Japanese Beer Pancakes I tried to make this as easy as possible for you. Because I know that although I really like to spend all day in the kitchen, you probably don’t. The first run-through I tried a blender because it’s how I make crepes. I was hoping the blade would blend the egg whites… Read More
Puff Pastry Churro Curls with Chocolate Stout Dipping Sauce I’ve been taking stock quite a bit lately, haven’t you? What’s in the pantry (how did I get pickled raisins and why do I still have them?), what’s in my life (so many good people), what I’m grateful for (lots and lots). This helps, I promise.… Read More
Drunk Ramen Carbonara, the ultimate pantry meal! I don’t want to tell you how to live your quarantine life, but you should make this. It’s a huge step up from just eating a package of store-bought ramen, which, let’s be honest, we all want to do right now. It makes you feel like you’ve actually… Read More
Matcha Beer Pound Cake with Strawberries, Mint Whipped Cream I know what you’re thinking. “Oh, so THIS is a cake but that chocolate thing you posted last week was bread? What are the rules?!” There are no rules! Not right now. Not in this pants-optional-all-day-drinking-keep-your-COVID-cooties-away-from-me world we currently live in. Rules do not exist! Ok,… Read More
Beer Apple Fritters with Vanilla Maple Glaze Is it just me or are we all hypochondriacs right now? Was that sneeze allergies or a deadly virus? Is the house too hot or do I have a deadly virus? Did I eat something weird or do I have a deadly virus? It’s nonstop. But on the… Read More
Pilsner Sandwich Loaf (makes 2) Do you remember the days when it was easier to go to the store than to bake bread? Those were good times. We will get back there soon, I promise. For now, we will be baking bread in our pajamas and failing to social distance from carbs because the store… Read More
There is a lot of uncertainty right now, but let’s talk about what is certain. Yoga pants and pajamas are socially acceptable all day. Cake can now be eaten at all meals without guilt. And the government has officially declared brewery staff to be considered essential during the shelter in place lockdown. But we already… Read More
Key Lime Pilsner Loaf Cake with Mezcal Icing We all need cake right now, we do. It helps. Apparently so does social distancing and hand washing. And don’t forget that alcohol kills all germs. Where does that leave us? Washing our hands and drinking alone. There are worse things, I suppose, especially when you have… Read More
Beer Chicken Shawarma with Sweet Potato cakes and Tahini Aoili This has been a hard month, for all of us. We aren’t even two weeks in and this month has already had an impact on the world in profound ways. It leaves us all feeling helpless and scared, worried and frightened. I wish I had… Read More
Tandoori Beer Lamb Wraps with Mango Mint Salsa and Harissa Feta Sauce Do you remember the first time you had lamb? or Naan? Maybe you don’t, that’s ok. Maybe you grew up traipsing around the Middle East, or with parents who would regularly bring home take out from exotic places. I did not. My mom’s… Read More
Burrata, Mango, Arugula Pizza with Hot Chili Oil and Overnight Beer Pizza Crust I’m going to give you some advice about general safety and well being. If you ever meet a person who doesn’t like pizza: run. Run fast, and far because this is a person who can not be trusted. It’s the core of… Read More
Rosemary Olive Oil Beer Biscuits with Tomato Garlic Confit (dairy and egg-free) I have a theory. I really believe that breakfast being touted as the most important meal of the day has nothing to do with nutrition. It’s because we cook breakfast for the most important people in our lives. We’ll have a mid-day coffee,… Read More
White Chocolate Cake with Blood Orange Filling and Russian Imperial Buttercream The most frustrated I have even gotten while cooking, came at the hands of a cake. Not just a little frustrated, but throwing an actual tantrum in the kitchen all by myself. This is the ugly truth, people, if you can’t handle it, please… Read More
Hot Honey Beer Prawns I have a confession. This was supposed to be for dinner but instead I ate it over the sink and called it “lunch” as if I hadn’t already eaten. This would drive you crazy if you had to put up with me on a daily basis, I have no ability to… Read More
Pilsner Pappardelle with Harissa Brown Butter, Burrata, and Crispy Basil Is January an asshole, or is it just me? Every year of my life up to this moment, January has been the worst month. It’s soggy and heavy and sad. We’ve just got to keep moving through it as if it doesn’t exist, it’s just… Read More
Michelada Marinated Steak Tacos with Chipotle Avocado Sauce and Beer Pickled Onions If anyone tells you they don’t like tacos they are incorrect. Yes, I know, liking something is technically an opinion, and those can’t be correct or incorrect, except about tacos. I’ll even let those “I don’t really like ice cream” people have their… Read More
Beer Bread Cinnamon Roll Muffins, just twenty minutes to get these in your oven! Do you get really uncomfortable when you have to open gifts in front of the gifter or is it just me? Should I smile more? Am I appropriately excited or should I be louder? Was “wow” enough or should it have… Read More
Apricot Streusel Beer Loaf Cake (vegan) I do this every time. I see an ingredient and I can’t let it go like a normal person. Most people would arrive at house flanked with apricot trees and think that sampling a couple right off the tree sounds like a good idea. I don’t let the barrels of… Read More
