Here’s a peek into a completely common Chinese dish: Sweet & Sour Pork!
I like the Sweet & Sour Pork a bit crunchy, but this one was a bit too much. The sauce was good, so overall I recommend it!
We also had some dumplings for starters, and apparently that’s what they’re famous for, so next time I think we’ll do a full Dim Sum meal

Tonight’s dinner is a Portuguese recipe for trout that I found in my favorite portuguese recipes website. It’s another nice way of using cream to make a sauce, in this case for fish.
As the recipe is in Portuguese, I’ve translated it just for you!
Creamy mushroom sauce
“Cream sauce… yummy!”
If you’re anything like me when it comes to food, this is what your mind thinks when you read about cream sauce in some menu, but it seems like not everyone knows really how to make a good creamy sauce!
I won’t claim I’m an expert, but I can at least share some tips & basic information about how to use cream to make wonderfully soft and velvety sauces.
So in this post I’ll write what I consider the basics of using cream to make sauces. If you’d like me to add more posts later with more info, tips & tricks and some favorite combinations just leave a comment saying what you’d like to know!
