This is another version of saving and preserving tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are really good addition to sandwiches, pasta and to a lot of dishes. This recipe is from Mario Batali’s “Molto Italiano” cookbook and I just loved it!!!...

It is the time of the year where pickling, canning and brining is a must for me. Why I say it’s a must because after I learned how to make my own tomato sauce, I just don’t want to use any canned tomatoes at all. It tastes so much better without any...

This month’s KCC Cooking Challenge is: Filipino Aphrodisiac Food. The first thing that came to my mind is the Soup No#5 and Balut!!! I’m not sure if I’m ready to make that soup yet and I haven’t even tasted it in the first place. And for the...

This dish is one of the “Express Meals” – again. I wanted to eat some sort of seafood and the squid caught my fancy. And tonight, I have to make dinner in a flash again. I remember my mom used to make this and this is very quick and easy....

I am hesitating of making this dish – let alone writing about it. The reason is that I did not really make it from scratch so I just justified myself that this will belong to the “meals in a flash category”. I wanted some soup but I barely have an...
