Snappper Croquettes

September 14, 2016 by Nicolas 3 Comments

An overhead photo of rolled out uncooked snapper croquettes.

Hi everyone! So let me just start by saying that these snapper croquettes are a bit fiddly and they do take a bit of time. But I can assure you that it is worth it in the end because they are so damb tasty. Plus, you can make the mixture in advance and get it…

Roast Quail with Polenta

August 29, 2016 by Nicolas 12 Comments

Roasted quail on polenta and rocked with parsley being sprinkled over the top.

If you ever want to try something different or cook something that will get people super curious. Roast quail is a great way to go. It was very nice to cook a meat other than the usual chicken, lamb, beef and pork. I have tried cooking and eating a fair few different game birds now….

Whole Roast Duck

July 25, 2016 by Nicolas 8 Comments

whole roast duck

It was quite challenging finding a conclusion on how to go about cooking a Whole Roast Duck. I have said it once before and I will say it again. Although I have done quite a bit of research, that does not make me a duck roasting expert. I completely lost count on how many roast duck…

Grilled Halloumi Cheese with Roasted Red Peppers

July 16, 2016 by Nicolas 16 Comments

Roasted red peppers with grilled halloumi cheese served on a chopping board.

So this is the second time I ever cooked halloumi cheese, and the first time I have ever experimented with it. So this was a new experience for me. What do I think of halloumi cheese you may be asking but probably not? Well, I’m going to tell you anyway. Personally, I really like it…

Classic Daiquiri

Classic Daiquiri 5

So, here we are, with another cocktail post. Today I decided to do a classic daiquiri with prosciutto wrapped asparagus, as I believe the fruity and salty flavours are a great combination. I did quite enjoy the daiquiri and I thought it was nice to take it up a notch in terms of strength. I…

Cannelloni

May 16, 2016 by Nicolas 9 Comments

A overhead photo of cannelloni in a baking tray being served on a plate.

Most cannelloni recipes I see on the internet are made with ricotta and cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s a fantastic flavour combination. However, I decided to make a change, so I have gone for a tomato based cannelloni with a creamy minced beef filling. I remember doing this at my culinary school…

Pan fried snapper with grenobloise sauce

February 23, 2016 by Nicolas 1 Comment

Grenobloise sauce: Use a pot or pan to sautee (quickly frying) the lemon segments and capers in the unsalted butter then set aside. Quickly heat up the mash potato on the stove and/or the tomatoes in the oven if need be. Feel free to serve everything any sexy way that you want. Have fun (:

I’m not going to say that this is the best way to cook fish, because I’ll probably never find out everything there is to know about fish even if I tried. However, in my experience, simply just pan frying in butter is such a good way to go. when/if you go ahead and make this…

Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict

January 23, 2016 by Nicolas 19 Comments

A photo of someone spooning hollandaise sauce on top of a poached egg.

French baguette instead of an English muffin, and smoked salmon instead of ham. This is some next level eggs Benedict action going right here. Why change the classic? To inspire some creativity. I want this blog to be about easy and quick recipes, but I also want to incorporate recipes that aren’t necessarily difficult, but…

Mojito

January 17, 2016 by Nicolas 5 Comments

A photo of 2 mojitos served on a sushi platter.

I think a mojito, being one of the lighter cocktails is my favourite so far. Although I do believe I have a fair bit of knowledge and “palate maturing” to gain when it comes to the world of mixology. My biggest challenge for making a recipe for the Mojito was that I saw sooooo many…

Margarita

September 24, 2015 by Nicolas 1 Comment

My first Cocktail for this website!So since it is my first time playing around and researching for my mixology journey, I decided to keep this Margarita recipe classic and simple with the Mexican theme. Now in case you don’t know a whole lot about Margaritas, tequila or cocktails. There a couple of things to keep in mind….
