Just discovered this fantastic blog! It makes up for my Gourmet subscription that the publisher cancelled.
I love fish sauce but didn’t think of putting it in burgers.
But I have been using anchovy paste as a stealth ingredient in all sorts of other dishes, so now I know I’m on the right track.

Very tasty looking gratin dauphinois. This is a dish that we have to have at our house too, although I’m the only one in the family who knows how easy it is. I too always rub the dish with garlic and use sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
But I haven’t tried cracking the cream crust. It never caused me a problem before, but I’ll try it and see how it makes a difference.

I just lately started eating brussel sprouts and didn’t know what I was missing. They are delicious! Your recipe looks great, especially with the bacon and mushrooms. Thanks for a great recipe!

You seem to have had a wonderful time. I was under the impression that the fruit plant in the first picture is actually an ornamental plant related to the banana family and not a “real” banana tree. Hm…..

Looks great! I love that ingredients are simple and few but add a huge punch of flavor. Just lovely!

Coincidence? We were actually going to try Michael Symon’s fried brussel sprouts recipe last night but after picking up the rest of the necessary ingredients we realized that our sprouts had gone nasty. Turns out, you can’t hold on to brussel sprouts for two weeks before cooking them. These look really really good, by the way.

OH MY is right! Yowzah. I may have to arrange a get together in order to have an excuse to make these, instead of the other way around! Wow. Brilliant!

I love brussel sprouts! The last time I made them like this though they had a splash of cream instead of soy sauce. Both of which should probably stop soon since So Cal’s summer starts in a week.

Speaking of not so healthy foods, I made your carmelized pork belly as part of my showoffy foods served for the Oscars. Instead of the traditional bahn mi I served it as a lettuce wrap with the traditional accompaniments. They were a huge hit so thanks for making me look good!

Jessica- the soy sauce is great because it adds great umami to the dish
