By Kooksfood
11/19/11 15:59
Burrata cheese is SO good it doesn’t need much, so this is less a recipe and more a PSA. IF you haven’t tried Burrata go and get some. If you’re in Dubai… the farmer’s market (Saturday’s at Garden Center) now sells freshly made burrata. (Thanks Foodiva...

Spicy mayo prawns (inspired by wasabi prawns)
By Kooksfood
11/11/11 19:13
I think I’ve probably mentioned a couple of times now that I love wasabi prawns and all the variations of it. Caramel in Dubai does TNT Shrimp, Nobu does Spicy Creamy Prawns and this is a version that takes from all of them. I can’t actually explain how...

Now obviously you can use spaghetti or really any pasta you want with the sauce but I said Penne because I want to indicate up front that this is not a traditional bolognaise but rather my version of one. It’s not drastically different but there are a few...

I don’t really have much of a sweet tooth and while I do adore the taste of chocolate, I’m no fiend and I rarely crave it. Although, chocolate and peanut butter OR chocolate and chili are good ways to get on my good side! :-p However, lately I have felt...

By Kooksfood
09/25/11 16:03
So… first off why am I a bad blogger? Well because sometimes my own food makes me so hungry I can’t be fussed with taking photos. In fact that’s usually the case! :-s. Blame my demanding taste-buds and time-pressed schedule. But I also know photos really...
