I Need Me a Blowtorch!
As with almost all my dishes, it all started when I found myself both craving for something I wanted and didn't have something to satisfy that craving. Making crepes were now passe for me since I've been eating them for the past 3 days. (hahaha... getting my food trip on before school!) So I decided to embark on something a little bit harder and at ( Read more... ) -

This Entry was long overdue and I've finally found a place to put it in
I finally created a journal to put my attempts at culinary artworks. (operative word: attempt) The following dishes I have created already in the past and I have no need to ramble on and on how I got to making them. It was a boring day, and fortunately a class opened up and I was able to attend one Heny Sison's classes on Baked Pastas.- Baked ( Read more... )

Attempt at making hakaw
After craving for some chinese dumplings for the past few days, I finally resigned to making them myself. (Since I had little or no money in my wallet, and making them would satisfy my cravings) I decided to make them instead of buy them mainly because of the quantities to be consumed later on to satisfy my craving. I then sat in front of this ( Read more... )
