All-time Favorite Brownies Recipe

There's nothing like a comforting dessert to cap every meal and you will never go wrong with these fudgy brownies.  Just bake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Both kids and kids-at-heart will drool over these brownies.  I have made thousands of these, not only to serve to friends and relatives but even to sell as well!  It was a great Christmas giveaway.  A friend who bought boxes to give to her friends for Christmas actually received a special note from the recipient thanking her for the best brownies ever.  My friend was kind enough to inform me afterwards.  No doubt, it made my day.  It was a great start to celebrating the Christmas holidays.  I hope you experience the same with this recipe.  Enjoy!

Chef Peter Kuruvita's Ginger Chili Shallot Sauce Recipe

In another Masterchef Australia Masterclass episode, Celebrity Chef Peter Kuruvita, owner of the renowned Seafood restaurant -Flying Fish-  in Australia, was invited to teach the Masterchef contestants a few tips on how to cook shellfish.  In that particular episode, he prepared Marrons with Ginger Chili Shallot Sauce.  He specifically said that the sauce he's using has been used in his restaurant for years!  It's a time tested recipe that his patrons just come back for every time.  It's one of his trade secrets!  Knowing this, I couldn't wait to try the sauce and see how it tastes.  I jotted down notes and came up with this recipe for all of us to enjoy!  It's a majestic universal sauce that can be used for any shellfish.  Peter even said that it can be used for chicken.  Go ahead and give it a try!

BBQ Baby Back Ribs (American Style) Recipe

One very intriguing dish is the very succulent and juicy Barbecued Baby Back Ribs!  First and foremost, the size of the meat is quite intimidating.  And since you don't normally see this cut of meat cooked at home,  one is led to believe that it's hard and complicated to prepare.  You'd be surprised that it actually is quite easy to prepare!  While it takes a lot of time to make the meat really tender, the process is very simple.  You can just leave the mixture behind and let the heat and the braising liquid do their job.

While watching season 2 of MasterChef Australia, chefs and hosts Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris held a Master Class teaching the contestants how to make American-style Sticky BBQ Pork Ribs!  All the contestants were dying to try the dish and it left my mouth watering after the said episode.  And so now that I know how easy it is to make, I tried cooking a batch last night.  I adopted this Baby Back Ribs recipe from Gary's version.  It's an absolute winner! Enjoy!
