Chinese Stinky TofuMy grandfather’s kitchen is a small but warm place where I spent almost twenty years. The inner satisfaction and happiness I have got cannot be weighed in the scale of universal equivalence.What I spend there is not a time of life. It is a state of mind, the spirit of martyr that I am constantly seeking for.The stinky Tofu added… |

Piccalilli RelishThe final harvest of green tomatoes I relegated to a batch of Piccalilli, a relish of East Indian origin. Just can't get enough of that lightly pungent and savory condiment....and it’s way easy to make using a food processor for most of the chopping tasks. Make a batch of this to give as holiday gifts, and to enjoy yourself through… |

Brown Sauce with meatballsThere is only one reason why I wish to be a good chef: the determination of being a culinary martyr out of real ardent love. Like the lonely old man in my poem who walks along the silent street immersed in the dark night, despite of the sand storms and the agony loneliness trying to swallow him up, he keeps smiling and never loses his… |

Chinese Dragon ChickenFor me, Cooking is also such a dialogue. The sincere gratitude for life ,admiration for nature , the passion for cooking—all of these are productions of the dialogue. What I will spend in writing is not a time of life. It’s the development of my thinking ego showing great intellect in thinking, with resolute willing and sensible… |

German Rouladen (beef rolls )I love German food !! This is time consuming to make and you will be in the kitchen for quite a while. So it is a great rainy day dish. Prep time for me is about 1 1/2 to 2hr and I am a Chef. The first time I did this about 20 years ago it took me 6 hr. to get it all done. That is cooking time also and it was at home. Spend the time… |

Short Rib's My WayI love short ribs but every where I go they cook them to death !! For some reason all places and Chefs like to braise them for hours in all types of heavy sauces. I think that this is one of the best cuts of meat and has the flavor of a great ribeye. The down side is that they are hard to get right. You need to have them at room… |

Southwestern Mac & CheeseSouthwestern Mac & Cheese, we have to laugh, of all the recipes we get asked for from gourmet to down home, what we get the most requests for is macaroni and cheese. Our date night was coming up so I asked Ken what he was in the mood for thinking he would say steak or ribs. Nope, he wanted a creamy mac & cheese with a little flavor… |

We’ve stuffed both sweet and jalapeno peppers with all kinds of fillings. Of course, they’re always wrapped with bacon. This time Patti stuffed pretty, sweet peppers with fake crab (aka Surimi, but you can use real… |

Pastrami SubsPastrami Subs Go Tailgating, we love the pepper crust and they were so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring? We took a corned beef brisket and did a heavy pepper crust then smoked it for 6 hours. When you smoke corned beef you’re making Pastrami and it’s good just on your plate or thin sliced for subs. Patti likes to… |

Lotta Cheese Cheese BurgerWe got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only was there 2… |
