I’ve been out of it recently. The tell tale signs of forgetting to wash out the conditioner in my hair, putting ice cream in the refrigerator and burying bodies in the backyard opposed to dumping them in the bay. The economy is kicking my ass, produce has skyrocketed and ‘food shortage’ is now regularly [...]

Yesterday, I was greeted with seductive kisses on my neck. And then a casual, "mmm… you smell like pork tenderloin." Not exactly my perfume of choice. However, with this dish, it’s hard to escape its enticing scent. I love making this because it soaks up the flavors. It’s very versatile. I tend to [...]

A recipe on Top Chef caught my eye the other night, bacon with a sweet miso glaze. They didn’t exactly spell out the recipe, in fact, all I have to go with is the look of orgasmic delight on each of the judges faces. Obviously the glaze can be used over anything — [...]

I had seared scallops in a saffron sauce the other night and its intensity of flavor still resonates in my mind. I’ve wondered if I could somehow recreate the dish, simply by taste, and a little background on the mysterious spice.
The most expensive of the spices, saffron, can be a bit of enigma [...]

I know that powdered cheese is probably made from dead bodies and dyed radioactive orange, but it holds a power over me like no other. Here I am, in my mid-twenties, eating boxed mac and cheese (generic mind you, not even Kraft) and I suddenly turn mildly retarded, saying things like, "duuude, this is [...]

I’m craving pasta — hot, delicious and sinfully creamy. There is only one cure for such hunger madness and that’s penne with a rich vodka cream sauce. The pasta is tossed with fresh peas, little balls of sweetness that pop in your mouth, complemented by salty pieces of prosciutto and the heat of crushed [...]

I remember quite clearly the first time I made stuffed artichokes. It was Christmas time, I was in love and had the kitchen all to myself. My boyfriend painted my ornament upstairs, ‘the brain’ from Pinky and the Brain (best-cartoon-ever). Etta James was playing, the wine was flowing… I was staring at the pointy massive [...]

I’ve always been impressed by those who can tell if their meat is medium rare simply by touching it. The sexual innuendos are grand and vast, but we’ll move on. Usually I have to slice into my steak to do this, and naturally I feel inferior.
Apparently, it’s a lot easier than I thought. Science [...]

Biggest aphrodisiac of all time — being cooked for. Sure pornography, oral sex, white beaches and date rape drugs get you in the mood but there’s nothing quite like watching someone you love prepare a meal.
Last night, I made pork tenderloin that was slathered in soy sauce, white wine and shallots. I made tiny slits [...]

This past Easter Sunday, I decided to make a rack of lamb (how cliché!) — one of the easiest and tastiest dinners to create. This is also great for appetizers and makes a great romantic presentation.
On a side note, it was a great accompaniment to the sexual tense film, The Sound of Music. If you’ve [...]
