    The first week following returning from our trip to Thailand, I cooked Thai dishes at 3,4 AM for 7 days straight.

  • Lemon rosemary roasted chicken with rustic ratatouille

    Lemon rosemary roasted chicken with rustic ratatouille

    Post call days are now for meal prepping instead of extravagant creations. Fall always inspires me to go back to on of my favourite roasted veggie dish – ratatouille. 

  • Orange ginger miso salmon

    Orange ginger miso salmon

    6 weeks of CTU and 1 week of laryngitis later, I’m finally back (sort of). Hosting a dinner for four calls for new experiment in the kitchen.

  • Duck breast prosciutto

    Duck breast prosciutto

    I’m in a cooking hiatus. The title of this blog says it all – no postcall days= no creative cooking. So this isn’t exactly a recipe, not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for those who are fearful of dying from listeria.

  • Duck confit

    Duck confit

    It all started with a 13 dollar duck from Chinatown (again) and my short attention span leading to burning my rendered duck fat. What to do with duck fat that has a slight burnt flavour to it?

  • Sweet potato shepards pie

  • Five spice roasted pork belly

    Five spice roasted pork belly

    And just 3 days ago I thought massive cooking was no more for the year 2015. On the last day of the holiday working block, at the cusp of my pending freedom for the next few days, fuelled by the excitement of being let off work extra early, I decided to invite 2-3 buddies over…

  • NOLA BBQ Shrimp (not really)

    NOLA BBQ Shrimp (not really)

    This is an incredible new orleans dish that’s super easy to make. We had this dish at Mr.B’s Bistro in the French Quarter, and since then i’ve been reading various recipes to try to identify the key ingredients in this dish.
