Beef fillet with a gratin of mushroom

Beef fillet with a gratin of mushroom

Christmas Eve dinner was easy last year. Easy or I should say easier because I only prepared a 3-meal course rather than the usual 5. This is what we had for the 2nd course (main). I was lucky enough to have found a 4-piece pack of beautiful Argentine beef for this Gordon Ramsey recipe. Got it from his 'Secrets' book p. 73. By the way, this book has got star awards from users (see Amazon.com) Both my husband and I aren't really fond of steaks. But I'll surely prepare this recipe again

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! MAY 2010 BRING US HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH, CHEERS! It's January 1st and I thought I should start the year right by updating my foodblog. It's not a joke maintaining 6 blogs (each serving a purpose) but I must not complain because all 6 are my babies. Alright, let me share with you a side dish I made for our Christmas eve 2009 dinner (for 2). I made a 3-course dinner but decided not to post all at once. I found the recipe for this online 2 days before I was to

This blog needs…

Some serious updates! I've been away for quite sometime now, I know. It's just that there hasn't been much action in my kitchen the past weeks, read: NO NEW RECIPES because my husband's been asking for the same meal over and over again. And I do not want to repost recipes I have already posted. But I promise to do updates as soon as I get the chance. Hope all's been well with you all...all my 2 visitors :D

Dim Daily in Rotterdam

Saturday's lunch is always 'eat out'. My husband and I are always excited during Saturdays because it means the working week is over and we're trying out restaurants in the near by city (Rotterdam) So far we have two favorite restaurants that we frequent. Both serving Asian food, clean, well prepared and price is reasonable. But last Saturday we did not go to any of our favorites but instead tried a new restaurants. the Dim Daily. Location is right in the middle of shopping areas that coming f

Cookies and more goodies!

Baking is simply my waterloo. I don't know why, but it seems that every attempt I made in baking only resulted in 'heartache'. So I stick to cooking and no longer braving to touch my oven, well at least for now. BUT I don't fret because mail order cookies are always available! At davidscookies.com, like me you can satisfy all your baked goodies desire. Are you looking for that perfect and delicious fruit tarts to send as gift to family or friends? Simply browse the website and order the one th

Gift baskets!

Holidays are just around the corner and the time to give out gifts is at hand! Okay I am being overacting there but to be honest, Corporate Gift Baskets that we get from some of our business contacts are what I am looking forward to every year! Some of them give out really cool gift baskets. My most favorite is our insurance guy who takes time to choose gifts that he gives away, gifts that he makes sure his clients would appreciate and enjoy. Now that's thoughtful, isn't it? How I wish he'd th

Still dreaming of visiting any Nobu Restaurant!

Since I first purchased Noboyuki Matsuhisa's first book, I fell in love with his presentations and ultimately, with his genius way of mixing his ingredients. I've tried making 2 of his recipes during our Christmas dinner last year and I said to myself that I will try again to make 1 or 2 for this year's dinner. Can you remember this: that was TEMPURA PRAWNS WITH SPICY CREAMY SAUCE from last year's which was a big hit, thanks to Nobu's recipe. My dream is also to eat in any of his restaurants w
