Smoky Pumpkin Soup
Smoky pumpkin soup built on bacon fat and beef stock, finished with Marsala wine and crisp bacon. A savory, deeply autumnal bowl that skips the cream and leans on real depth.
Pastrami Sandwich
Added sliced Provolone, which I melted over the top under the broiler and made the sandwiches in pita pockets. Delicious!
Horseradish-Garlic Burgers
Horseradish garlic burgers with thyme, chives, and melted Havarti on toasted onion rolls. Grilled gourmet patties with bold, sharp flavor.
Basil Pesto & Fresh Tomato Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is probably one of the easiest and tastiest foods to make. The warm-oozy cheese and nicely browned bread are just irresistible. You can add whatever you like in the filling between the bread, extra yumminess is always welcomed.

The Original recipe for SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Pea-Mint Sauce
A very refreshing and tasty sauce! We had lots of frozen peas and lots of fresh mint growing at our backyard, this recipe was perfect for us to use up some of the peas and mint.
Crab n' Bacon Cheese Melt Sandwiches
Crab, bacon and cheese melts. A match made in heaven.
Bob's Hot Chili
Bob's hot chili: ground beef simmered low and slow with whole tomatoes, tomato paste, red beans, chili sauce, and a kick of cayenne. The classic two-hour chili with serious heat.
Creamy Salmon & New Potato Salad
Creamy yet refreshing. The salmon and new potatoes were tossed with a creamy dressing, and it was so tasty.
Hot Chinese Fried Rice
I've always thought of fried rice as the quintessential comfort food. Think of it - a bowl of steaming white rice cooked to just the right consistency, filled with full of vegetable. No wonder fried rice is one of the world's most popular rice dishes!
Asian Noodle, Cucumber & Lettuce with Peanut Sauce
Toss vermicelli, cucumber, radishes, lettuce with store-bought or homemade peanut sauce. The dish can be made a few hours or one day ahead. A deliciously refreshing summer dish.
Cottage Pie!
So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:
