Dinner in Thailand

This was my typical family dinner in Thailand, simple ingredients flavored with multiple spices and herbs. At every meal, plain white rice acted as a vehicle for the side dishes of fish, meat and/or organ meats. Oh how my trip ended way too soon.

Korean Style Short Ribs.

It's quite interesting how many different cultures, out of necessity, treat the same type of meat so differently. Take the short ribs for example, most of us have only eaten the usual Western style where the meat comes in large chunks that requires low and slow cooking. The Asian style short ribs on the other hand are cut very thin and as a result require high heat and quick cooking. Since many Asian cultures only use chopsticks, spoon, and a fork to eat, how meats and vegetables are cut is very important.

Black Garlic

I'm extremely excited to try different uses of this rich, fermented bulb. The bulbs smell smoked, the cloves are completely black and the flavor is out of control good. I'll describe it as savory garlic candy. Full of molasses tones, sweet and smoky, let the creativity begin...

Times Square at Night

Being from north of Boston I do have an aversion to most things New York, mainly sports teams but there really is nothing like Times Square at night.
