Papardelle With Peas

Papardelle with English peas, radicchio and some lemon.

Sweet Cinnamon Morning

How awesome is this to have for breakfast? Soft and fluffy cinnamon buns made by my sister with vanilla cream cheese frosting. mmmmMMMM.

First Burger

The first burger of the summer! Summer arrived very late this year. These juicy patties were sandwiched inside mini brioche buns with morbier cheese and red onion jam.

Dumplings

Potstickers, gyozas, whathaveyou. A while ago some friends and I had spent the afternoon making batches of Chinese dumplings and frying them up for dinner. We each went home with freezer bagfuls for a rainy day. This rainy day I pan fried some of the pork and yellow chive dumplings, making sure to get nicely browned, crispy bottoms. For the dipping sauce I like to mix equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar, grated garlic and a dash each of sesame oil and Tabasco sauce.
