Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
My 9-year-old son had a week after school was out that he didn’t have any sort of camp. It was the week immediately following school so we didn’t want to have to set an alarm or be anywhere specific any at any specific time. It should be a relaxing week. Still, the kid needs something…
Fifteen years ago today, spawned from a conversation with housemates over some really good food, FoodPorn.com was born. The concept took a little time to work out but we registered the domain on that day. We came up with categories and started creating content. Not long after the initial launch I created the Celebrities section…
I’m touching on old favorites this week it seems. When I go back to my old recipes though, I’ve updated them or at least made them a little prettier! Serves 2 1 lb Lingcod (it’s blue!!) Trim two nice little fillets out of the ling cod. Cutting out and discarding the bony area and trimming…
I’ve been making this dish for a while but sometimes I tweak it just a tad. This time I added some crispy salmon skin and I don’t know why I didn’t always do that! It’s salmon season here in the Monterey Bay and although it’s not like it was 10 years ago with salmon selling…
We had skirt steak…and we had lard. Instantly my mind went to grilling the skirt steak and making flour tortillas. We had all the ingredients for that. What we didn’t have was anything to go *on* the tacos. I forged ahead with the plan anyway while I rummaged through the fridge and cabinets. Here’s what…
A couple of weeks ago I was going through my freezer inventory (I finally wrote up a list and keep a clipboard on the chest freezer!) and picked out a whole rockfish to thaw. I pulled out my neighbor, Andrea Nguyen’s, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and found her recipe for hand rolls. The first night…
I was mentioned in Forbes Magazine today! I woke up this morning to a Twitter notice on my phone from the author, Cecilia Rodriguez, linking me to “Food Porn: Are You Ready To Take A Stand?”. I was pleasantly surprised, I haven’t been mentioned in major media in years. When I had time to actually…
This is less of a recipe than a link to another recipe. I got short ribs from my monthly box of awesome from El Salchichero. It was really only enough for two and that worked out since hubby was away and I was just cooking for my son and I. I basically cooked the short…
I woke up Saturday morning knowing I was making dinner for 10 people that night and not knowing what the menu was going to be. It was another gathering of our 1999 crew. I needed to pick up a my monthly box from El Salchichero and decided I would just buy what looked good when…
In 1999 we lived in an amazing 1890s Victorian on the West Side of Santa Cruz. It was 3 stories, full of histories, a ghost and lots of good food. It is where FoodPorn.com was born. We lived with another couple and their daughter (aged 3 when we moved in) and our friend rented the…
It’s fall! It’s butternut squash season! I’ve put the makeshift recipe on the site in the past. It is so easy and so good and so easy to scale up to 20 people! I also had just gotten 20 pounds of tomatoes so I made a gazpacho appetizer. All I did was throw tomatoes, basil,…
I got ground pork from my CSA. They have amazing pork. Fatty and delicious. I didn’t want italian food which is what I usually put the pork in so I started searching around Epicurious for ideas. I found Pork and Lemongrass Meatballs in Lettuce Cups. I had all the ingredients aside from the lemongrass. I…
Well, maybe we didn’t really go around the world but our afternoon snack was from Italy, our dinner was from Vietnam. I went to my local market for a days overdue grocery shop. They had a locally grown melon that I, personally, had never seen called piel de sapo or frogskin melon. It is sweet…
The flavors of summer make dinner so simple. I wanted to make the yummy crispy rice again but didn’t want asian flavors so I just started gathering things from my CSA, the farmer’s market and the pantry. I assembled lettuce, sliced peaches, green beans (not in the picture, I forgot them at first!), basil, pan-seared…
This is one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever made and it’s going to be really hard to replicate! Well, the fish and the rice I can easily do again but the only way to do the broth is to have leftover Pho broth again! I made pho one day but didn’t have beef…
