This Beef Rendang was one of the dishes I learned how to cook one rainy afternoon at Russel Wong’s home (yes, the Russel Wong from Bourdain’s Singapore espisode). His wife Judy can cook about as well as Russel can shoot a portrait, after an afternoon sweating over a wok, we were sitting down with friends [...]

While the season during which you can eat ramp greens has come and gone, the bulbs are edible through summer. As the summer progresses, the leaves become too tough to eat, but the bulbs continue to grow larger, making them perfect for pickling.

Preparing for a long trip can be a lot of work, but I try and make the most of it. You might say I’m a bit of a pack-rat, especially in the kitchen, and a trip is a great excuse to finish off those lingering bags of legumes in the back of the cupboard. I [...]

When I was little, I had a very active imagination and instead of practicing my cursive or memorizing times tables, I’d often doze off, letting my day dreams pull me down the rows of faux wood desks and out of the pale green classroom. To this day, my cursive is atrocious and my ability to [...]

Whenever I hear the word “quick” or “light” to describe a recipe, I tend to equate it with “light on flavour”. The irony is that most of the things I cook require less than 15 minutes of prep and a total of less than an hour to complete. I guess this means I should give [...]

The other day, I was restocking my fridge with an order at FreshDirect. I’m not a huge fan of their produce, but they are convenient and they have a surprisingly well stocked selection of meat. I love browsing through the different cuts of meat and on this visit I came across something I’d never seen [...]
