Recently, we’ve acquired some high quality NY 12 oz Certified Angus Beef steaks (thanks DA!) Because of the quality, the best way to eat these are rare. Don’t even think of going higher than medium rare! Not feeling like going out in the blazing 30+ degree C sun, cooking them on a cast iron pan offers…
Revscene BC Spot Prawns
One of my favourite forums to browse is Revscene.net. There is a food forum there which inspired me to try making spot prawns at home! Seeing other home cooks make such beautiful variations of BC Spot Prawns inspired me to cook some for the first time ever. For an ingredient like this, simplest is best. …
Diablo Crispy Pork Belly [Siu Yuk]
Yesterday, we had a BBQ on the beach, so we decided to bring Korean Style Short-Ribs. While shopping for meat, Jax saw that pork belly was a decent price, so she picked up a couple packs for ourselves. Co-incidentally, one of her friends just asked about how to make pork belly, so this is the…
Yah Yah Ya Ramen [Restaurant]
Today, we decided to go to Richmond Night Market for dinner. We chose the “International” offering (behind Home Depot) and boy were we disappointed. After having a Hurricane Potato each, we left due to the dismal selections. Craving something completely different, we decided to go for ramen! Searching reviews, Yah Yah Ya Ramen appeared to…
First Steak of Summer!
You know what time it is? BBQ time! The sun is shining, the weather is perfect, what a better time to have a classic steak? Nothing fancy about this post, just excited to have a grilled steak finally after such a long time! Too bad the cut of meat we got wasn’t very good —…
VH Gran Ventana [Dominican Republic Resort]
For those of you whom follow this blog, you will have noticed there was no post last week. No, I didn’t forget — Jax an I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary back in the Caribbean! Staying at the VH Gran Ventana in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, we enjoyed a week of pure…
Summertime Raspberry Lemon Almond Cake [Gluten Free]
The weather here has been phenomenal this past week! It’s been very warm, and summer-like! This put Jax in the mood to make a light cake, that is perfect to share during a bbq or picnic. The added benefit? It’s gluten free! (You can also use many other buzzwords, like Paleo, flourless, berry, etc, but…
Garlic Rosemary Rack of Lamb
Food We Like To Eat isn’t always about sharing recipes, or restaurant reviews. Sometimes it’s literally just sharing something that we really like to eat. Rack of lamb is one of my favourite cuts of meat. If I have any say as to what my birthday meal is, I will always say rack of lamb. …
Procrastination Mango Munchies
We love puff pastry. Look at all of the previous recipes we’ve posted, and you’ll see how many include puff pastry. It’s so versatile — you can have it with both savoury and sweet. Since it’s readily available at our grocery store, it’s super convenient to always keep some in the freezer. This is another…
Bloodsport Braised Pork Belly [Hong Shao Ro]
The first time I went over to Jax’s family for their Chinese New Year dinner, her mom cooked a Red Meat dish that I absolutely fell in love with! I knew on my first bite that I’d have to start making it myself! Why Bloodsport? Simply because it’s my favourite movie of all time! This…
Jax’s Salmon Wellington – A Secret Family Classic
This dish had it’s beginnings in my uncle’s restaurant in the 80s. The place was called Jonathan’s (named after my cousin) and you could find it on Granville Island back in the day. My mom and dad LOVED this dish and we would go there every Sunday to have it for brunch. Since the restaurant closed down we have never found a place that…
Sushi By Yuji [Restaurant]
Continuing the sharing of restaurants we like here in Vancouver, today we are highlighting Jax’s favourite place for sushi! Once again, this isn’t a review; it’s an informational session! Located literally a stones throw away from Chefe Daniel, Sushi By Yuji again embodies Food We Like To Eat! One chef, and one waitress. Cooking in…
