Quick Overview: Lamb is this deliciously juicy yet flavorful protein that I’ve always really wanted to make but never got to due to time constraints and other life reasons. That said, a rather ambitious idea for a recipe entered my head the other day so I had to go out and make it. About halfway through […]

Surf and Turf with a radicchio and pickled radish salad (1.5-2 hours?)
Special Shoutout to my friend Mitch for letting me use his kitchen while I was visiting him. He also cooks (and bakes too) so you should check out his instagram @mitrea32 to see what he’s been up to (we made a chocolate souffle recently which I will also share the recipe of later). Quick Overview: […]
A few things in the hopper…
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit less motivated to cook more complex things (partially because of the time it involves and partially because I hate doing dishes). I’ve decided to try and commit myself to posting at least one new recipe a week as I think that’s a simple enough goal to hold myself to. […]
Pan Seared Duck Breast with Brussels Sprouts and Stone Fruit sauce (1-1.5 Hours Total Cook Time)
Quick Overview: Two servings probably unless you really try to stretch it. Quick note: apologies for not posting anything for a while. I’ve had quite a lot of stuff happen recently that’s been keeping my busy (nothing bad I promise). Truth be told this recipe came to me as I was walking through the grocery store […]
Pasta Carbonara (30-45 Minutes of Total Cook Time)
Quick Overview: (Makes 3-4 servings probably) Carbonara is a classic Italian dish. There are various stories regarding its origins, but the ones I’ve heard all relate back to Italian miners as the “Carbonara” part of the dish’s name has origins with the Italian word for “charcoal burner”. In its most authentic form the dish is made […]
Espresso Rubbed Blackened Salmon with Lentil Herb Rice and Wilted Chard (.75-1 Total Cook Time)
Quick Overview: (Makes 2 servings for a single person) I recently started using a mealdelivery service called Sun Basket which sends food to your doorstep and they give you recipes on what to do and then you make them. So far I’ve enjoyed my experiences with them. That said, since I’m me, I kind of refuse […]
Gnocchi Barese (1-1.5 Hours Total Cook Time)
Quick Overview: (Makes 4-6 servings of sauce probably) One of my favorite combinations of flavors when it comes to cooking. Tomatoes, Basile, Red Wine, and Italian Sausage make up the backbone of this savory dish. The main star of this dish is really the sauce – which can be used with any sort of pasta to […]
Japanese Winter Squash Curry (1-1.5 Hour Total Cook Time)
Quick Overview: (Makes 4-6 servings for 2 people) This is a fairly simple curry that I had once at my sister’s house and I decided I immediately needed to try remaking it myself. I’m generally not a fan of pumpkin or squash and despite that I thought this curry was delicious. Overall, this recipe is […]
General Cooking Philosophy
So my general cooking philosophy goes as follows: Taste everything you make and adjust accordingly; a good cook is defined by their ability to adapt and create when there is no recipe before them. In other words what I’m saying is I don’t do exact measurements. I’ll tell you how much liquid or how many […]
