Lucky Masala Meat Masala
I do love South Asian curries. However, I don’t make them every day and the recipes usually call for herbs and spices I don’t normally make. What to do, what to do? Continue reading Lucky Masala Meat Masala
Back (Canadian) Bacon – Wet Cure Method
Most commercial bacon is made with a brine that is injected into pork. I prefer dry cured bacon. It is a little firmer and cooks up with a better texture in my opinion. That being said, my preference is based on personal choice. Many people prefer the softer wet cure bacon. They are not wrong, they just prefer the texture and taste.

Sweet and Sour Pork
I really like Sweet and Sour Pork. I know it isn’t really Chinese Food and was made for our western palates but I really like it. It comes with a nice fried coating in Chinese restaurants. That coating may be what we’re used to but it makes a mess when you do it at home and fat frying the pork first isn’t really very good for you. Continue reading Sweet and Sour Pork
Rib Tips – Koss Sauce
I love rib tips and make them as an appetizer often. I had guests coming over, I had rib trimmings and I had my favourite barbecue sauce, Koss Sauce. Everything was coming together. Continue reading Rib Tips – Koss Sauce
