While bread making has been all the rage this year, one staple food that has not received as much love is the fresh homemade noodle. That's right. The fan’s favorite that many just can’t seem to get enough whether it is the smooth and silken wheat noodle or the chewy ramen noodle.

The best kind of snacks are usually the salty ones and this subtle marbling of short rib is the perfect vehicle to create a taste-bud bedazzling beef jerky that will keep you coming for more. Inspired by Ninja Air Fryer original beef jerky recipe, this reduced sodium version (let's be cognizant of our blood pressure here) is effortless in execution. The marinade should thoroughly coat each thinly slice of beef and impart a well balanced flavor profile.

Sharing another of my favorite Thai street food dish recipe and also pescatarian friendly, the crispy and savory pancake in a skillet boasts wholesome mix seafood and a unique batter which has a mochi like inner texture and a crispy outer bite. ​

Inspired by one of my favorite childhood dim sum tofu pudding dessert, "Tau Huay", this refreshing gingery soy iced latte recreates the traditional flavor with an uplifting twist of salted whipped cream topping. The salted whipped cream adds another dimension by contrasting the sweetness of the ginger soy base and enhancing the richness of the beverage.

The salty scent of the sea, the gentle breeze caressing your cheeks, a melody created by an orchestra of sea gulls complimenting the visuals of the endless beautiful turquoise waves spreading cross the white sparkling sand and reflecting against the bright sun. Fantasizing of the Mediterranean summer brings me fond memories of my Euro-trips which brought many food discoveries and new found appreciation for European food.  One of my favorite romantic seaside delicacies discovered is the "Moules Marinières" or Sailor Style Mussels.

​With covid-19 in the picture, traveling is out of the window. However, the aromas of this recipe will bring you straight to the Mediterranean coast without leaving the house. This dish is perfect for a date night or if you just want to treat yourself. A play on the classic Moules Marinières, this recipe has a kick of red pepper flakes and Japanese sake for a spicy but mellow umami touch.
