Stovetop Focaccia

Stovetop Focaccia

Focaccia is an easy bread. It is always delicious and, unlike many breads, it doesn’t require much finesse. The herbs and oil give you a delicious, crispy crust every time, with a spongy, open crumb. I could eat focaccia with olive oil at every meal 

Ditchberry Cobbler

Ditchberry Cobbler

After close to a year with the circus, we are finally back on our own, back in our bus, and back to traveling in whatever direction we choose at whatever speed we like. And it sure does feel good. Years ago, when we were just 

The Cookbook is on Amazon

The Cookbook is on Amazon

A few weeks ago, two pallets of The Buslife Kitchen Cookbook arrived in Colorado and were promptly stuffed into my brother’s garage. That first weekend I packaged and mailed the more than 300 pre-orders. By now, just about everyone who preordered a book should have it in their hands (maybe not you folks in Australia and New Zealand quite yet). But, for those folks who didn’t get in on the kickstarter or pre-order train, I am pleased to announce that the cookbook is also for sale in the shop on this website and on Amazon!

Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce

For course #5, I served fried chicken and broccolini over romesco sauce. This was the fill ‘em up course, to ensure that this group of guys at the table, all of whom had gone on some sort of adventure that day, got enough to eat 

Patatas Bravas

Patatas Bravas

Patatas Bravas is a traditional Spanish tapas dish consisting of crispy, fried potatoes drizzled in a smoky salsa brava made with tomatoes and smoked paprika. They are sometimes also dressed up with garlicky aioli, and are undoubtedly one of the best tapas dishes out there.

Gazpacho

Gazpacho

When it is too hot in the bus to consider cooking, nothing hits the spot like gazpacho. It really is the perfect summertime dish, a raw and vegan soup filled with the vibrant tastes of fresh produce. Look, I know that putting raw and vegan in the description doesn’t exactly sell most folks, but believe me, this soup is fantastic. Serve it alongside some bread, olives, Manchego, Spanish chorizo, and a few bottles of wine, and you have yourself a perfect summer evening.

Cream of Morel Soup

Cream of Morel Soup

Cream of mushroom soup has really gotten a bad rap over the years. At least for me, whenever I hear the name, I think of those little cans of gray sludge from which so many mediocre casseroles are built. This is not that soup. When
