I came across a slow cooker recipe of Coconut-Curry Beef here , that looked delicious and I really wanted to try it. But since I don’t own a crock-pot, I coverted it into a non-slow cooker recipe, like my Honey Seasame Chicken recipe I did earlier and gave it a go in my trusty pressure cooker. Now, you don’t need a pressure cooker for this recipe, but if you have one and know…

Stout, former chef of in Cupertino who’s now building his own restaurant, in Campbell, did what any self-respecting chef would do when he spied the…

There is a time and a place for breakfast quinoa. Did you know that you can make a gin and tonic cake? Because I didn’t. Until last night, when I ate some, and it tasted EXACTLY like a gin and tonic. And it had gin in it. And it’s sort of all I can think about right now (probably because of the gin) but instead I’m eating quinoa. Could my life be any more boring? I wish I was…
