Peanut Sauce
I use this sauce for so much! I thought I’d make a post just for this as it is the basis for so many of my dishes. Its super easy to throw together and works just as well for stir frys and marinades as it does for a salad dressing. It is also a favourite…

Pork Cheek Tacos
A few years ago when we were in Tokyo, we had this amazing meal of tuna jowl and it was life changing. Still to this day that meal is in my top five – very near the top. I had learned long ago from Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations that the cheeks were the best…
