Sous Vide Chicken

As you can probably tell, I’m still mildly obsessed with my new toy. It’s still early times yet, though, so I’d like to think I’m allowed. The past few months have been a little crazy in terms of work and travel schedules for the bunny and I, and I haven’t been able to spend as much time in the kitchen as I’d have liked, so it’s been really nice to have another excuse to dive back into cooking.

Simple Salmon Supper

I’ve always been a little wary of cooking fish. Most of the time, it’s so delicate, and so incredibly easy to ruin, so I generally leave it to the professionals to handle. Besides, as much as I do enjoy eating fish, it isn’t my favourite meat – I tend to prefer pork (in any form), or a good steak. Keep reading →

Under Pressure

I was back in Singapore over the weekend to attend my big brother’s wedding (congrats again to the happy couple!), and I made a pit stop (or two….) at a new store in town, Tools of the Trade. It’s a retail kitchen megastore opened by Sia Huat (those of you in Singapore might be familiar with the restaurant supply store located on Temple Street in Chinatown) and they sell the same hysteria-inducing variety of kitchenware, only in an (even more) ginormous space that’s nowhere near as cluttered/claustrophobic, and – simply put – feels completely magical.

Happy Birthday :)

Ego Fluffing

I’m probably the least disciplined updater of any website (sort-of-food blog or otherwise) – best illustrated by how pretty much every other post starts off with an apology on my absence and infrequent posts.

Somehow though, w&d managed to catch the eye of the Culinary Arts College blog, and I’ve had the completely undeserved honour of making their list of 50 Amazing Food & Travel Blogs. What’s even more flattering is the company I keep on that list (notable sites I personally adore and read religiously like The Traveler’s Lunchbox, Serious Eats, Chubby Hubby, Cafe Fernando, and Delicious Days (alongside many others). And it was indeed a delicious surprise when Cindy emailed to let me know that they had so kindly selected w&d for inclusion on this list.

So thank you, Cindy, and to the other 3 of you who continue to read this space in spite of how terribly I neglect you all. If you could see me you’d know I’m walking with my chest puffed out a little more and a silly grin on my face, looking altogether quite ridiculous. :) I really appreciate it!
