World Cup Foods: Korean DakDoriTang (Spicy Chicken Stew)
South Korea plays Algeria at 3pm EST in Group H World Cup action. The two teams should be relatively evenly matched. In a food competition however, there is no contest. The national dish of Algeria is couscous, which while delicious cannot beat umami-mad Korean cuisine. Looking at a list of popular Korean dishes and condiments, […]
World Cup Foods: Fesenjan(Iranian Walnut and Pomegranate Stew)
In today’s 12pm World Cup match, Iran faces up against the mighty Argentina. If Iran can pull off the victory, they advance beyond the group stages. Full disclosure: I was gifted an Argentina jersey which I’m obliged to wear though my heart usually supports the underdog. Even if Persia loses, they’ll always have the better […]
World Cup Foods: Kedjenou (Ivory Coast Chicken Stew) with Cassava Couscous

Feijoada: Brazilian Rice and Beans
Happy World Cup, all! I’ve enjoyed the matches so far. I didn’t see the Netherlands destroying Spain 5-1 coming at all. I was also thrilled to see the U.S beat Ghana 2-1 after losing to them in the last 2 world cups. In honor of the host country, Brazil, I made a batch of the […]

I finally gave migas a try yesterday and loved the added chewiness and sweetness. My version used spinach, […]

Sweet and Sour Pork Chop Recipe
Inspired by American style Chinese food, this sweet and sour marinade keeps pork moist and flavorful. I did it with pork chops but it can be used with spare ribs or even ground meat. Serve with rice or with mashed potatoes. Don’t forget to garnish with the pineapple chunks and green onions. Pineapple juice is […]
Review: Almond Breeze Caramel Iced Coffee Caramel Macchiato Flavor
As someone who is lactose intolerant it’s not hard to resist dairy iced coffee. Seeing this RoodonFood friendly version from Almond Breeze was trickier however. Prior to purchase I didn’t know what a macchiato was but it sounded both fancy and tasty. The drink is creamy and colored like chocolate milk but doesn’t weigh you […]
