Baking purists are going to go after me for this one, but sometimes in life you need to take shortcuts. I have always been the kind of person that takes pride on making things from scratch. From designing and sewing a formal dress for a wedding (which I have sworn I will never do again), to scrapbooking (crafts),…

Hollandaise Sauce
The first day I met my brother-in-law Mandy, he effortlessly whipped a perfect Hollandaise Sauce to pour over blanched bright green asparagus as a side dish. I don’t remember if Filet Mignon was also served, but I vividly remember the asparagus with Hollandaise! Sauce Bearnaise, a derivative sauce of Hollandaise, had been close to my…
Gorgonzola-Cognac-Candied Pecan Steak Sauce
“Will you give cooking lessons anytime soon?” people often ask. I concede I enjoy the whole process of creating in the kitchen, entertaining dinner guests, talking about ingredients and sharing my passion about cooking at HOME. Offering hands-on cooking classes and/or demos is something I have given serious consideration and I definitely see myself…
Chef José Andrés’ Spanish Collins
Last month, Spanish Chef José Andrés paid us a visit to promote his restaurant Mi Casa at the Ritz Carlton Reserve in Dorado, Puerto Rico. I was one of the fortunate guests who had the chance to watch his cooking demonstrations and sample some of his trademark dishes as well as unique creations concocted specially…
Gurkensalat
The other day, I was commenting on Foodielady’s Facebook Fan Page (go now and LIKE it so you don’t miss a thing!!!), about the abundance of cucumbers I harvested from my edible garden. I asked my followers to give me some tips of dishes I could make with them since I was getting tired of…
Brown Butter and Sage Cream Sauce
SOMETIMES, WE HAVE TO DISCONNECT TO CONNECT… It has been over a month since I’ve posted a new recipe, but I took a little vacation from the blogosphere, first because my camera broke and then because I was enjoying the company of my children during school break and they adamantly scold me if I’m at…
Balsamic Vinaigrette
I have never been a big enthusiast of salad dressings. I am more of a olive oil and vinegar kind of girl. There are a few commercial brands I like, like the Brianna Salad Dressings. The Blush Wine Dressing, with the strawberry on its label is very good. Also, I use the Honey Mustard, with…
Imitating Joe’s Creamed Spinach
My husband Emilio is a super-mega-huge fan of Joe’s Stone Crabs Restaurant and the kids and I must agree with him, for everything there is fresh and really delicious. He lived in Miami for several years as a college student and every time his parent visited he would take them there (of course, so they…
Potatoes Dauphinoise
Blog: Its short for “web log”. A personal journal published in the World Wide Web consisting of posts (entries) displayed in reverse chronological order where readers, if allowed by the writer, can comment. Ever since the Julie and Julia movie came out in 2009, the blogosphere has grown exponentially. For the first time, blogging was…
