Eggplant Parmesan Recipe

Eggplant Parmesan

In this recipe video, I show you how to make one of my favorites - Eggplant Parmesan. As a kid, I hated eggplant in just about form that I found it...with one exception: Eggplant Parm. Now, chances are if you took a shoe and covered it in a rich tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese, I would have...
Recipe Pan Roasted Pork Chop with Succotash

Pan Roasted Pork Chop with Succotash

In this recipe video, I show you how to make a pan roasted pork chop with vegetable succotash. Pork chops, cooked well, are among my favorite dinners. To get the best results, make sure to be buy nice and thick, double cut chops, and brine them for 5 - 8 hours before cooking (although when I...
Grandmas Meatballs Recipe

Grandmas Meatballs

In this recipe video, I show you how to make my Grandma's meatballs...my all time favorite comfort food. As I kid, every single time I saw my grandmother (she lived far away) she'd make a batch for me, and I could never get enough. Some may immediately be thinking rich tomato sauce, but...

How to Braise

I’ve noticed over the past decade or so, that the traditional “cheap cuts” of meat have made a strong surge to prominence on many a fine dining menu. While filet mignon and New York strip steaks still hold their positions, I see short ribs and ox tail just as often. These cuts of meats are...
Meatloaf with Mushroom Sauce

Meatloaf with Mushroom Sauce

In this recipe video, I show you how to make a classic meatloaf...but a bit of an non-classic sauce. This version uses a 50/50 mix of beef and pork, to which I add a fair amount of vegetables (it's a sneaky good way to get more vegetables in your diet). I cook my meatloaf free form - outside...
Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

In this recipe video, I show you how to make one of my all time favorites - a Pulled Pork Sandwich. This BBQ favorite is so simple in its presentation, that it bowls you over with the complexity of favors, and textures. The only downside, is the time it takes to cook the pork shoulder, but it...
Adobo Steak Tacos

Adobo Steak Tacos

In this recipe video, I show you how to make an adobo (at least my version) steak tacos. I love putting different twists on the classic taco, and this one is absolutely great. The marinade of hot spices, along with citrus juice, herbs and a bit of honey, create a great sweet, sour, and savory...
Pulled Pork Recipe

Pulled Pork

In this recipe video, I show you how to make one of my favorite "low and slow" meals...pulled pork. I use a pork shoulder, that I brine and then coat with a flavorful dry rub. And while I don't use a smoker (which is probably more traditional, but a bit harder), the slow roasting...
Roast Chicken with Polenta

Roast Chicken with Polenta and Mushroom Sauce

In this recipe video, I show you how to make a Roast Chicken. The chicken itself, is very simply prepared; but any well roasted chicken is delicious enough on its own, but I lay the chicken a bed of cheesy polenta, that is rich, and creamy; and then top it all with a pan sauce made of roasted...
Chessy Polenta Recipe

Cheesy Polenta

In this recipe video, I show you how to make "Cheesy Polenta". What's cheese polenta? Well, shockingly, it's polenta with cheese added to it. The dish is the perfect side for roasted meats, and even fish dishes, in place of a more traditional potato, rice or pasta; a more...
Steak Frites Recipe

Steak Frites

In this recipe video, I show you how to make the classic dish Steak Frites. While usually made with a Flank (or Hanger) steak, I'm using a porterhouse...but all the principles are the same. Neither steak, nor fries should intimidate the home cook; they are both pretty easy and straight...
