Grilled King oyster mushroom salad

King oyster mushrooms are one of my favourites because they are super meaty and they look beautiful in a plate.  Paring them with roasted tomatoes (aka: umami bomb – thank you Ivan Ramen for coining the term) and miso, you’ll quickly understand why I decided to post this recipe on here.

Sooooooo…. this sentence is getting redundant but, I really hope you get too try this quick and easy grilled king oyster salad with miso dressing on days where it’s too hot to eat anything to complexed or when you’re just too lazy to break your head in the kitchen.

Thai Fish Curry

I made this the other day and it was a real success!  I wanted to make something with the yellow curry powder that I have sitting in my pantry because it’s incredibly tasty and I’m always wondering what to do with it.  I took my inspiration from a restaurant I went with a friend the other day and on the table beside us they served a fish curry (that’s what I thought it was) that smelled amazing.  From there I had fun and experimenting to end up with an amazing surprise!  Hope you’ll like 🙂
