This is one of my very oldest recipes, concocted long before I had the first thought of writing a cookbook. This recipe became a mainstay for me back in my college days, when I was super, super broke. There have been a few tweaks to …
It’s day 12 of the Kickstarter, and we are chugging along. As I write this we are at about 42% funding, and we’re exactly 40% of the way through the campaign. There is a long way to go yet, and I hope you’ll find the time to check out the Kickstarter page and pre-order yourself a cookbook (or book a Forest Feast). But first, let’s dig into another section of the cookbook. Next up is Holiday Recipes. The recipes in this section represent a variety of cuisines, but are primarily recipes like this one, Scallops in Brandy Sauce, which are a bit more complex or indulgent.

This summer has been hot, hot hot. Fortunately, I’ve been hard at working making recipes for cocktails that will cool you right down. This month’s recipe round-up features four recipes for ice cold drinks which will make even the hottest days a little bit more bearable. Continue reading Recipe Round-up (July 2024)
If I’m being perfectly honest, I hate making salads. Especially in the bus, with our tiny counter and tinier fridge, it is such a hassle. One little bin of greens, enough to have salad with dinner for a few days, takes up about half of …
