Pork belly braised in cider, pears served with a pea puree, cucumber pear salad, chicharones and yogurt foam. If you’ve never made pork belly before – be warned, its a lot of work. When done properly its a three day long labor of love that you’re either going to find so rewarding you’ll be making …

Rogue Black Bean Soup with Chorizo and Kale
I’ve loved black bean soup since I first had it as a kid. There’s something very comforting about it, the texture, the spices, the heat – to me its real comfort food. I’m giving this recipe with two options, dried or canned black beans. The soup will good no matter which way you go but …

Hellacious Beef Jerky
I was lucky enough to get a dehydrator for Christmas this year, sure there are lots of awesome things you can do with them but is there really any better use for it other than homemade beef jerky? You don’t have to think about it, there isn’t – and how can you make this even …

“Beef and Broccoli”
Beef and broccoli, the old Americanized Chinese food takeout classic. Its never been bad but come on, its never been really good either – until now. We’ve got short ribs, an emulsified broccoli sauce and crispy fried rice to transform these familiar flavors into something that is far too good to be ordered by the …

This recipe is completely different. Because we’re going to remove the stems from the greens, we don’t …

Potato Leek Soup
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 …

Fennel and Satsuma Salad
Seedless and easy to peel, the satsuma is the mandarin orange equivalent to the clementine. Satsumas will probably be one of the most juicy and flavorful citrus fruit you’ll ever sink your teeth into, so what better to with all that juice than to use it in a vinaigrette and make a kick ass salad, …

Sausage, Apple and Sage Stuffing
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 …
