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…

I don’t follow american football, but I attended many Super Bowl parties, b.c. (before children). My guess is that I don’t like football…
Pot Stickers Dipping Sauce
Pot stickers (how they are called when pan fried) and Chinese dumplings (when they are steamed) are huge crowd pleasers. Bottles, a local restaurant, serves dumplings by the truck load, for they are a favorite among regulars. Usually, they serve them with a side of peanut sauce similar to my recipe for Chicken Satay, bean sprouts…
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…
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…
