Coconut Curry Soup With Crispy Garbanzo Beans

Cozy and warm and filling, with a crunchy, crispy kick, this dish can easily be made vegan but is satisfying for even the grizzliest of meat eaters.

Detroit Style Pizza

Not a lot of mods from the famous recipe, but I do a deep-dive into the pan and why this turns out so well.

Ginger-Garlic Beef Bowl

An easy and rewarding dish that can be made on the fly, dressed up for the awards show or dressed down for a night in.

Stout Ice Cream

This is pretty simple, but does require an ice cream maker - or a flippin' lot of stirring by hand. There isn't much of a trick to it, other than to follow the directions for your ice cream maker - usually you need to freeze the bowl overnight. I have the cheap...

Mango Ice Cream

1 cup heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 2 ripe mangos 3/4 cup sugar vanilla (optional) I only know how to make ice cream with a machine, so if you have another method you may need to adjust your recipe, but I peeled and cut the mango into a large dice and pureed with some...

Garlic Ghee

Roasting a bunch of heads of garlic at once is great (and will keep for a while in the fridge) but I wanted to just make a small portion for one meal and since I knew it was destined for mashed potatoes, I wanted to try to poach the garlic in butter. I used a small...

Black Bean Burgers

2 cups black beans 1 cup PLAIN bread crumbs 1 egg Half an onion - grated Several cloves of garlic - grated 1 tbsp chili paste (hot or not) 1 tbsp tomato paste 1tbsp powdered spice mix or blend of several spices or chilis (hot paprika, cumin and etc.) 1 tsp salt...

Bacon sauce on Farfalle

This is a very effective, easy, inexpensive and delicious dish. The combination of crumbled bacon, creamy sauce and starchy farfalle makes a great, reasonably quick, lunch or dinner. Lay the bacon, two or more pieces per serving, on a baking sheet and put in the oven...

Crusty, rustic white bread

This is based on the Overnight White in Ken Forkish's Flour Water Salt Yeast. 500g flour 380g water (@120f) Mix by hand and let rest for 30 minutes. Sprinkle 11g salt and .4g yeast and fold by hand, mixing with a pincer-grasp separation and then lifting and folding....

French Fries at Home

French fries are fantastic. I like a crispy crust and a soft center - a perfect vehicle for ketchup. I like to add some sriracha to a bit of ketchup for a spicy option, and I'm not afraid to admit that I enjoy BBQ sauce, even as a dipping condiment. The secret to this...

Real Waffle Iron

I don't care for wet bread - pancakes, bread pudding, stuffing - not my thing. I DO like crispy bread stuff, waffles at the top of the list as far as breakfast choices go, but I haven't wanted to add yet another bulky item to my kitchen. Then I saw what an old-school...

Ice Cream Toast

The only thing to know about ice cream toast is that it requires vanilla sugar. To make vanilla sugar slice a vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds with the back of a spoon and mix well with good quality sugar. The beans will be sticky and hard to incorporate...

Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread

I really need to figure out a good cornbread from corn flour recipe - it's getting embarrassing that I use a Jiffy box - but I employ this recipe so seldom that it does make sense to just get a $0.69 box rather than keep masa in the back of my cupboards - but I...
