The Wandering Eater

Interior of Porchetta…sort of
Probably you’ve read enough food blog posts about Porchetta that your sick about reading it. Well, I’m one of those pesky bloggers who would jump ship to try something relatively new. I’m not saying I’m trying everything new for the sake of being “hip” but more of the idea of loving [...]

As promised from the previous post, here’s the recipe for my mom’s chocolate cake. It’s decadent, chocolate-y and nutty from the use of almond flour. Again, I had to make my own almond flour since the grocery stores I shop in don’t carry it. The other changes I’ve done was to add on the chocolate [...]

She blew out the candle!
Today’s technically my mom’s birthday. (I’m not going to divulge her age.) We celebrated a bit more than week earlier. “Why?” you ask. Well, her excuse was the fact that last weekend was the Mid-Autumn Festival and we can nosh on moon cakes (I love the lotus seed filled ones [...]

Quite a crowd
Late yesterday afternoon, I went over to Il Buco’s “Sagra del Maiale” in hopes to get my hands on a piece of the 200 lb Ossabaw pig that’s slowly roasted between two large iron griddles with wood fire above and below. Alas, I came in late at 5 PM that all that [...]

I remember reading from NY Magazine’s review about Kefi and put their name on my lengthy “Must Try” restaurants list.

I would like to thank all of you who’ve wished my mom and family well. It’s greatly appreciated and my mom’s ok for now but still a little shaky with uncertainty of what’s going to happen. We’re waiting on the testing results and what they doctors suggest as we go along. If you’re wondering [...]

Hi Everyone!
I know I owe you guys a post of some sort to show that you I’m still alive, breathing and eating.
I went to Kefi two Fridays ago (or was it three?) and baked a few things for my mom last weekend. (If you’ve seen the photos on my Flickr photostream, you know.) Also the [...]

I finally ate here
For several years, I’ve been dying to go to Casa Mono just because I read about their tasty tapas in a publication (I think it was The New York Times?) that extolled the food. Also hearing it from several foodies helps build my excitement to eat there as well. But I haven’t [...]

I might as well give ya the recipes for the cake and the profiteroles from the previous post since I know I’m killing you with the food porn. As for an actual fooding post, please wait a day or two…
Caaaake…
