gooey homemade cinnamon rolls are my love language. I mean, all food is my love language but cinnamon rolls are just the ultimate in comfort. Sometimes I …

Roasted Pumpkin and Sage Grilled Cheese

I had some leftover roast pumpkin in the fridge, and since it's grilled cheese season, the only right thing to do was sandwich it between layers grilled crisp buttered bread …

Roasted Chicken with Dijon Recipe

I used to dislike mustard with a passion. I know what you’re thinking: how could anyone who claims to like food dislike mustard? I think it must have been a leftover childhood thing. I don’t recall any traumatizing mustard…

Crispy Lemon Sole Recipe

In high school my cooking repertoire consisted of instant noodles, eggs, and Kraft Mac and Cheese. I wasn’t particularly adventurous, but I did love the ritual of putting on a pot of water, opening all the little seasoning packets…

Bacon Sticky Bun Recipe

It’s so cliché, but everything is better with bacon, especially sweets. I love the combination of smokey, salty bacon with baked goods. When I saw the sticky buns on the cover of the April Bon Appétit, I knew I…

Palmier Recipe

Palmiers are one of Mike’s favourites at bakeries. They’re like his litmus test: if they can do a palmier, they can do anything. Funny thing is, before Mike, I’d never eaten a palmier before. I even had to look…
