Hey everybody! We’re sending out patreon gifts today and I wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about our patreon subscription (and patreon on the whole). For those of you that have never heard of Patreon, it is a web service developed to …
Pickled vegetables are a staple in many different cuisines, adding a sour, salty, and slightly sweet crunch to myriad dishes. They are delicious, keep a long time in the fridge, and are thankfully also quick and easy to make.
I developed this recipe to serve as a vegetable side for a large dinner I was putting together, though it could equally be served as a main. When I cook Thai meals at home, at least in my standard, day-to-day cooking, I tend toward a single, protein-focused dish served with rice, like a curry or stir fry. This green bean dish allows me to easily add a second dish while also making sure that we all get plenty of vegetables on our plate. If you are feeding a large group, having a quick, simple second dish can make all the difference. And, if you’re looking for a light dinner, just this dish served over rice will fit the bill perfectly. Continue reading Thai Green Bean Stir Fry
After all of the holidays, travel, and events of the past few months, I am taking around six weeks off the booze, which is not an easy thing for me to do. During the early days of covid I think a lot of us developed …
I read some time ago that we were entering a period during which the term fusion would no longer be sufficient to describe the combinations of techniques and cuisines showing up on restaurant menus. This article said that we were entering an era of food …
If you think that Thai food is all about curries, prepare to have a new favorite Thai dish. Pad Kra Pao (often called holy basil stir fry) is a quick and easy stir fry with amazing flavor. A good base of aromatics and a quick sauce turn green beans and your ground meat of choice (or not meat) into a meal that will knock everyone’s socks off.

This week, two really big things are happening. On the same day, actually. January 22nd marks both my 35th birthday AND the 6 month anniversary of the release of The Buslife Kitchen. So, I’m having a little sale about it. From now until the 23rd, …
This dish is a Brazilian cheese bread made with tapioca flour. It is gluten free and uses the stretchy nature of tapioca starch to create a gorgeous, stretchy bread. You’d swear it’s stuffed with cheese the way it tears, but that’s actually the tapioca (parmesan …
Mid-thirties is an interesting age because I still want to party pretty hard on NYE, but I also want to wake up to a killer brunch and get some productive things done the next day. This recipe does its best to make that a reality: it comes together quickly (can be prepped the night before), and, after a quick cook in the oven, you’ve got a delicious brunch to soak up the booze and put an end to your hangover that somehow seems ten times worse than it would have been in your twenties. Getting that first workout of the year done is all on you, though. Continue reading Smoked Salmon Frittata
I am an absolute sucker for custards, which makes this eggnog creme brulee my new favorite way to have that old holiday favorite. Eggnog is already pretty decadent, but it’s Christmas time, why not gild the lily?
