An Honest Account of My Attempt with Mini Basque-style Cheesecakes

Cooking with Dog is a longtime favorite YouTube channel of mine. Chef creates amazing dishes and her meticulous and painstakingly clean way of cooking is for some reason, very soothing. I guess organization and attention to detail gives me pleasure. Recently she made mini Basque-style cheesecakes – give it a watch, it’s lovely and seemingly…

Thanksgiving Meal Planning 2020

Since we’re all celebrating the holidays differently this year, the only “for sure” Thanksgiving plans I have is that I’m going to cook. And plan a menu. For who? My husband. And maybe if my siblings drop by, they’re obviously welcome too. Here is the menu I’m preparing this year. Thanksgiving Sides Stuffing Muffins from…

Best Bean Dip

I like September for many reasons. First off, it is my birthday month. Second, it marks the start of fall. This time last year we went on a river rafting trip. One of the meals served was this 12-layer bean dip cooked in a big cast iron skillet. In remembrance of the trip, we decided…

Making Hoedeopbap at Home

In an effort to eat healthier, the latest project the hubs and I are doing is cooking our way through a comic book of Korean recipes by graphic artist Robin Ha. So far we’ve successfully done dubu buchim, panfried tofu in soy sesame sauce and jangjorim, beef braised in soy sauce with eggs. Most recently…

My September 2020 DineLA Restaurant List (takeout edition)

Now that we’ve been living with Covid for more of the year than not, I’ve got my takeout game down pretty well now, just in time for the next round of DineLA. (I used to almost never get takeout pre-Covid. I’m more of a cook at home or dine-in type). I’ve narrowed down my top…

The Best of Takeout in Los Angeles

While restaurants across the country have been opening (prematurely IMO), I’ll be sticking to getting takeout and order to go, probably for the rest of the year. It all depends on when a vaccine gets developed. Anyway, if you’re sticking to takeout as well, which I highly recommend, I wanted to create a list of…

Sushi Bake

I am always craving sushi. 90% of the time when my husband asks what I’m in the mood for when we decide to eat out, my answer is sushi (bless him for his patience). As fellow sushi and sashimi lovers know, it’s an expensive habit. When one of my closest friends introduced me to the…
