GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls
•
When having roast turkey, one usually would have it with stuffing. Even though I butterfly my turkey and therefore there’s nothing I can stuff my stuffing into, I usually would still make stuffing on the side. So far I haven’t found any stuffing recipe that Rudy actually liked, and dinner wouldn’t be complete without dinner…

Potluck: Cheeseburger Sliders
•
I saw a video by Tastemade some time ago on how to make 4 types of sliders, and I knew I had to try making them. I was going to make the cheeseburger sliders for a potluck tonight, but the host came down with fever and had to cancel (get well soon, Elle!). I was really looking…

Weekend Cooking: Kak’mbang’s Chicken Rice
•
Others may have their own personal preferences, but Rudy and I both agree that Kak’mbang’s chicken rice is really, really good. This was another recipe that simply must be preserved for generations to come, but again I’ve always had trouble catching her in action (she’s such a ninja in the kitchen; dishes just magically appear and you…

Potluck: Tuna Tetrazzini
•
This dish was one of the earliest recipes I’ve tried making, when I first starting cooking for fun. I basically stuck to one chef on Food Network – Emeril Lagasse – and generally his dishes turn out great. I started bringing his dishes to office potlucks, and they never disappoint. This tuna tetrazzini is super comforting…

Potluck: Stovetop Mac and Cheese
•
Over the weekend Rudy had a few friends over for a potluck hi-tea of sorts, and given that it was Sunday afternoon I wanted to make something really simple and quick. Mac and cheese came to mind, and up until then I never could find any recipe that I would make again. This one…

GobbleFest 2015: Brown Butter Cornbread
•
When putting together the menu for this year’s GobbleFest, I asked the Round Knights for suggestions and Azuan pointed out that we were missing a bakery item. Serious Eats had already put together an amazing classic Thanksgiving menu, and this cornbread recipe was on the list, so I decided to try it out. I’ve tried other cornbread…

GobbleFest 2015: Creamy Cauliflower and Bacon Soup
•
One must have soup as a starter for any dinner party (well, mine at least), and this recipe by SeriousEats caught my eye. Not only were we able to fulfil our veg quota for the night (together with the stuffing), the garnishing that came with this hearty soup was also great for kicking up our…

Office Potluck: Lasagne
•
A few of my colleagues will be moving out from my floor to a different building, so we decided to throw a farewell potluck of sorts (an excuse to eat good food is always welcome), and one of them was craving lasagne. Since it has been quite a while since I made it, I decided to…

Weekend Cooking: Creamy Smoked Chicken Pie
•
I went grocery shopping today, and was planning to just make some dumpling soup for dinner tonight. Then I saw that they were clearing out their stock of smoked chicken at half price, so I did a quick search online for recipe ideas, and landed on this one. I tweaked the recipe with what I had on…

Dinner Club: Parker House Rolls
•
For last night’s Dinner Club session, I needed a few good sides to serve with my roast lamb shoulder, and while surfing around the Net I came upon this site which lists out some really good side dish suggestions. Who can resist good dinner rolls, let alone rolls completely coated in butter before baking. I just had…
