    Sticky Honey + Hoisin Lacquered Ribs

    2019-06-18 /

    This recipe is simple yet packed with big flavors. But before you jump feet first into this recipe, I feel compelled to share that making these Sticky Honey + Hoisin Lacquered Ribs is a two-step process. This cooking process will result in fall-off-the-bone-tender ribs through braising and then coating them in a deep + dark amber lacquer.  Once they’re done, you’ll want to suck these babies all the way down to the bone. But these aren’t just any ordinary BBQ ribs. Oh, no. These are ribs with a Chinese flavor twist.  Yessiree, a fusion of flavors that is so.damn.good you’ll be licking that sticky coating off your lips and fingers…

You know how I feel about eating with the eyes! It is by far one of my favorite dishes to prepare when I entertain at home. Because it makes such a vast amount, I usually reserve this recipe for a group gathering. Interest is piqued the moment guests walk through the door, as the aromas wafting from the pot are reminiscent of a South American spice stall. Passing the condiments lets guests decorate their bowls as they wish, all the while stimulating great conversation.  Pozole, which…

    Caribbean Poutine (aka Dirty Tots)

    2018-10-16 /

    This dirty dish was inspired by a visit to the Somewhere Cafe on Turks & Caicos. When we got to the beach side restaurant, we were famished. We had been shopping, sunning, swimming—you know, exhausting vacation stuff. Our adorable waiter recommended the Dirty Fries—fries piled high with layers of cheese and pulled pork and then slathered in barbeque sauce.  I remember how we ooohed and aaahed with every bite we took. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them ever since! Although TCI is north of the Caribbean Sea, I suppose I could refer to these fries as Caribbean poutine. They are not exactly like the poutines that originated in…
