Beer Caramelized Leeks, Corn and Bacon Chowder It’s that time of the year again when we need to put beer in our soup. It’s getting darker and colder and I’m even talking about the political news, I mean it more literally. Since you’re home all day, making a big pot of soup to keep you… Read More
Miniature Dutch Baby Oven Beer Pancakes with Nutella Whipped Cream I’m not sure what I miss more, travel, or alone time. Both of these have been scarce this year, and I miss both fiercely. This is what I miss: airplanes. Being on a plane, headphones in, looking out the window from somewhere in the middle… Read More
Beer Brined Lamb Chops with Herb Sauce over Fried Goat Cheese Let’s say you made a playlist, but for food. Except I’m going to call it a mixed tape because it makes me happy. On my Mixed Tape of Food I would have to include goat cheese. You can’t have complete dishes on your Mixed… Read More
Beer Caramelized Apple Tarte Tatin I wish I could tell you what apples I used for this, but I can’t. And by CAN’T I don’t mean WON’T, because I’d tell you anything, especially after a few beers. But these apples came from my backyard apple tree of unknown origin. The Apple Tree of Resentment, as… Read More
Beer and Berry Cobbler Bars Cobbler doesn’t make sense to me. It’s delicious, obviously, but it looks like a mistake. Like an upside-down pie that fell into a pan someone just pretended it was supposed to be that way and we all just went along with it because we still wanted to eat it. Which… Read More
Overnight Yeasted Beer Waffles with Blueberry Syrup This is really because I love you. And waffles, obviously. My favorite waffles of all time are the Sourdough Beer Waffles, they are gorgeous and amazing but do require the wild-fermented magic of a sourdough starter that takes at least a week to coax into existence. And when… Read More
Pineapple Beer Jalapeño Ice Cream So, I did the thing. That thing where I tell you about a recipe but don’t actually give it to you. Because apparently quarantine has made me into an asshole. Or at the very least, unaware of life outside my little bubble of beer and making all the things. As… Read More
Grilled Beer Butter Lobster Tails with Thai Chimichurri Just decide right now to make this. Just trust me, especially if you don’t have a lot of lobster-cooking experience. It’s not hard and you won’t screw it up, I promise. Lobster tails have had all the hard tasks already done for you. All the scary, stare-a-beast-in-the-face-while-you-kill-it,… Read More
Elote Pilsner Creamy Polenta with Grilled Tajin Lime Shrimp and Halloumi Sometimes it feels as if my recipes are just a long string of predictive text that I figure out how to make into a meal. Or I keep trying one-up myself until I can’t fit anything else in a bowl, but it’s how I… Read More
Blueberry Beer Cream Cheese Cake with Basil Whipped Cream This might be a giant blueberry muffin with an almost creamy texture, and it might be a cake that doesn’t actually need frosting. Maybe it’s a hybrid, the nexus of two similar foods, a “Cuffin”, or a “Make.” But don’t overthink it, it’s an easy one-bowl… Read More
Burrata Burrito with Smoked Salmon and Creamy Beer Pesto Let’s do something fun, something that doesn’t require a face mask and hand sanitizer. Find your quarantine person and somehow bring up that you want to do a cooking challenge, you against them. But, there are some rules of course. Rule 1: The dish can’t take… Read More
Sourdough Old Fashioned Beer Doughnuts, no bakers yeast makes these easy to make! This is the exception to the rule. As a rule, yeasted doughnuts are superior to all other doughnuts and cake doughnuts are just fried muffins. BUT we can all make an exception for Old Fashioned doughnuts because they are the best and… Read More
I know what you’re thinking. You’re looking at this thinking, “Why you say crostata when this is clearly a galette?” No? You weren’t thinking that because you’re normal and not a huge nerd like me? Sorry. But now I have to address this issue. This is what happens when I create a problem that didn’t… Read More
Grilled Stout Brined Sirloin and Corn Salad with Tahini Pale Ale Dressing I want to tell you a story, one about myself, because it’s all I have to offer right now. Growing up, things were exactly easy. Here are the CliffsNotes: Dead dad, disjointed family, moved a lot, hardly enough money to feed us all. Because… Read More
Breakfast Beer Focaccia Do you have a favorite meal? Is it breakfast? Say it’s breakfast so that we can be the same. I like it when we agree. My love for breakfast really doesn’t have as much to do with the food as it does with the Breakfast People. These are always your favorite people,… Read More
Sourdough Beer Biscuits I know I told you that it would be DAYS before I posted this recipe, and in reality, it’s been like 30 hours, but that’s the nature of our existance right now, right? 30 quarantine hours seem like days. Quarantine days are like dog years, each one is equal to seven regular… Read More
Grilled Beer Chicken Legs with Caramelized Yakitori Glaze I served this with homemade biscuits, is that weird? Yes, the answer is yes. I suppose that you should serve it with something vegetal, or salad-adjacent, but I needed a big ‘ole plate o’carbs. Because biscuits are just better with dinner than with breakfast, there I said… Read More
