Quay and David's Kitchen

I love Asian cuisine - especially Japanese and Thai. I can't remember what got me into curries, but they've been a consistent part of my monthly dishes for years. I love the…

Chicken parm has been a favorite I-can't-wait-to-have-it dinner since I was a kid. There's always ways to change it up a bit, and that's what we have here. Panko-breaded chicken breast, fried…

This dish feels and tastes like turkey day without all the fuss and time required for a full-blown spread. Tarragon and dried cranberries bring brightness that cuts through the delicious savoriness of…

Welcome to the visual recipe, where I don't have a set ingredient or amount list, but I walk through everything alongside my photos to give some direction and an indication of what…

With a meaty body and all the flavor you'd expect from red sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and basil, you won't even miss having chicken in this dish. Don't be an eggplant hater... Be…

Homemade pasta is a special thing. Not more special than Leela Storm, but making it is a feel-good, therapeutic process. Or maybe it just requires my complete attention so I can't do…

The best part of this dessert is that it's not overly sweet. Well-ripened bananas, creamy egg-yolky custard, and hand-whisked whipped cream all come through with a great balance of flavor. That's not…

It's that time of year when soups become a part of my top-of-mind awareness. And since I've been a potato addict from the time I was born, potato soup plays right into…

Well, it's that time of year again where fall and winter flavors become an automatic craving - without even thinking about it. Normally, I'd be back home pheasant and wookcock hunting with…

If you need a break from pasta, soba noodles might be a solid bet. They're great warm or chilled and very at-home with the sautéed vegetables and chicken that go along with…

Fishies of the sea, can you see me? If so, I'd give you a high-five. Quay spotted a beautiful, thick halibut filet during a recent shopping trip, and it was on sale.…

Sometimes there's nothing better than a deli sandwich to break the monotony and time restrictions of standard dinners. Austin doesn't really have delis - at least not like Pittsburgh, or the general…

When it comes to comfort food, Quay and I align a lot. We share a desire for things that both of our families cooked while growing up, even though Pennsylvania and Florida…

Tilapia... Some love it. Some hate it. Some are afraid of it. We fall into the former, but we're also picky about where we buy it. In Austin, it comes down to…

I absolutely love doing a "Chopped"-style dinner. This is when we don't want to shop and instead work only with what we have in the pantry and fridge - especially when we…

We love pasta of all types and sauces of all flavors. In the Summer when fresh tomatoes are readily available, I make homemade red sauces on a regular rotation. You just can't…

We love one-plate dishes and often cook with the intent to share instead of plating separately. This weekend, we knew we wanted to cook a whole fish, but didn't know what the…

Looking to impress your partner? This dish is guaranteed to impress, destress, and lead to your success. Plus, it's quick enough that you'll still have time to get funky. This is the…

Are you tired of working from home and eating boring lunches? Here's a tasty dish that will spice up your day and leave you feeling like you just left a restaurant, even…

This is a light and filling Summertime fish dish. Perfect for the nasty 100+ degree days in your area. Mint, basil, and vinegar keep it fresh... just like your last drop-top fade…
