Smoked Beef Brisket

IT'S AMAZING! To date, my longest cook is this beautiful, juicy, and beefy Smoked Brisket. It is... Continue Reading →
Vietnamese Braised Lemongrass Chicken
When I was a kid, my mom braised lemongrass chicken pretty frequently. She used to buy whole chickens from the store, cut it up into bite-sized pieces, and braised in fish sauce and coconut juice until most of the juices evaporate and tons of flavors get absorbed inside each chicken piece.

Grilled Cheeseburger
The first recipe I ever posted for No Limit Cooking was my Weber Grill Salmon and Burger recipe.

I started going through some of... Continue Reading →
