Roasted Kobocha with Sage BreadcrumbsHere's something I lifted from Saveur. Kabocha is a Japanese pumpkin, but really any firm fleshed winter squash would work great. I've made this with a Buttercup and it was really nice. This has the benefits of being really easy to put together, tastes great, and is also vegan (depending upon the breadcrumbs). I've served this on… |

Bacon Infused BourbonI love this stuff ! The process is called fat washing, you're using the alcohol in the bourbon to extract the flavors. |

Pears Poached in Nigori SakeTraditionally done with a Sauternes or a sweetened red wine. These are great too. But I just love Nigori sake.

Coffee Braised Beef with Bacon and MushroomsCoffee Braised Beef with Bacon and Mushrooms I have a confession to make. I really like my Crock Pot. Yes it's true. It does a great job on slow braises like this. Now that that's out there, I'll raise my head up high and tell you how to make this. The bacon, mushrooms and coffee give this a real depth of flavor. You don't really… |

CarnitasCarnitas Literally it means “little meats” in Spanish. It can be made from beef, but is almost always made from pork shoulder. Look for “Boston butt”,”picnic ham”, or country style ribs. None of these are from the butt,ham, or ribs: they're all from the shoulder area of the hog. In addition to being very economical cuts, they also… |
