Cedar Planked Salmon with Lemon-Dill Butter and Grilled Rainbow Carrots by Robyn Medlin

There’s just something about salmon cooked on cedar planks that makes it that much more enticing. It must be the smoky flavor from the grill that coaxes the cedar flavor out of the wood and into the fish while also permeating the air with a…

Bacon Crusted Texas Brisket by Robyn Savoie

Pull out the smoker for this one or be prepared to use your grill. I recommend charcoal over gas. This is time consuming but worth it. I found this recipe in Steven Raichlen's Cookbook; "How to Grill by Steven Raichlen (Workman, 2001)."

Mesquite Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon-Ancho/Pasilla Sauce by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from one in Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. The original browned the pork then roasted it in the oven. Instead I smoked the pork with Mesquite wood chunks. Mesquite can overpower food and make it bitter if too much is used…

Maeun Bulgogi 매운 불고기 (Spicy Korean Barbecue Beef) by jason kim

After being pleasantly surprised with the visit to K-Peppers (Korean fusion restaurant) in Middleton, I had to try and copy their delicious, spicy version of bulgogi (thinly sliced barbecue beef, or translated literally as “fire meat”). For those who don’t know what bulgogi is, it’s thinly sliced rib eye steak (or another prime cut…

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter by Kevin Greggans

Recipe of Emeril Lagasse, 2002 – modified by Kevin Greggans There is nothing like fresh Dungeness crab when the season opens in the San Francisco Bay area! I modified this recipe and kicked it up another notch! Not so much for spicy seasonings, but more of a savory etouffee flavor. When you combine this with the smoked flavor…

Poor Man’s Burnt Ends and Tips by Patti Fisher

Our “Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends are “Off The Hook”! The burnt ends are meat candy. Burnt Ends are normally made from Brisket and that can be very expensive. But, as Larry Wolfe showed us you can use chuck roast. Patti got me an 8 pound Chuckie for around $21. That’s a lot of good meat for the smoker. Patti and I have set one night a…

I made my own mix on honey BBQ chicken.

Smoked Lasagna Roll Ups by Patti Fisher

We wanted a hearty stick to your ribs dinner. Having our good friends Jim & Debbie over and they wanted a dinner with some of Ken’s smoked cheese. We’ve all enjoyed it as snacks on crackers and cheese sauce, but they wanted to try some of our cooking magic as an entrée. Patti thought her lasagna would put the cheeses to a delicious…

Cumin-Paprika Grilled Pork Loin by John Spottiswood

This is a slightly spicy and really tasty pork rub. We served this at a large pool party this weekend and it was a big hit with the adults. The kids seemed to prefer a sweeter, Asian marinated pork loin that we also served. Personally, I preferred this one. The flavor of the rub just complemented the pork loin perfectly. I…

Smoked Baby Back Ribs by Bob Vincent

These are tasty ribs. I made them for Father's Day this weekend. The ribs had plenty of meat on them. The key to this type of cooking is not to be in a hurry. The results of waiting while the ribs slow smoke is worth the time. Slow and low is the attitude here. A constant temperature is also important; 225' is perfect for…
