I love cooking with things I forgot about in my fridge. I call it leftover cooking and I do it about once or twice a month. I find it's easier than actually figuring out what to cook for dinner each night. Making something delicious and new from these finds along with one or more pantry [...]
Do you like salads? Typically for me, a salad is a filler so not a “go to” choice for me. I know – damn carnivore! But it is a new year and time to try and eat healthier, let’s see how long I can do this. This is inspired by Nik Sharma’s Curry Leaf Vinaigrette [...]
Here is a delightfully simple and delicious cauliflower dish. I don't know about you but I've eaten way too many sweets Christmas 2021, so let’s start 2022 off on the right foot. This recipe hits all the right spots. In every bite there is sweet from maple syrup, spice from some store bought curry powder [...]
Here is a quick glaze that is beyond delicious on salmon. Simple ingredients (and only 4 of them) you probably have in your pantry/fridge that when mixed together produce a super tasty glaze/marinade. And that's the key, always ensure your glaze is tasty.

Next time you go to a Caribbean restaurant (take out), if they have Steamed Cabbage as a side on the menu, order it – you won’t be disappointed. In trying to find more vegetable dishes to incorporate into our diet, I completely forgot about this one. It is one of my wife’s favorite dishes and [...]
I have been meaning to post this recipe for a while now, but each time I make it we dig into it before getting the pictures for the blog. But today, I was determined to take pictures before sitting down to dinner. For a dish with so few ingredients, it is packed with enormous taste. [...]
Dare I say it?! Nasi Goreng-ish with a twist (of course). I was looking through old photographs in my archives and found this picture of a recipe I first made probably 15 – 20 years ago. It’s been done a few times since then and I don’t know why it never got blogged. But here [...]
This is a complete meal blog - main and side! What makes it taste special is this simple umami flavor-bomb glaze for the salmon. The big secret to any glaze - just kidding, no secret, is to always make it super tasty. In the cooking classes I would always teach this concept - common sense [...]
