Cryin’ Collards

greens

When you think of collards what do you get? Some brownish green slop that, although delicious, has been cooked to death for hours, has lost all of its textural integrity and is, lets face it, pretty damn ugly.  This recipe is completely different. Because we’re going to remove the stems from the greens, we don’t …

All right, so maybe if I live the rest of my life without ever eating, making or seeing tomato soup ever again, I will be perfectly happy; however I do love a good soup. Generally I can’t get enough of them, especially in winter when oil prices are high and thermostats are set low. This …

Sausage, Apple and Sage Stuffing

SONY DSC

I know stuffing? Seems so pedestrian, kinda like dirty rice or something. Here’s the way I see it, turkey is turkey, fry it, brine it, rub it, cook it perfectly, but no matter what its still just turkey. Yes when done right, its juicy, tender and very delicious, but I’ll say it again, its still …

Creamed Leeks

SONY DSC

Talk about an underrated vegetable, leeks are often neglected when people are cooking. I’m hoping that this easy to make and very versatile side dish will help change that. If you’re not familiar with leeks, they look like huge scallions, when raw they are very onion like and stringy, but once you cook them they …

Roasted & Curried Butternut Squash Soup

butternutsquash

After the pumpkin, butternut squash is the most recognizable culinary sign of the fall. The sweet and slightly Earthy flavor of the squash pairs amazingly with the spice of curry. I love this soup because its incredibly simple to make yet very complex to the taste .

Chicken Etouffe

Etouffee

I love the food of New Orleans. I love the City of New Orleans. I love the metal of New Orleans. You hear about America being a melting pot of cultures all the time, but that saying only reaches its true meaning in New Orleans where cultures and peoples have mixed to create something truly …

St Louis Ribs (in about an hour)

Inside Smoking

This is a replication of the ribs that got me into the top three on MasterChef’s pork challenge. Obviously these ribs should be slow cooked for hours for optimal flavor, but with the proper techniques we can make these pretty damn awesome without taking our whole day off to do so.
