Roasted chicken breasts with leeks , thyme and pancetta
Another great recipe from Jamie Oliver , this one was also super easy , but not too quick to make . Unless you’re making it with boneless chicken . You have to be really careful when baking / cooking chicken breasts , because a lot of people tend to overcook it , and ends up with dry chicken breast . This is one of the reason i’ve never liked chicken breasts , until i found out how to really cook it right , not overcook it !! Anyway , i used chicken breasts with bone in this recipe , i removed the skin , and the rest was just so…

Saturday Afternoon Pasta
Don’t ask me why it’s called saturday afternoon pasta , this recipe was adapted from Jamie Oliver’s cook book . Wasn’t sure at first since i never really had tuna pasta that has cinnamon in the ingredients . I never used cinnamon for cooking , i usually use cinnamon for baking . Period ! But , i am glad i tried this dish though , it’s super easy , did not take long at all to make , and it turns out pretty delicious .Jamie was right though , that you have to use the good quality of tuna . I tried to get the white albacore tuna in oil…

Falafel with Pita Bread
Ever since i tasted hummus , i became interested trying more and more some of middle eastern dish / cuisine . I thought they’re healthy enough , so why not trying it ? Falafel was made from ground chick peas , just like hummus , except we added few ingredients such as parsley , onion , cumin , coriander , some recipe even calls for mint in it . The recipe that i used to make this falafel does not use mint , and only used canned chick peas .Although i have other recipe of falafel that requires soaking the dry chick peas overnight . This recipe is quite easy…

Pizza Margherita
When we make pizza , we usually make the pizza with full topping , like the works or some place , calls it , supreme . But tonight , i thought i should try making the authentic pizza margherita , I decided to make 2 kinds of pizzas tonight , since , obviously , Jay would not want pizza with only fresh mozzarella and basil as its topping . And Nick probably wouldn’t like it either . It’s light and it’s not as filling as the works or the supreme . So , i made my own pizza sauce earlier during the day and then made my pizza dough this…

Korean Sweet and Crispy Chicken
This has become of our favorite dish too . This morning i decided to make this sweet and crispy korean fried chicken . They’re easy to make , except it takes time to deep fry them . And plus you have re-fry them again to guarantee the crispiness of the chicken . Other than that , it’s pretty easy and delicious . The sliced ginger in the sauce turns out to be like a candy by the time the sauce is caramelized . Make sure do not over cook the sauce , or else the sauce not only caramelized , but it’ll get tough and break your teeth LOL ..…

Hot Milk Cake w/ Strawberry and Cream
I was wondering when i found this recipe in my Bon Appetit book , i bought this book few months ago , it has tons of recipes , from cakes , cookies , ice cream to pies . I’ve tried some of their recipes and they’re delicious . One day i ran across this recipe when i was browsing through it , and i thought what the heck is hot milk cake ?? Why do they called hot milk cake ? Well for a good reason , it literally uses hot milk , and the hot milk is poured into the batter . Now come to think of it ,…

Oreo Blizzard
This was an attempt to imitate DQ’s oreo blizzard . I would imagine .. how hard could it be ? It has the vanilla ice cream as it’s base and then you can go from there , and in this case .. i used Oreo cookies . DQ has so many type of blizzard ice cream , which is only vanilla ice cream with treats , any kind .. kit kat , butterfinger .. etc . So after making the vanilla ice cream base , i put it in the ice cream maker , and let it run it’s cycle . About 4 minutes before it finished , i added…

Strawberry Sorbet
Tonight we tried a new recipe from Ben and Jerry ice cream book that i bought the other day . Instead of choosing ice cream , i decided let’s just try making sorbet , we bought lots of strawberries earlier anyway from the grocery store , why not putting them to a good use . The recipe only calls for half a pound , not much at all , but it makes about 1 quart of sorbet . Sorbet is made from fresh fruits , sugar and water , no milk and no heavy cream involved . But i guess if it’s Americanize sorbet , it would be involving milk…
