My Cookbook Testers
Last week I requested a gang of recipe testers, and already have gotten a great deal of feedback. These testers are trying out my recipes for the new cookbook: A Home Cook’s Dozen: Book One The Soup Pot. I will be modifying the recipes based on the incredible feedback so that when the recipes get to your…
Off-Topic: Puppy!
In addition to working tirelessly on getting my first cookbook ready for publication, I’ve been posting a bit less lately due to an adorable addition to our family! We got a beautiful ten week-old puppy! Meet Pixie! This is Pixie in the kitchen being watched over by her new big brother, our eight year-old black…

Bacon Gibson
This week Mike decided to make Gibsons. I’m paraphrasing Mike’s intro about Gibsons, but he tells me that Gibson was a doctor who liked martinis. At some point the good doctor Gibson added the onion to a martini for health reasons. If for no other reason, make a Gibson to honor the awesomeness of a doctor who…
Make Buttermilk & Butter
Making buttermilk and butter could not be easier. There are many ways to achieve it, but I’m sticking with a simple technique requiring only a mason jar and lid, two marbles, and heavy cream. Well, you’re also going to need about ten minutes and some elbow grease. Good old sweat equity! Start with a clean…
