Recipe Round-Up (April 2024)

Somehow another month has already passed, which means it’s time for another recipe round-up. This month we have a wide selection of dishes and drinks covering a large swath of world cuisines. Whether it’s the creamy, spicy Panang curry tomato bisque which catches your eye,

Recipe Round-up (March 2024)

It’s amazing how quickly a month can go by! We’re down in Baja California right now, and balancing work with international travel has been an interesting new challenge. Somehow it seems to have made life move even faster. We are, of course, used to working on the road, but it’s a little bit different when you are someplace as exciting as this. In the states we are generally  fine with parking up someplace nice and working most of the week, only making the effort to get out for adventures on the weekends, but that is simply not enough in Baja. There is just too much to do down here. Continue reading Recipe Round-up (March 2024)

The Buslife Kitchen Kickstarter Cocktail Companion

The Buslife Kitchen Kickstarter Cocktail Companion

At long last, the Buslife Kitchen Cocktail Companion is here! This little e-book was initially conceived as a reward for meeting a stretch goal on the kickstarter campaign which funded the cookbook. What I promised at the time was a simple e-booklet with ten cocktail recipes. But, as I started working on it, I just wasn’t satisfied with that. I was so proud of the cookbook, there was no way I could send out an e-book that wasn’t of the same quality. So, the project was delayed. And delayed again. And again. But now it has finally arrived, and I think the end product is worth the wait! Continue reading The Buslife Kitchen Kickstarter Cocktail Companion
