About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Bourbon Roasted Pork Loin from Everyday Dorie: The Way I Cook

This was delicious. I know she says in the book not to use the good bourbon but all I had was Woodford Reserve so that's what I used. I marinated for about 8 hours in fridge. Loved the apples and onions... read more >

Korean Food Made Simple

By Judy Joo
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2016

I made the pulled pork from page 202 so I could make these and the quesadillas on page 204. Hubby, son, daughter and I all agreed they were good. Loaded with flavor.

This was cooked low and slow in the oven. Some interesting flavors going on - Korean soy bean paste, Korean chile paste, Korean chile flakes, limes, an orange, an onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and OJ. It made some great Quesadillas and Kimchi Disco fries.

Chessy, delicious. Loaded with flavors from the pork, two types of cheese, kimchi and chives. Then the toppings sour cream, tomatoes, avocado and pickled jalapenos.

Son was only one who really enjoyed this. Another dish for hubs Korean birthday meal. Daughter and I enjoyed the sauce over our rice minus the meat. Hubby didn't care for it. I ended up having to get lean striped fat back instead of pork belly since our butcher would only sell the pork belly in 16 pound boxes. I did soak the FF to remove some of the salt.

Made this as an accompaniment to hubby's Korean birthday meal. While it was ok none of us really cared for cold spinach which is how it was to be served. I think it would have been better warm.

This was the hit with our Korean meal for hubs supper. I got the butcher to very thinly slice some rib eye for this dish. Delicious served with spicy kimchi and spicy quick pickled cucumbers from the Dok Suni Korean Cookbook. (I've made this before.) Per hubby's request I didn't add the rice cakes.
