  • For Your Spice Rack: Seasoned Salt

    For Your Spice Rack: Seasoned Salt

    Ree’s Chicken Spaghetti called for seasoned salt, which I now know is not the same as regular salt or Ajinomoto.  Lol.  Seems like in the States one can get these pre-made in a bottle, but I really didn’t feel like going out to some high-end grocer to buy something that may cost me something like…

  • For your spice rack: Cajun Spice Mix

    The Red Lobster biscuits copycat recipe called for Cajun seasoning, and after browsing around there seems to be several different variations of it.  I finally settled with the recipe from Allrecipes.com, since I had all the required ingredients on hand. Ingredients 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 1/2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon ground black…

  • Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup

    Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup

    This creamy soup is filled with generous amounts of mushrooms, and is seriously the best I have ever tasted.  I will not make cream of mushroom soup any other way ever again.  A portion of this recipe was used for the Emerilized Green Bean Casserole, and the rest was served as a starter.  Definitely…

    Weekend Cooking: Classic Chicken Jambalaya

  • Chicken in a Box

    Chicken in a Box

    This event actually started off as a simple gathering among friends to share a whole pile of uneaten chocolates.  At the same time I wanted to try out Emeril’s fried chicken recipe, and needed guinea pi– I mean, food tasters.  Then after some thought I figured I wouldn’t be right serving just fried chicken…

  • Raya 2012 Part Deux: Beef Stroganoff

    Raya 2012 Part Deux: Beef Stroganoff

    Since Abg Fauzi didn’t spend the first few days of Hari Raya with us, we had a 2nd gathering of sorts, which involved a few dishes making a comeback (the meatballs and the tuna tetrazzini) as well as the debut of a very sinful, very yummy dish.  While the total cost of ingredients may…

  • Make Your Own: Essence (Worth the trouble)

    Make Your Own: Essence (Worth the trouble)

    This is the recipe for Emeril’s Essence, a blend of spices used in most of his recipes.  Since most of my recipes in this blog are basically Emeril’s, I figured I’d post the recipe here.  I basically double the recipe and keep the whole thing in an airtight jar stashed in the freezer.  Some…
