Beef Cheek Confit

I was recently asked what my favourite thing about New York is. Anyone who’s lived here, knows that there’s a lot to like, but one of the things that makes it unique for me is that you can walk down almost any block and witness something you would never see any other place on Earth. [...]

Beef Bourguignon Recipe

One of my goals with NoRecipes is to show you how to make restaurant quality meals that a person who works full time can make. This means taking shortcuts where it won’t be noticed while taking the “scenic route” where it counts. When it comes to stocks, I reserve homemade stock for dishes like clear [...]

Japanese Curry Rice from Scratch

One of the great things about cooking without recipes is it leaves you free to add different ingredients and experiment, this keeps an old favourite new and interesting even after you’ve had it for the umpteenth time.

My love affair with Pho (pronounced “FUH” not “FOH”) began in my fourth or fifth year in college (yes I was one of those 5 year people). At first I thought it would be a fleeting thing, but as time passed and I moved to the mecca of Pho in Northern CA it grew all [...]

No Recipes roundups are a way for me to share food that didn’t quite make the cut to get its own post. While most posts here come with recipes, these roundups capture the ethos of this blog in that cooking is more fun when “coloring outside the lines”.

Despite all the meat I’ve eaten this week (pork, beef shanks, and lamb), I still found myself with a hankerin’ for some meat. Not just any meat though, I’m talking about a deep fried slab of chicken fried steak smothered in a rich creamy gravy.
Yep, that’s right… chicken fried steak is a piece of [...]
