I made the sotanghon, chicken and mushroom soup from Pinoy Cook tonight and it was wonderful; really easy and really filling. (The wonderful-ness of it all was helped along by the Global...

Wagyu beef ravioli

One of my favourite things about cooking is that with practice, it gets easier and easier to smoosh multiple recipes together, substitute ingredients at will and still end up with something super tasty. We picked up some frozen handmade wagyu be...

Orange bread & butter pudding

It's started to get cooler here and I've been trying to get into making desserts and baked goods more, so I made this citrusy twist on bread and butter pudding today. I'd never bothered to segment an orange properly for a recipe before this one,...

Smoked trout risotto with caper creme fraiche The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups

We've had a smoked trout sitting in our fridge since last time we went to the farmers' market, so I made this tonight. Risotto isn't hard to make, per se; you do need to measure your ingredients and stir it constantly for half an hour if you wa...

Saltimbocca alla Romana

Yes, I bought the cooking not-game. Shut up. It's aimed directly at me. My husband and I were incredulous that the recipes in Cooking Guide could taste good when made as is, so we've decided to try out recipes and review them with photos until w...

Long time no post (yet again), eek. I've been playing Lost Odyssey non-stop lately... at the rate I'm going I'll probably be finished in another week. :P I'm enjoying it immensely though!

I'm an occasional Gourmet Traveller reader. I say "occasional" because it's definitely not aimed at me and I tend to read it for the pictures more than anything else. A random selection of its content would include Rolex ads, Tetsuya Wakuda sell...

Pork and mushrooms adobo

One of the downsides of moving out on your own means you just don't eat your parents' cooking as often. I went to the Grand Phillipine Fiesta last weekend specifically to eat, but I had to leave early because I had to be at a convention. Sure, I ...

Hey, long time no post! Three (ha) guesses what I'm playing now... I never imagined there would be a third Persona game, so the fact that one came out and I am playing it in English is both surreal and really really cool. Expect a lot more fanar...

Male and female student

I've just started playing Enchanted Arms on the Xbox 360 and I'm fairly hooked. It's a pretty standard JRPG but I'm having fun! The fandom for this game is nonexistent, as is the official art... so I paused the game today to draw up some referen...
