cuisine

From street-food to fine dining, traditional Italian to Asian-Fusion, being well-versed in global cuisine is the first step to culinary mastery.

The art of cooking
Having grown up in a Mexican, German and Norwegian household. All these cultures, cuisines, and flavors binding into one. Made me realize my love and passion for cooking at the age of 4. My aunt would watch me on the weekends. And we would have different ethnic nights, every Saturday. It would go from British, to Spanish, Indian, German, Thai, French, you name it. Being creative, and expressing how you feel, from your cooking, It's simply an art, and brings the joy in bringing people together. Having others react to your style, your spin on different dishes. There's no other feeling in this world. My parents would always be working, and I would make dinner, try unique recipes. With whatever we had in the fridge. Made me realize, you can do so much, with so little. Even at a young age. It's also all about seasoning and savor the flavor.

The Notorious F-I-G!
I remember when school lunch days offered trail mix. I would eat around the tree nuts and eat the fruit. For a while, I thought the chewy fruit I was eating within the trail mix was raisins.

Offal For You
Offal is also known as variety meats or any parts of the innards of animals including blood, brain, intestines, heart, eyes, trotters, testicles and such. Even though most people are used to preparing dishes with the actual meat of the animal a lot of tasty foods can be prepared with livers, kidneys, hearts, brain, and lungs among other innards. These make for full and nurtitious meals and in some countries are cheaper to purchase than meat to keep in budget and feed large families.

A soft cloudy pillow
When biting down into a beignet, you taste the sweet puffy pillow. The light crunch before the soft middle is like nothing else. It's like when you’re ready to lay your head on a silk duck-feather pillow after a long tiring day; you first feel the cool exterior of the silk; then ease into the surface where you can hear the slight crunch of the duck feathers.

Momma, can we have crabcakes for dinner?
If you're a Momma and if you live in South Carolina, I guarantee you've heard this question more than once. You see, South Carolinians or Sandlappers as the locals call themselves, have this profound love for anything seafood and crabcakes rank in the top one or two favorite foods. So what makes crabcakes so good? It depends on who the cook is for one thing and it depends on the recipe for another. Some crabcakes are tart and bitter while others taste a little sweet. Either way, the crabmeat is what's important and that's where Soby's Restaurant comes in.

Making Artoklasia
For the past few weeks, I have been a Martha instead of a Mary. I got it into my head that, since I have finally retired, I should start doing all the stuff I wanted to do but couldn’t because I was working. The Dormition Feast Day was coming up (August 15), so I endeavored to teach myself to make Artoklasia.
