Jamie’s Whole-roasted Chicken with Homemade Barbecue Sauce by PreeOccupied

The star of this recipe is the barbecue sauce that Jamie quickly puts together. I just copied him using some of my own measurements. Just the sauce is so awesome that it got my taste buds going as it filled my hands and the home with the most fantastic smells.

Fuzzy Fusilli with Barese Sausage

Fuzzy Fusilli with Barese Sausage by PreeOccupied

The box of Fusilli told me to marry it with the Barese sausage I got from St. Lawrence Market. The mixed pitted olives (green and kalamata) and sun-dried tomatoes came in handy too to invoke a whole lot of flavors in my dish.

Bengal’s Own, Alu-Begun-Chingri by PreeOccupied

Though the main ingredients for this recipe are are Potato (Alu), Eggplant/Brinjal (Begun) and Shrimps (Chingri), a whole lot of flavors come from the green chilies you add to it. So this Alu-Begun-Chingri is not really for the faint-hearted.

Strawberry and Almond Clafoutis

Strawberry and Almond Clafoutis by PreeOccupied

Some call this something in between a cake and a custard. I call it a huge baking success. I baked these Strawberry and Almond Clafoutis pronounced (kla-foo-TEE) out of nothing. Okay, not really, because I had all the ingredients at home, so it feels it was not much of a hard work.

Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken by PreeOccupied

Nothing extraordinary about this tandoori chicken, except that I have used a "Chuza" for this recipe. Cornish Hen is what is closely classified as a chuza you can get from a supermarket. Not to mention that this was my first time making a tandoori of a whole cornish hen!
