Taste The World

Wild boar, spinach and cream cheese stuffed crimini mushrooms.

Heading out to listen to some classic rock and roll, with a bunch of high school friends.
One of the best things in life, is having an amazing core group of people to do life with!

Becca is home from LA,. anyone want to guess what I am making her for dinner tonight?

There's not a lot of dishes that are as easy, and delicious, as homemade fried rice.
Tonights is surf & turf fried rice.
With jumbo shrimp and smoked brisket.

It's National Paella day!
If you're interested in a challenge, and a REALLY yummy food payoff, try this in the next week or so.
Hit me up if you want help!

Feeling nostalgic for our trip to the Big Easy, so it's a huge pot of Cajun red beans and rice for dinner tonight.

Please, if you like roasted potatoes, you REALLY need to try duck fat roasted potatoes.

Cod steaks in the sous vide.

I've got kind of an odd food question for you guys...
I'm doing some research for what will either be a chapter in my cookbook, or a Short video series when I eventually get around to doing that as well. And what it is, its a collection of recipes around the concept of,
"When We were Broke".
I'm curious if you have any memories as a child, when maybe times were lean, and your family had to get creative when it came to meal time.
Please feel free to send me a direct message, if sharing these stories publicly might be a tad embarrassing! ☺️

Garlic Confit is an amazing addition to your cooking "toolbox".
I just put 2 jars into my sous-vide, one with fresh rosemary, and a crushed red pepper garlic confit.
This stuff is the best!

This one should be a bit of a softball, but any guess on what is being used in The OutHouse Kitchen tonight?

I know that we all love bacon fat, but other than duck fat, this is probably my favorite.

Hey my fellow foodies…
This doesn't look like much right now, but in about an hour, it's going to be 🐔 GOLD!.
Buy your chicken skin ON, and if you like skinless chicken, pull the skin off before cooking and throw the skins in a bag in the freezer. When you get a pound or so of it, dice it up and cook it slowly over low heat with just a little water. After about an hour, you will have the most amazing rendered chicken fat.
Jewish people call it schmaltz, and it will make anything and everything you use oil for, that much better!

My first ever foray into the Art and Science of pressure canning.
7 quarts of homemade turkey broth.

Hey there friends, looking for a leg up on your holiday side dish.
Well if you like me, and you enjoy things like roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes are yams, try roasting a couple of bananas, and then adding it to your mashed side dish. My favorite is roasted butternut squash, with two bananas, ground cinnamon, Nutmeg and the juice of one orange.

My largest batch of dog food yet. Hopefully this will get my crazy Beast through at least 45 days.

Salt curing eggs for a dish I'm making next week. If you have never tried this, you don't know what you're missing!

Love it.

Make memories..
