Day Q-23. Thanks for all the nice words in various places that I’ve posted recipes and pictures, and the emails. It means a lot to keep in touch and to know that people are not just enjoying the posts, but actually trying out some of the recipes. And yes, I’d be delighted to share how… Read More The ManteQa Bread
We begin week 4 in quarantine. What is there to say about it that hasn’t been said already, by those both wiser and unwiser than I? Scattered among the various recipes I’ve been giving you over the last weeks have been those days where I just look at the produce in the refrigerator or on… Read More Qleaning Out the Fridge
Day 21 of social isolation… I would not make a good prisoner. I mean, I’m introverted and all that, and for the first two weeks, I was more or less in my element, albeit having to deal with a spouse who’s the complete opposite and has been bouncing off the walls stir-crazy since, more or… Read More The Qimchi Pancake

It doesn’t mean he still won’t, he’s had a habit during the few months so… Read More A ClassiQ! Liver & Onions

He’s already announced as of last night that our borders are… Read More Qauliflower, in Two Passes
As promised in the previous post, a step-by-step for Arroz con Frutos del Mar, or Rice with Fruits of the Sea. This is not 100% the traditional way that the more classic arroz con mariscos, a common Peruvian dish. I’ll point out the differences as we go – much of it simply because of what’s available in our… Read More Fruits of the Sea Q Rice
