Mozzarella & Pecorino Romano “Stacked” Shells with Beef, Carrots and Celery

Mozzarella & Pecorino Romano “Stacked” Shells with Beef, Carrots and Celery

I’m known for never making the obvious and never doing the same thing everyone else does. I try to get creative every time I cook and this recipe is no exception. I started cooking without a game plan — I simply started to chop up a few veggies and let the rest happen naturally. It’s a bit scary to cook this way, but sometimes the stars align and this is the beautiful and delicious end result. S…

Ingredients: 70 oz ripe tomatoes 2 tablespoons extra virgin oliv…

Vegan Filipino Eggplant Omelette

Vegan Filipino Eggplant Omelette

Tortang Talong or Eggplant Omelette is made by frying eggplants dipped in egg batter. Many Filipinos love it because it’s tasty and convenient to cook, especially if they’re on a budget.

Quick & Easy Korean Bimbimbap

Quick & Easy Korean Bimbimbap

Remember Winter Sonata? OMG! Every girl I know was talking non-stop about the drama, the love story, the heartbreak, the tears and of course the handsome BAE YONG CHOON (which I had a crush on too!). I remembered it was Winter Sonata that created the whole Korean drama craze in Malaysia. Since then, I had my fair share of other Korean drama series and intrigued by their culture and food. As much as I tried to lea…

Ricky Ricotta Burgers

Ricky Ricotta Burgers

Burger quest number three! Figured there should be a beef burger in the mix right? But there are so many great burger recipes floating through the cyber world how can anyone possibly create something remotely new and different? Short answer is I don’t think it can be done!
