Oat Bran and Honey Cookies
I know, it’s been a looong while since I posted anything. Sorry!
So I’m getting back in the game with a delicious little cookie that’s perfect with some tea or coffee. The recipe originally calls for wheat germ, but I read a post by another blogger who substituted oat bran instead. Since I had [...]
Slow-roasted Spiced Pork Belly
The next few posts are going to be from the backlog, since there are several posts I’ve been meaning to make. The following dish I’ve made twice, and it’s turned out pretty good both times.
Pork belly is a cut of meat that’s not often used directly in Western cooking, though it’s the cut that’s used [...]
Risotto, the food of the gods
In which I have a food-related epiphany. (Hint: it’s about risotto, and its amazingness.)

I also don’t know how Amy Adams had time to fall asleep, because there [...]

Café Zuni chicken dinner and poached pears
The other day I made my very first “real” chicken dinner. I had been meaning to try this recipe for roast chicken, but I didn’t want it to suck and then leave my three roommates hungry. They’re all back in snowy Virginia now, so I thought it would be a good time to try.
The recipe [...]
Merry Christmas cookies
Christmas (and Hanukkah) cookies! I might have gone a bit overboard with the dinosaur cookie cutter.
Dark chocolate-dipped hazelnut macaroons and baking disasters
So one of the problems with “I Know How to Cook” is that it is a translation, and like any translation, it is imperfect. Normally when cooking small mistakes are alright, but baking is difficult enough as it is without linguistic ambiguity making it harder. =\ The recipe below is the how I now [...]
