Korean-style Omelette

Bacalaitos w/ Garlic and Parsley

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:40:56 +0100

Traditionally, salted cod is used for this recipe, but for the sake of everyone's blood pressure, I used fresh cod and salted the water in which it's cooked. The result: salted cod that isn't overly salty.

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:44:29 +0100

Halo-halo directly translates into "mix-mix" in Tagalog. It's a traditional ice dessert in the Philippines, similar to a sundae. While the original version includes palm fruit and condensed/evaporated milk, I kept this version simple and added some fresh seasonal berries.

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:06:32 +0100
