Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and Scallion-Ginger Gravy

If you thought rice was the only starchy side for your Japanese-inspired proteins, well, there’s a new show in town — and boy is it good. Tangy, creamy mash is maybe the best, most comforting side dish to serve with a hearty piece of steak 

Calcutta Painkiller Cocktail

Calcutta Painkiller Cocktail

This cocktail has been brewing in my mind for a long time. I absolutely love a classic Painkiller — you can find a recipe for that in The Buslife Kitchen Vol. 2 — and it is really the sprinkling of nutmeg that makes the drink. 

4 Dishes You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

4 Dishes You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

These are all recipes I’ve made in the past few months — four delicious dishes that I bet many of you out there have never heard of. They come from all over the world: Chile, Korea, The Philippines, and Mexico, but most of them are not yet on the list of well-trodden international foods. That means that they are the perfect recipes to add to your repertoire. Not only are they really excellent food, but they’re great for sharing. It is always rewarding to make a meal for someone that is unlike anything they’ve ever eaten before. So, let’s start building an exciting new grocery list for next week — just click on the photo or the title of the dish below and it will take you to my recipe.

Elote Wedge Salad

Elote Wedge Salad

This salad is a combination of two of my favorite things: elote, also known as Mexican street corn, and the classic wedge salad. This elegant plate has all the flavors of an excellent ear of elote or cup of esquites, making it a perfect starter

The Buslife Kitchen Vol. 2 – Coming May 26th!

The second volume of The Buslife Kitchen is almost here! I have laid my hands on the first test copy, and it is amazing. I cannot wait for all of you to see it. While the books will be arriving slightly later than initially anticipated, we do have a hard date for publication: May 26th!

If you head over to The Buslife Kitchen Shop, copies are now available for pre-order.

Chili Crisp Chicken Salad Sandwich

Chili Crisp Chicken Salad Sandwich

This recipe has legitimately hamstrung my social media for months now. I made this chili crisp chicken salad sandwich recipe all the way back in October — even got all the photos shot and edited — but in the ensuing months I just wasn’t able

Recipe Round-up (Hot Drinks)

The past few months have been difficult. We’ve been traveling in Mexico, exploring incredible places and a wonderful culture, but it has been hard to want to create or to participate in social media. I’ve struggled with the strange juxtaposition of living in such beauty, 

Cowboys, Indians, & Outlaws

Cowboys, Indians, & Outlaws

It was such an honor to write this piece for Cowboys & Indians magazine, a publication focusing on the mythos of the American West. It is a special thing to have your work appear in a proper magazine, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to share with their audience why I think that puttering around in an old school bus may just be the ideal way to really get to know the wild country that makes up so much of our Western public lands. Here’s a link to the full Cowboys & Indians article, if you’d like to give it a read.

The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and the first snow of the year is on the way, which means one thing: it is officially soup season. When the weather turns cold, there is nothing better than a warm pot of soup simmering on
