Behavioural science research continues to be slow, so I've been doing some more delicious research. I was watching My Greatest Dishes, a show where top British chefs share 4 of their signature dishes. One recipe, by Michael Roux Jr., really resonated with me- his signature chicken liver parfait with hollandaise. I just HAD to give … Continue reading Beef Liver Parfait with Mustard Cream Sauce
Hi! I'm back earlier than usual, but since research has been a bit slow (no more math courses to blame), I've gotten busy in the kitchen! I LOVE liver. It gets a bad rap, but it really doesn't deserve so much hate. It's versatile, cheap and incredibly nutritious. A mere 3oz serving has 23g of … Continue reading Liver Pate with (Keto) Soda Bread
Hi! I'm a day late, but better late than never right. While I usually try to keep things healthy, I definitely like to venture into the more sinful side once in a while. Fried pork chop is one of those universally loved dishes. Fatty, crispy, easy and cheap- what's not to love! (Don't worry, I'll … Continue reading Pan- Fried Pork Chop
Hi!!! As of yesterday, I am 20!!!! What does that mean? Celebration of course! Even better, my family and our close friends are all fully vaccinated so no excuse NOT to go out.

... that's right, after three finals the semester is OVER. I must say, it passed a lot quicker and smoother than expected. I thought I'd do a little reflection. I got lucky again- My professors this semester were AMAZING. Thanks to them, the semester went very smoothly. Special shoutout to my maths prof. I was … Continue reading I’m DONE!! Reflections on Another Remote Semester
Hi!! I know I've been MIA. It isn't math this time (Final isn't until next week 😉 ). It's the end of the semester so the OTHER courses have projects to wrap up.... As usual, when things get busy, it's convenience > creativity -> no recipe. BUT, I do get creative thinking of ways to … Continue reading 4 More Kitchen Hacks!!
As promised, I'm back with a recipe and this one is very special. I've been wanting to try this one out for YEARS, and finally decided to give it a try. Wait.. roasted bone marrow? Where did I get bone marrow from? Does it even taste good? What's the twist?To answer the first question, marrow … Continue reading Recipe Post: Roasted Bone Marrow- with a twist
Hi! Life has been pretty busy these past weeks. Turns out, classes have 2 "midterms"..... so... lots of studying. Unfortunately, more studying = less cooking, so it's another rant/reflection post. I promise I'll be back with a recipe post next week!! Also, as the title suggest this post is NSFV ( not safe for vegans … Continue reading Laws of Meat
Hi! This week's post is a bit different (and fun)! There are countless articles on how to be a "better" cook, so I thought I'd come up with something a bit different. Enjoy! FYI: Many of these habits are from personal experience. The rest are from Kitchen Nightmares 😉 Making a Mess- Walk into any … Continue reading 5 Habits of Highly (In)effective Cooks
Hi! It's been a while. My convenient excuse this time is midterm, and an intro to pure maths class that's really kicking my butt. I spent most of winter break studying for it, attend office hours and supplemental instruction AND am still struggling. Needless to say, real analysis is not happening anytime soon. Aside from … Continue reading Recipe Post: Hearty Seafood Stew
