I’m a sucker for any kind of soup. Especially if the broth has dashi – you might just have to give me a few minutes to just eat my soup. Whenever I’m winging recipes, I let my tastebuds take the…
Golden Cauliflower
Roasting a whole head of cauliflower will never not be impressive. And it’s actually super easy and much easier than roasting a whole chicken and less clean-up. The mustard oil is essential in this particular recipe. The cauliflower just soaks…
Tom Kha-ish
This recipe is my ode to all the various tom khas I’ve had through out Thailand and also my ode to my favourite South East Asian flavours. And while I’ve taken inspiration from the origial recipe by no means am…
Kabab-y Short Ribs
Some days I want all the kababs and not all the work that goes into making/forming them. Whenever I buy korean styled short-ribs I tend to make just make galbi and be done with it. But this time around I…

Once a upon a time someone had forwared me a recipe for cilantro rice. It was basically some fluffy white rice with cilantro leaves mixed into it. I mean if you say cilantro rice I want to smacked in the…

Cheesy Mushroom Puffs
I recently had a white mushroom pizza at one of our local pizza places (Love Supreme, for all you Austin peeps). Which inspired this recipe. I owe a huge shout-out to Trader Joe’s for having pre-sliced crimini mushrooms and a…
