Capricho de Cabra

Snow white and as soft as butter, Capricho de Cabra is a creamy and mellow young Spanish goat cheese. Produced from Murciana goats, the high fat content of the milk coupled with high traces of protein make for one versatile cheese, sans the graininess or grassiness associated with most young goat curds.

Red Quinoa, Cilantro, & Carrot: 1 dish, 4 meals.

Last night I attended a food bloggers event here in Seattle, something I don’t often do because a, I haven’t been blogging (you noticed, didn’t you), and b, I still think it odd to sit in a room full of people who I might or might not follow on twitter, who I might have read some odd personal bit of information about on their blog, and vica versa, and NOT SAY HI, or have them say hi to me, like I’ve known them for years. Let’s be honest, It’s weird Continue reading

Leftover with Thanks

Over the years, what I’ve learned about Thanksgiving dinner is, that my interest lies in leftovers. Rather than get crafty with indigenous grain stuffing or made from scratch pumpkin soup served in a hallowed out pumpkin, I far more look forward to the sum of leftovers begging to be played with in the following days. Not because I don’t want to shower my family and friends with delectable treats from my kitchen, no- I just know that two makers on the rocks and several glasses of wine in, my soft focus vision and bleeding heart will be aimed at the company I’m in, not what is on my plate.

Indian Breakfast Sandwich

Seattle’s cold chill has me looking for any excuse to turn on my oven, and this morning (a bone chilling 18 degrees out), was no exception. Slowly, I’m returning to cooking projects Continue reading

Gattopardo Italian Bar & Grill – Pizza

Of late, my favourite “go-to” pizza place is Gattopardo Italian Grill & Bar . Why I like the pizza here is that it serves up Neapolitan-style pizzas baked in an impressive huge brick-oven, offers a wide selection offering both traditional and unconventional toppings and most importantly, has an authentic taste Continue reading

Porridge

I will be the first to admit I seldom eat food that we normally associate and categorize loosely as “Chinese”. But porridge is one comfort dish that I could hardly say no to, on days where I am just too sick and tired to taste and to chew, and on days that are particularly cold and chilly. Continue reading

My Favourite Lemon Tart

Most foodies would be aware that we are into Singapore’s inaugural Restaurant Week this week. Meant to be a great opportunity to indulge in fine dining without hurting one’s wallet too badly, I signed up for one of the restaurant’s dinner (intentionally leaving out the name of the restaurant).

Recipe: Madeleines au Matcha

I love to buy baking hardware on the spur of moments but many times, they are left neglected in the kitchen somewhere, forgotten. Once in a while, I like to go through the kitchen cabinets and rediscover my kitchen tools and get inspired to bake. These madeleines au matcha were the result of yet another (re)-discovery episode Continue reading
