My Dog Diary

Everyone knows I don’t really like cooking. While I do cook at times, I always try to google around and find myself the easiest recipe. I don’t like deep fried. I don’t like to have a long list of ingredients to prepare – hey I tend to forget, and it makes me dizzy when I need to keep referring back to the list.

When I was reading about this cook off, I sort of got attracted by one of the recipes created by Chef Tafari Campbell from Maryland. It’s called Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots. The list is not long, and the instructions seem to be simple. And best of all, it sounds healthy. :)

I probably have to make some changes to the recipe, especially the fish itself, since rockfish is local in the U.S. but probably not here in Penang. I’ve always preferred to have fresh meats, especially seafood, at the wet market near my place instead of those frozen and imported ones from the supermarket. I notice it’s so much fresher! And that’s one of the many benefits of cooking with the domestic seafood. Fresh, fresh, and always fresh!

The site is currently having a competition for readers to vote for their favourite recipe using domestic, sustainable seafood from the top five that the judges have chosen. Winner will get a “Trip to New Orleans” prize package including two Southwest Airline roundtrip tickets, hotel accommodations, dining experiences and so on. I believe it’s only for the U.S. residents but I don’t mind. I’ve got myself a simple and healthy recipe here. But if you are from the U.S., check them out at www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and pick up a recipe that suits you, sit back and see if the tickets go to you! :)
