The Sassy Lawyer & Pinoy Cook on food, family and home.
Melt grated parmesan cheese in a non-stick pan. Cool the mat of melted cheese. When crisp, crack into chips. Or so Speedy heard David Rocco say in an episode of La Dolce Vita. Unfortunately, our melted parmesan did not turn crisp and we tore, rather than cracked, the melted cheese to break it into small pieces. Still delicious though and a wonderful accompaniment for cabernet sauvignon.

In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to pinoycook.net. Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com versions of houseonahill and pinoycook weren't … (click here to read all »)

Another great cheese in lieu of parmesan is queso de bola. Yummy!
I use them interchangeably too. Even the smell is similar.
