Summer may be drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze the most out of it with a galette filled with some summer fruits. I stumbled upon this recipe from NYT Cooking, and the perfect opportunity to make this came toward the end of intern year. One of the Medicine residents had…

Shish Kebabs & Greek Salad
While we all love comfort food like lasagna, I typically reserve those dishes for the winter months. When the days are long and the sun stays out late, I usually gravitate toward bright and fresh flavors. Georgetown’s medical students have been working hard in their culinary medicine elective and it has inspired me to add…
NYT Ropa Vieja
Ropa vieja translates to “old clothes.” After some light googling, I learned that this name comes from a fable about a poor man who had no money for food, so he shredded his clothes and boiled them, hoping that it would be able to feed his family. Magically his shredded clothes turned into food for…
Mom’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars
My medical school has a tradition, where a first-year student (the “little”) is paired with a second-year student (the “big”). Last year, I had my little and grand-little over for dinner. I made The King’s Butter Chicken, The King’s Garlic Naan, and a coconut cream pie (stay tuned for this recipe). We had such a…
The King’s Chicken Pesto Sandwich
Hello, from Hershey, Pennsylvania! Land of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kisses, and the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. I am currently in my first week as a visiting student at the Penn State-affiliated hospital. However, this is not my first time visiting “The Sweetest Place On Earth.” As a child, whenever we flew “back East” (as…
David’s Chicken Paprikash with The Rheinlander’s Spätzle
This is kind of a 2-for-1 recipe post. Chicken paprikash is another dish that David introduced to me early in our relationship. It has quickly become one of my go-to recipes for its ease and amazing flavor. As you might imagine, paprika is the main ingredient in this dish. Paprika originated in Central Mexico and…
The King’s Chilaquiles
My third year of medical school has flown by! We finished all of our rotations in the core clerkships: Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pediatrics. While our third year far surpassed first and second year, it did not leave a lot of time for blogging. I am just now entering my…
Nani’s Oatmeal Cake
When I was home for Christmas, I was able to visit Nani a handful of times. The visits get harder and harder, as her memory goes little by little. For those who haven’t experienced the slow loss of a loved one to Alzheimer’s disease, I’ve found it helps to reflect on the parts of them that…
Gnocchi with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
So medical school got a little busy and while I was still cooking a lot and taking pictures of said cooking, I didn’t have time to write posts to share with you all. But, I’m back and ready to provide you with some more delicious recipes. I’m sure you’ve noticed that The King’s Kitchen Blog…
The King’s Chili Chicken Tacos
Tuesdays can be pretty crummy. It’s still the beginning of the week and you have a ways to go until Friday. However, Tuesday is redeemed when it is Taco Tuesday! I first started celebrating Taco Tuesdays when I was living in San Diego. I always looked forward to going to a different taco stand or…
Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
So, last week I introduced you to the deliciousness that is Coffee Ice Cream. However, you may have noticed that the recipe called for six egg yolks, and one thing I hate doing is throwing good ingredients away. I think it is such a waste! So, I turned to the internet for some ideas and…
Coffee Ice Cream
Coffee and med school. Sometimes it feels like these two things go hand-in-hand. When I first started in August, I was drinking a lot of coffee in the morning and sometimes throughout the day. I’m pretty sensitive to the stuff and so if I drink too much I get really wired and am bouncing off…
