Chicken Soft Tacos Recipe
5 December, 2010

Chicken Tacos

Chicken tacos are pretty common in my house. I’d say I cook them every couple weeks, usually during the week, because they don’t take too long to make after getting home from work, and of course, because they are pretty tasty. You can also vary up the spices and the toppings to keep things interesting with different versions.

Mushroom Risotto Recipe
22 November, 2010

Mushroom Risotto

Too many of my friends are intimidated by cooking risotto, but in reality it’s not too complex. You do have to pay attention to the cooking times, and it’s not a “set and forget” dish, but technically there’s not too much to master. And once you have the basics – you can make thousands of different risottos.

Butternut Squash Agnolotti with Brown Butter Sauce

Agnolotti, ravioli, tortellini….it’s all so good. Stuffed pastas allow you to really show your creativity and personality. In addition to controlling the flavor of the stuffing, you can play with the ratio of pasta to stuffing, and the sauce. Yes, it does take a bit of work, but I think it’s worth...

Pork Chop Brine Recipe

Pork Chop Brine

In this recipe I make a flavored brine for pork chops or pork tenderloin, which is based on my basic brine recipe.

Making a Bechamel Sauce
12 October, 2010

Making a Bechamel Sauce

Another of the French “mother” sauces, Bachemel is a pretty simple combination of roux and milk (or cream). The combination forms a thick white sauce that can be taken a number of different ways. Adding some cheese, I use it for my mac-‘n-cheese, I’ll also put it (sometimes) as a layer in my lasagna recipes, and there are a hundred other uses.

Basic Tomato Sauce

So, a basic tomato sauce is one of the five mother sauces of French cooking. The mother sauces are called such, because they are the core, or start, to so many other sauces.
