Mini Tarts
Fill the tart crust with filling either with piping bag or spoon. Decorate as your heart takes you. It’s so FUN! My personal favorite: Matcha with White Chocolate, and Salted Caramel, YUM! A variation to the shortbread crust is the traditional sugar pastry crust, or Pate Sucree. They are a bit crispier than the shortbread crust and less crumblier. Both are very buttery and tasty. It’s a matter of personal taste which is better.

Homemade English Muffin
Homemade English Muffin Never thought I could make English Muffin at home! I bought English Muffin almost every week for breakfast, now, guess what, I can make them myself and they are far better than the store bought ones! Dough is very soft, but since I used oil spray liberally, it didn’t stick to my fingers too much. Form them into balls and cover both sides with cornmeal. When moving to cast iron pan, use 2 spatulas to avoid sticking to fingers. Cook till both sides are golden brown.

Sous Vide Chuck Roast
Sous Vide Chuck Roast Amazingly, Sous Vide turned a $5 cut to a $10+ steak. Sous Vide Chuck Roast, if handled patiently and properly, tastes juicy, tender, has some chew to it yet not tough at all. The marbled nature of chuck also brings in lots of flavor. It takes between 24-30 hours to sous vide, but that’s done while you are doing something else. The final finishing only takes 15 minutes. Perfect for a weekday dinner while you do all the prep over the weekend. Pair with ultra crispy roast potato, and garlic green bean, what a great dinner!

Sous Vide Fried Chicken
Sous Vide Fried Chicken Sous Vide is the best way to make fried chicken. It was frustrating to fry chicken for what I thought was a long time, but only to find it was completely pink inside. Even though it seems to take quite some time to sous vide, it’s mostly inactive time. I also found today that I can remote control my Sous Vide Circulator! When the cooking cycle completes, chicken was done with tender and juicy inside. The frying time is only to cook the coating and make it as crispy as I would like. Overall, I felt it takes less time for me to make the dish,…
