Veal Chop Parmesan.

Veal Chop Parmesan. My butcher Armando has some perfectly aged beef and great cuts of veal. I love the chops. I season them with some kosher salt, ground freah pepper and then dry bread the chop massaging in with your hands some grated parmesan cheese, fine panko bread crumbs with a sprinkle each of dried oregano, basil, thyme. Just enough to elevate the mixture flavours.  Try  some Cajun spices or chili if you like more of a kick. I like that the succulent taste of veal to be the main flavour hit. In a oven skillet pan over medium high heat, I add some olive oil and...

Indo Punjabi Goat Curry.

thekitchenman loves well prepared Punjabi cuisine. I have cooked along side some very good Indo chefs which cooked up some very tasty dishes over the years. My favourite lunch is a petit serving of curry goat, okra masala, coconut basmati rice, a small raw veggie slaw along with a basket of most delicious nann bread.   

Crab and Artichoke Dijonnaise.

A most scrumptious salad when you want to impress. I took the time to prepare the artichoke hearts and found that the labor and time needed was made simple this time by using a whole preserved heart.

Shanghai Dining Wok.

                  When thekitchenman has had a long day, I like takeout Chinese stir fry dishes. We have many choices of Asian restaurants here in South Surrey and surrounding Vancouver and it’s growing daily. I like the simple sweet and sour pork, or the pot stickers. The soups are very well made. The wonton and seafood are yummy. The Shanghai Noodle with spicy pork is my fav. For the last several years, I have found this neighborhood jewel of a restaurant call the Shanghai Dining Wok. The owners take good care of us his...

Caviar Bar Mussels

As the executive chef working for Cascades Panorama Resort during its first two years the long 16 hour days and the 50 staff I was managing had taken its toll. Even the day you were to have off would never come because being in management meant you had to do a shift a week as a duty manager. Anybody who has worked at a ski hill knows that a lot of your staff seems to get over served on a regular bases meaning that you are always juggling to fill the missed shifts. There were three restaurants in the resorts Pine Lodge Hotel, also a 500 seat cafeteria for the daily skiers...
