Smoked Duck and Sausage Gumbo
•
I’m really trying hard to clear out stuff from my freezer. It doesn’t help that I keep buying new ingredients, I know, but I still try. I had a few smoked duck breasts sitting at the bottom of my freezer for ages, and I knew I had to make something that would do them…

GobbleFest 2017 Leftovers: Turkey Noodle Casserole

Eman’s Chicken Kabsa
•
Mummy wasn’t feeling well a few weekends back, and I was really worried because she took so long to recover and had such poor appetite. I decided to make something nice for her for dinner, in hopes that she’d eat more. I didn’t want to do a lamb dish, because I figured an elevated…

Weekend Cooking: Saleeg

I’ve been looking through the Saudi Food Eman YouTube channel, and seriously this lady is pretty talented. I’ve tried a few of her recipes already, and have quite a long list of others in my weekend cooking queue.

Weekend Cooking: Lamb Haneeth with Rice
•
During a rare trip to Berkat Madinah, a Middle Eastern grocer, I bought a jar of Chef Ammar’s haneeth spice. We love the haneeth served at Half Moon, our favorite Arab restaurant, so I figured I’d try making it on my own. However recipes I found online were very different from what I thought…

We got Monday off to celebrate our victory at the SEA Games, so Rudy and I decided to have the family over for dinner. The fridge was overflowing with chicken and lamb and all sorts of stuff, so I joined the effort to clean it out. I needed to feed about 9 adults, so…

Weekend Cooking: Pressure Cooker Chicken with Chickpeas, Tomatoes, and Sausage
•
After having my morning coffee and having finished this week’s copy of The Edge, I wandered into the kitchen and saw Kak’mbang staring at the chicken she just cut up. I asked her what was on her mind, and she said she had trouble figuring out what to do with it for lunch today.…
