Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake.

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake. I remember as a kid being taken around to all the relatives during the holidays for a visit. My mom and dad had lots of siblings in the area to visit. All my mom’s sisters would measure my dad’s sisters on their meal served and visa-versa. All hell would break loose the next day if you were not served a tasty dessert at the end of any meal. It was sure madness. What kind of a person does not offer some dessert, does she not like us. All I remember is make sure that when you invite any relatives for a visit, be sure you have a...

Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chili ...

  Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chili Sauce Throughout the years as a chef, I found that nothing stirs the appetite more then serving a sizzling platter of succulent stir-fried orange-pink shrimp infused with a simple spicy sweet chilli and flavourful garlic sauce. The reaction by people is the same look. Their eyes are wide open; mouth-watering, jaw slightly unhinged with a let me at those beautiful tasty crustaceans.

Championship Tomato Ketchup

I can still hear my father’s voice telling me that if I was ever going to be a good cook that I would have to learn a repertoire of recipes without the use of a cook book for reference.
