Having been introduced to the products of Contadina, I must say that it has made my cooking a LOT easier. I really like how Contadina pastas are easy to make, their sauces are very good too! I so love the flavor and aroma of the Contadina Olive Oils. So when I was invited to so…

Cooking Quest: Salted Egg Yolk Chicken
Last year, I attempted to cook this. You know, without looking at any recipe? I had a feeling it was fairly easy. I usually just wing it (yabang!). But when I did – it was an epic fail. Hahahaha!! After that failed attempt, I often wondered how it was made without the salted egg yolk…
