Calamansi Crush

By Kitchyart on 6 June, 2015

It seems like summer isn’t going anywhere; like temperatures are rising each day.

I did some work in the kitchen today and all I could think about were ways to quench one’s thirst in these conditions.

This isn’t rocket science, but I found some calamansi sorbet and a bottle of gin in the house so I thought it would work well together. The key here is to exert minimal effort and produce immediate satisfaction, this did the trick!

After half a shot of gin, I’m already tucked in bed. How is everybody keeping cool these days?

LABELS: Calamansi, Gin, Kitchyart

Kitchen Triumph: Carbonara

By Kitchyart on 25 April, 2017

Carbonara is so simple yet so easy to mess up. I’ve played around with different recipes and seen many video tutorials online. Most recipes call to add the cheese/egg mixture into the hot pan; and this is when it gets very tricky— I usually end up with a dish that looks like scrambled egg pasta …read »

Beer Pickled Santol

By Anonymous Paul on 4 July, 2016

Santol is in season. Over the years I’ve adapted the buro recipe I’ve made for green mangoes I posted earlier here for when there’s abundance of santol. And I must say I like using this fruit more now than mangoes for preserving. It produces this unique, almost meaty texture and floral flavor. Sweet, sour, a …read »

For the past month, I have been on the Paleo Diet as a way to detox and reboot. I decided to try Paleo Manila, a food delivery service that specializes in the above. I am given three meals and two snacks daily. I am quite satisfied with the food so far as I was not …read »

Easy Indoor S’mores

By Anonymous Paul on 12 October, 2015

I was at a dinner party with friends the other night and I said I would contribute dessert. It was the perfect opportunity to experiment on them a food hack I had seen on the interwebs recently for oven baked S’mores. It’s so easy but the results can make anyone look like a pro. All …read »

The Magic of Ginisa

By Anonymous Paul on 1 September, 2015

I grew up with an Ilongga yaya cooking meals for us. And there was always this chicken dish that she cooked that I liked and never really bothered to find out the name till recently. She had left when I was in my teens and only recently gotten to try this dish again when it …read »

Steamed Pompano

By Anonymous Paul on 13 January, 2015

Here it is. The requisite healthy food post after all those bingefests over the holidays. Quite quick and simple to do; but freshness of the fish is crucial. Truth be told, I probably love fish except dory more than beef. Is that shocking? So this dish really requires no sacrifice for me at all to …read »

Merry Cheesemax: Adult Brie Pop Tarts

By Kitchyart on 22 December, 2014

Christmas is definitely in the air. The weather is cooler and melty cheese is just perfect for the holidays. As I was running some kitchen errands, I found some square cuts of puff pastry at the frozen section in the grocery and a baby wheel of Brie. The idea is similar to a whole wheel …read »

Bath and Breakfast

By Kitchyart on 18 August, 2014

I went on holiday for a couple of weeks and since I got back, my body clock is still stuck in another time zone. My mind is possibly still in holiday mode but I slowly have to get back into my daily routine. The good part of waking up extremely early these days is that …read »

Cold Brewing Coffee at Home

By Anonymous Paul on 31 July, 2014

Still on the subject of coffee: I recently experimented with cold brewing at home. It sounds so technical but it just really means steeping coffee in room temperature water. As opposed to, obviously, using hot water. There are differences in the final product besides temperature. Heat tends to bring out the acidity of the beans …read »

Twix Trickery

By Kitchyart on 28 May, 2014

I don’t want to blame the muggy weather, this could just be pure gluttony that I’ve been craving a lot of sweets lately. I’ve cleaned out the snack stash in my bedroom (by eating it all up) and have been struggling to keep myself from buying more snacks in the grocery. After watching a few …read »

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to contribute a recipe, this very same one (not so anonymously), for an impressive new magazine called Grid. A travel periodical which focuses on the Philippines and Filipino travelers. With such beautifully shot and curated photographs along with in-depth and insightful content, I find myself really humbled …read »

Pass the Peanuts, Please!

By Anonymous Paul on 7 March, 2014

I was recently gifted with literal basket-loads of food. Several clusters of green plantains, kilos of Taiwanese yellow sweet potatoes and bags of just harvested peanuts. Huge, fat ones; the soil attached to them still moist. I guess seeing the peanuts got me excited the most. I usually have these with a cold drink in …read »

When Recipes Fail

By Kitchyart on 18 October, 2013

Maybe not all of you believe it but when Mercury is in retrograde, a lot of strange things happen. It usually affects all forms of communication; not just gadget related but even human contact. I had a number of photos and notes saved in my phone for new topics to write about but my phone …read »
