#COOKING: PAD THAI RECIPE
Pad Thai. Who doesn’t love Pad Thai? You can actually make this at home rather easily. I don’t love Bean Sprouts, hence I didn’t include them in my version, but if you do like them, you can add in 1-2 cups. You can substitute shrimp for chicken breast or thigh pieces. And I get some people just don’t do Shrimp Paste and Fish Sauce as they are pungent, but truly you’re not a fan of Pad Thai if you don’t enjoy those essential notes which make it authentic.

#COOKING: FUNFETTI CORNFLAKE CRUNCH COOKIES RECIPE
Funfetti Cornflake Crunch Cookies. Okay, full disclosure, these are very similar to those amazing cookies you find at Momofuku's Milk Bar, but we've added a Funfetti twist to it, because if you're pulling out all the stops already and going over-the-top, you might as well go all the way! As usual, I reduce the sugar because the originals are way sweet and nobody has any business eating that much sugar.
Ingredients:
5 cups Corn Flakes 2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter at room ...

#COOKING: FRESH MOZZARELLA, RICOTTA & KIMCHI-STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS RECIPE
Mozzarella, Ricotta & Kimchi-Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms. These are all the rage right now with Zucchini Blossoms being available right now, through end of August. We made the best of our trip downtown with a visit to our fave Eataly, where we found everything we needed to make these. We love the combination of cheese and Kimchi (Korean Pickled Cabbage) as these flavours blend beautifully. You can do this without Kimchi, just add a bit of sea salt to the filling to taste to account for ...

#COOKING: FEAST FOR A KING | BLUEBERRY TIRAMISU RECIPE
Feast for a King. We've been on our best behaviour and it's time for a feast! This combines all our favourites, Rib Steak, Sushi, Jumbo U.S. Spot Prawns and of course Uni (Sea Urchin), which is only available at points in the year at your local seafood market. We were so lucky to come across some so we thought we'd splurge a little! Incredibly creamy and umami, Uni might be an acquired taste for some, but it is the most amazing thing we've ever tasted. This feast is simple, sophisticated ...

#COOKING: MAGNOLIA BAKERY-ESQUE BANANA PUDDING RECIPE
Magnolia Bakery-esque Banana Pudding Recipe. If you've ever been to New York City, surely you've made time to have a cupcake or a slice of cake at this famed bakery. But their Banana Pudding is revered and we love that THE GIRL WHO ATE EVERYTHING gave it a crack deciphering their recipe! We loved it but made some modifications to fit our palate. This is an awesome treat for a cool day. It's like a Banana Pudding-meets-de-constructed Banana Cream Pie. Hope you enjoy our take with even more ...

#COOKING: SXSE CURRY CHICKEN RECIPE
SXSE Curry Chicken. Everyone's got their own recipe for this dish. Here's mine, combining Garam Masala, native to South Indian cuisine x Yellow Curry, found in Southeast Asian cuisine. That being said, this is a mild Curry, but I do like to add a kick to it. This, plus an added twist of air-fried sweet potatoes to sop-up that delicious sauce. Coconut milk is a must as my mom taught me young!
Ingredients:
3-4 large chicken legs with thighs, chopped into thirds
1 can coconut milk
1 large ...
