She bought them frozen from Costco and just baked them. She said it was the best and we dared her toContinue reading “Dinner at Rizette’s House”

Mushroom-Braised Short Ribs
I saw this recipe on The Today Show and tried my hand at making it but with a twist.I bought a pack of Australian short ribs from S&R because they were leaner and hopefully more tender than the local beef. Not in the picture is the bottle of white wine. Yes, white wine. Most beefContinue reading “Mushroom-Braised Short Ribs”

Eataly, NYC
The first on my list of “must go” places in New York was Eataly. As soon as we dropped off our bags at Residence Inn in Times Square and took a quick detour in Bryant Park we walked 17 blocks to Eataly. The mozarepa must have given us renewed energy to walk so far. WeContinue reading “Eataly, NYC”
Lunch at Yumemiya Japanese Cafe
I pass by Northeast Square along Connecticut St. in Greenhills everyday on my way to work. It’s been open for several months already but I’ve never eaten at any of the numerous restaurants in the building. That’s why when my friend Tisay came to Manila for one of her quick trips I suggested Yumemiya JapaneseContinue reading “Lunch at Yumemiya Japanese Cafe”
Lunch at Gotti’s
I’m very easy to invite to eat out. Just send me a text and I’ll be there. That’s what my high school friends did. They were kind enough to treat me for their birthday. Who am I to say no? There are so many restaurants in SM Megamall’s atrium that I haven’t tried so IContinue reading “Lunch at Gotti’s”
Dinner at Cantinetta
Cantinetta has been around for quite a while in Makati. I only got the chance to try it last September when we went to their Podium branch to celebrate my birthday. There were very few people that night. We were off to a good start. The complimentary bread was warm and crisp and the liverContinue reading “Dinner at Cantinetta”

After a wonderful seven week vacation that began in late June and ended in August 2010 it was time to say goodbye and get back to reality.

Creamy Mushroom Truffle Pasta
When I was on vacation in Virginia last July we didn’t eat out all the time. One night I offered to cook some pasta which is my specialty. My favorite ingredient for pasta is fresh mushrooms which are costly in Manila and we don’t get many varieties either. For this dish which I cooked withoutContinue reading “Creamy Mushroom Truffle Pasta”
Pasta with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, Sausage and Spinach
I bought this giant jar of sun dried tomatoes from Costco last year and it’s been sitting in my pantry waiting to be opened. I finally opened it last Monday to make sun dried tomato pesto for a pasta dish I was going to make for lunch. Rochelle and co. were coming to the houseContinue reading “Pasta with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, Sausage and Spinach”
