When I told you that my spicy, pickled carrots were so good that you’d want to plan a meal around them, I was speaking from experience. From first tangy crunch, I knew that a taco night was imminent. Do I sound like I mean business or what? Beer Battered Cod Tacos Last weekend I had […]
Branzino with Tatsoi & Roasted Peanuts I had the most inspiring meal last weekend. There was no nine course meal or wine pairings or molecular gastro-anything, but all the same, this meal revitalized my taste buds in a way that redefined "hitting the spot". It's these simple, unadorned meals that leave me and my appetite […]
Pan Seared Escolar with Cherry Tomatoes, Corn & Basil Being the overzealous type of person that I am, often times, little pit stops leave me riding my bike miles and miles with a freaking melon in my backpack. A sad but true story. Usually, it's safety first. Big, dorky helmet – check! Epilepsy-inducing blinky back […]
Broiled Butterfish with Braised Shiitakes & Bok Choy If I were to be a Spice Girl, I'd definitely be Asian Spice. Number one, I'm asian (duh) and two, I just love asian flavors. It's always a go-to style of cooking for me. Salty balanced by sweet – you can't go wrong. On a recent trip to Ranch […]
Broiled Sea Bass Collar in Miso Broth I just finished eating this, literally, two minutes ago and couldn't wait to share it with you guys. I get so darn excited about eating. Tonight, I broiled pieces of Chilean Sea Bass collar that I had seasoned with sesame oil, sugar and soy sauce. All crispy and […]
Trout Fillets with Asparagus, Celery & Chive Salad I played the role of Super Shuttle this week at work, carting co-workers to LAX. It's a straight shot from work and conveniently enough it passes right by Bristol Farms. I don't shop there much, but every once in a while it's nice to pick up a […]
Halibut with Tomato Caper Sauce For a tangy sauce that's sure to tantalize your taste buds, look no further. This spicy tomato caper sauce would pair well with any type of fish/meat/vegetable. B picked up a few halibut fillets on his way home as I worked on preparing the sauce. That way dinner would be […]
Braised Pork Belly with Banana Wrapped Rock Cod I'm on day three of my six day "vacation". I call it a "vacation" since I'm just visiting the family for the holidays (no sunny island getaways). It's nice to get out of LA once in a while, though my blood has thinned and I've been freezing […]
I literally got to SM Seafood last night three minutes before closing. Rushing around as usual. Tick-tock… The pressure was on… I put on my dinner thinking cap. I didn't want to be "that person". You know what I'm talking about, don't you? I use to work in retail and there was nothing worse than having a customer come in […]
