I most probably don’t need another cookbook because I already have a lot of those sitting in my baker’s rack but I’m always open to buying a new one that I think is interesting enough and will teach me new recipes and tricks in the kitchen. I saw this 4-Hour Chef book from Tim Ferriss blog and it sure caught my attention.
4-Hour Chef could actually be the 2nd installment of Tim Ferriss’ book 4-...

What exactly is a Scampi? According to Seaffod Experts website;
Scampi is a type of lobster and is one of the world’s finest delicacies. There are, however, other species frequently referred to as scampi. For example, in the Midwest region of the US freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) are referred to as scampi. So again, what exactly is scampi?
Is scampi a crawfish? Is scampi a crayfish? No, scampi are small clawed lobsters that unfortunately look a little bit like a crawfish. But they definitely shouldn’t be confused with the freshwater crawfish, which is primarily from the Gulf of Mexico and China. Crayfish is another name used for spiny lobster, and if that’s not confusing enough, in the southern US crawfish is called crayfish!.
“Scampi” is actually the tail of the “Nephrops Norvegicus” which is more commonly known as the Norway Lobster, Dublin Bay Prawn (although its not a prawn!) or langoustine. According to Wikipedia, the Nephrops Norvegicus is an orange pink lobster that grows up to 25cm in length and is typically found in the North East Atlantic, the North Sea and parts of the Med.
In short, Scampi is not how the dish is cooked, it’s actually a small clawed lobster that looks like a crayfish. But I bet you when you hear the word scampi you’d think of shrimps cooked in butter, white wine, lemon juice, with some sort of pasta, either spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine noodles. Now that you know what a Scampi really is coz it certainly doesn’t hurt to know food trivia sometimes, let’s cook shrimp scampi with fettuccine coz that’s what we’re familiar with.

Spring and Summer are fast approaching. Wouldn’t it be great to go on a picnic with the family or a picnic date for 2? My sister-in-law mentioned something about going on a date with her husband the other night and my husband said he couldn’t remember the last time he and I had our own date night without the kids. I couldn’t either.
I would love for ...

The infomercial and packaging both said that Yoshi Blake Knife is The World’s Best Ceramic Knife. It’s the only ceramic knife I own (thanks to my husband) so I wouldn’t be able to compare it with the other ceramic knives out there. But let me tell yah, Yoshi Blade is pretty damn sharp.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, you should be thinking about how you’re going to cook the turkey this year. I myself haven’t decided whether I want to roast or deep-fry our turkey. Either way, it’s a good thing I have what I need to cook the bird whichever way I decide to do it...
What? Tacos without refried beans? Well, I realized I didn’t have any refried beans from the pantry half-way into cooking the ground beef. I’ve already made the guacamole and pico de gallo so I couldn’t change the dinner plan anymore. I figured we’d just do without refried beans. Of course, the first thing my husband noticed when it was time to eat was the missing refried beans.

Many months ago, I bought a jar of pickled ginger at the Oriental Store in Raleigh. What for? Well, if you eat sushi then you know that pickled ginger are served on the side. I make my own sushi rolls sometimes so I figured I’d copy the Hibachi restaurants by having pickled ginger on the side as well. Just because they’re home-made sushi, doesn’t mean they can’t be Hibachi restaurant-worthy.
