About me
BONJOUR tout le monde! I love cooking and baking, (obviously since i'm part of this group) I am a college student at Gonzaga University, and my house mates have dubbed me the resident Betty Crocker. If I didn't already love what I am studying now (history & french) I would drop out and go to culinary school! My life goal is to open a bakery someday. I am going to Paris for 10 months this fall to study history at the Sorbonne --if i can get an apprenticeship to a French baker I would pee my pants. For serious. I especially love baking, even though i can't eat most of what i eat because im allergic to wheat, but Giada, Ina, and Michael Chiarello, and Clotilde are my culinary heroes, and i strongly believe that salt and lemon zest can make everything better! Even term papers on pre-modern Vietnamese coastal trade! And I am currently in the process of creating a cookbook all about Beets. AKA "The Beet Book" look for it to hit shelves in September.. haha. I wish.

Just wanted to say hello! :)


Hey just wanted to let you know there is some new activity on the fuel for runners group! M


Oh lord, i've not come in for ages, and am sorry i've not responded to your question regarding my frittata post. Anyhoo..
Galangal : similar to its cousin, ginger, the galangal appears to be larger and pale in color, its highly aromatic and has a more delicate flavor than the ginger, with a sweetish taste. I hope you find this at your local Asian market, usually packed in a steroform pack. Use sparingly as they may taste quite medicinal.
Belacan powder : Also known as shrimp paste powder. Look at the dry good section where they sells packets of prepared instant sauces. It comes in a plastic baggie, with small cubed blocks and its labeled as "Belacan". You'd bring them home and pound them into powder form before cooking. Also, they do come in a paper wrapped square block (usually wrapped in white colored paper), and you would cut into desired pieces before you use them. I prefer the prior form -small wrapped cubes in a plastic baggie (prolly have some 12 small cubes).
Hope this helps, cheers !:)


We do cod with a pineapple and coconut mild reduction. It is finished with chives and served over rice.

Glad you liked the scallops. Like you discovered, the sauce is pretty versatile with different types of seafood. Try it with fresh halibut or wild salmon.


Thanks for the compliments on the blog! I do pay for the hosting, but the Wordpress platform is opensource, aka free. You just need the proper webspace to install it to. I know a lot of food bloggers use Blogger - it's a pretty good place to start out.
