Garlickety Roast! 🧄

Yum!!

Ready the garlic! Keep skin on, but of course peel off some if it's dirty.

Slice the top portion of the garlic head.

Place garlic heads on aluminum wrap.

Slather each head with oil, salt, pepper.

Seal the wrap.

Toast / bake for 30mins at 200°C.

Remove from the oven and unseal the wrap (careful, its hot!).

Let cool, until able to handle the garlic, or opt to use kitchen gloves.

Squeeze out gently the garlic from the skin. When toasted well, it should fall out easily.

Catch onto a mixing bowl. Squish and mash with a fork, and mix with melted butter, and other preferred herbs.

And that's it, this garlic butter mix is ready for some serious yummy slatherin'.

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two: 1. Ratatouille (2007) Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance. Their circumstances take them to a partnership they never imagined to reach for their dreams! This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2. Chef (2014) This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's pr...
