Basic Chimichurri

I love my steak as basic as possible. Just some salt and freshly cracked black pepper and pan sear it to perfection. I don’t like to marinate my steak, cause I want to taste the meat as much as possible. Then I eat my own words after I discovered about chimichurri sauce. I first had […]

Basic Vinaigrette

I didn’t like salad as much, maybe because my mom never made it. I didn’t like veggies at all. I used to be bribed by my mom so I would eat some veggies, those were the days when I got paid doing one thing, eating. In Indonesia, there are some type of salad called gado-gado, […]

Creamy Chicken Florentine

Taco Casserole

This recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Jayde, who is always so busy so she needs a quick recipe while maintaining all the necessary nutrients. I don’t know much about nutrients, but I know meat is source of proteins, veggies are source of vitamins and beans and corns are source of fibers. A little […]
