LJ Bistro #8: Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Soft, warm shortbread cookies fresh from the oven are amazing. And they can only taste better with some ground Earl Grey tea leaves added to the mix. We were concerned that 2 tablespoons of tea leaves would overpower the cookie, but it turned out to be the perfect amount. The ground leaves also added mini [...]

I wanted something savory yet light for LJ Bistro #8′s main entree. Something creamy but also a dish that wouldn’t make me feel too guilty when I was stuck bringing in leftovers the next two days. What I wanted was lasagna; cheesy, melted layers of ground beef and pasta sheets soaking in tomato-y marinara sauce. [...]

In case the butter alone in biscuits wasn’t enough to tempt your natural human instinct for fat, try this recipe that also incorporates cheddar cheese into the warm fluffy buttermilk biscuits. Created to imitate the complimentary Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, this homemade version tastes less buttery but just as delicious (and less butter = [...]

Hong Kong made me lazy and fat. My 10 days vacation was filled with unrestrained eating and picture-taking of the food I ate. There were days where I had 6-7 full meals, mostly consisting of multiple breakfasts and late night binging. While the food there isn’t mainland cheap (and definitely not the nightlife), the exchange [...]

What made this simple salt and pepper steak taste so damn good was the substitution of duck fat for butter. Yes, you heard me right. Duck fat. I grilled the sirloin over the stovetop in duck fat and then shamelessly drenched the meat in rich, buttery duck fat garlic sauce. Absolutely fantastic. Of course, one [...]

The onset of cold weather has always been an excuse for me to work out less and eat hot, creamy, heavier foods. It’s a terrible combination that’s just become a fact of life year after year. I guess it doesn’t help that I recently quit my Crunch gym membership in lieu of a membership in [...]

I had always used the words sweet potato and yam interchangeably. It wasn’t until recently that I learned the difference. Here in the US, we are more accustomed to the yellow orange “sweet potato” with the pale yellow flesh. There is also the darker-skinned “sweet potato” with a sweeter, orange flesh. (This was the kind [...]

As much as I love to cook for people, it’s also awesome when the person you love also loves to cook. =D While eating is a much valued experience, collaborating together in the kitchen to create that meal is an adventure in itself. It sure makes those 3 course meals less stressful to prepare! Hats [...]

Potatoes are one of the ultimate comfort foods, especially when smothered with creamy cheese sauce and baked to tender perfection. I’m also amazed with the versatility of the Panko bread crumbs purchased at Asian Food Grocer a while back with the $25 credit provided by the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. Excellent website for all your Asian [...]
