Pressure Cooked Octopus. Recipe.

As I mentioned in my prelude to this recipe, pressure cookers make complex recipes simpler and deliver outstanding results. Just try not to blow it up. Follow the manufacturers instructions to the dot and things should be fine. 

Morning Coffee. Learning The Mystery Of The Froth.

I like to make this coffee on weekends when no one is yet awake. Sleeping is boring but apparently everyone in my house believes otherwise.

Handle them recklessly and you’ll be chewing on a piece of dry, rubbery substance – guaranteed Another fact to ponder upon - steaks, unlike your sex partner, will not give you a second chance to get it right. And finally, very similar to watching porn - remember - the instructional videos have ...

Marinated Skirt Steak. Recipe.

I talk a lot about wonders of sous vide cooking. Because I love it. This particular cut, however, is best grilled. I don't know why.

Sous Vide Hanger Steak. Recipe.

I jotted down some thoughts on why certain types of steaks are great when cooked sous vide. Here is the link to this incredibly educating brain dump. It makes a huge difference to the taste, juiciness, flavor, tenderness and visual presentation of a steak. And it is easier to cook sous vide than to pronounce its fancy name.
