Apparently Pescado Rodrigo is a standard mexican preparation of fish, especially in Mexico City (or so I’ve read). This is what I got from my research, but since I have never been to Mexico City, I cannot confirm. I, obviously, took this off a Mexican cookbook. The recipe suggested serving it with corn tortillas. Since […]

I have not stopped cooking on a daily basis, but not able to take good photos all the time. It is either time constraint or composition constraint.

So, this little love muffin came into my life 3 days ago! He is the cutest thing ever and I want to be Elmira and just hug him and squeeze him and love him. Unlike the chickens, he actually enjoys the love cuddles. I decided that I had to take TONS of photos of him. […]

I have posted here the Classic Dan Dan Noodles (slight deviation because I didn’t know I had not bought the correct Chinese preserved vegetable). It was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too runny. After I found my cookbooks, I saw that in Fuschia Dunlop’s Every Grain of Rice, there was also another version […]
