Inspired Cooking



Having returned from a week in Cuba (more on that later), I was actually inspired to try a few new things in the kitchen. First of all, if you read any travel reviews, most people warn not to expect good food in Cuba. I thought the food was mostly very good! In the last two days, I've made stuffed baked peppers, sausage rolls, and seared duck breast.

I've made duck breast before but I learned how to properly flambe while watching the cooks make fried bananas in orange liquer and rum. After searing the breasts, I added red wine, marmalade, and Grand Marnier, tipped the pan towards the open flame then...

...it will take a few weeks to grow my eyebrows back.
