Land of Plenty: Steamed Pork Buns

October 26, 2009

I am definitely guilty of taking on more projects than I actually have the time to complete. You may have noticed I am constantly coming up with new ideas for a food series, which is my way of holding myself accountable when I want to learn something new. Hence, the Atlanta Pizza Days, the Bon [...]

Land of Plenty – Cold Szechuan Chicken, Hot and Numbing Dried Beef, and Lotus Root

August 6, 2009

It’s been a month since my last post (Red Braised Beef) in my effort to cook my way through the Land of Plenty cookbook, but I’ve been crazy busy between work and travel. I had an amazing trip to Napa/Sonoma, and tonight I head out to Washington State for 10 days of hiking around Olympic, [...]

Land of Plenty – Red Braised Beef

July 5, 2009

Today I have a quick post in the Land of Plenty series – Red Braised Beef. I’ve been looking for an excuse to cook some short ribs since a recent visit to the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market and this recipe was the perfect chance. This recipe is simple, braising short ribs couldn’t be easier.   [...]

Land of Plenty – Challenger #2

June 9, 2009

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Sichuan challenger #1 post, yesterday Ted S. sent me his meal from the Land of Plenty cookbook. It’s very exciting to me to see these results. It can be quite intimidating to source these ingredients and prepare these dishes when you are new to it; I have first hand [...]

This week I received the post and pictures from Sarah E. A guest post where someone cooks something different, using unique ingredients, is very [...]

Rowdy’s Szechuan Southern Fried Chicken

June 4, 2009

I just wanted to share some photos from a recent endeavour. I have work to do, but frying chicken may be my new cooking-at-home project (supplanting pizza for a few weeks). There are also a few other photos I took that day, of my tomato plants and the soup I made to go with the [...]

Land of Plenty – Red-Cooked Pork (Hongshao Rou)

June 3, 2009

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post (dry fried chicken) in the Land of Plenty series, but don’t read into that too much – I’m not giving up. I won’t be traveling as much the next few weeks so I’ll have no excuse for getting more Sichuan done in the kitchen. I [...]

Wan Lai

May 21, 2009

On post #1 on this site, I stated that the intent of this site was to learn, hold myself publicly accountable, and get outside my food comfort zone. But one benefit that I had not planned on is that I’ve met a handful of bonafide foodies who have been kind of enough to guide me [...]
