Chocolate Stout Brownie Waffles, beer for breakfast! This is a PSA. In the light of everything else that will fly at you from your computer this week, all the sad-terrible-no-good-very-bad-news that will be inflicted on you, I’ve got some good news. Waffles aren’t just for breakfast. Breakfast has just been hoarding them. Breakfast can be… Read More
Salted Caramel Stout Apple Bars I’ve been chasing the light around my new house for the past three months. I haven’t found it, not in any real way. It’s an occupational hazard, really. Every time I move, I have to find it. I have to find that place in my house where I can set… Read More
Chinese Stout BBQ Pork Recipe (Char Siu) I really think the reason Chinese BBQ Pork is so appealing is because it’s shiny. This probably makes us all giant infants on some primitive level, but it’s true. It’s hard to resist something that catches the light the way this does. It’s like a gemstone. A slow cooked,… Read More

Drunk Diablo: Chocolate Stout Devils Food Cake with Mexican Hot Chocolate Frosting When you have a weird job, there are two categories of projects you work on.

Sweet and Sticky Garlic Stout Beef, 20 minutes and it’s so good! I’m on an airplane, somewhere over South America, between Panama and Huston, Texas.

Stouts and Scouts: No-Churn Thin Mint Beer Ice Cream. Ten-minute prep! This is my exception. Really, the only one. I have an aversion to mint that started in a cave in Middle Atlas the day before I almost died in Morocco. But the thing is, if you are ever in a cave in Middle Atlas… Read More
Mushroom Stout Not-Bolognese AKA Best Vegetarian Pasta Sauce Ever This isn’t a bolognese, I know that because my proper bolognese with tons of pork and beef is the stuff of dreams. There really isn’t a word for this sauce, it’s vegetable based but as meaty as you can get without the meat. I’m knee deep… Read More
Individual Stout Mousse Cakes with Flambé Bourbon Beer Cherries This is for you. Or really, it’s for us. Because I decided a long time ago to redefine Valentine’s day to be about more than just romantic love (although I pretty much covered romantic love that time I wrote about blowjobs). Valentines is about the people… Read More
Chipotle Pale Ale Polenta with Stout Braised Mushrooms I have something to tell you. I’m writing another book, a cookbook, obviously. It’s a book I’ve wanted to write for a while, a book that I’m excited to create. It’ll focus on cooking with not only beer, but with in-season produce. It’ll break down the seasons,… Read More
Stout Cranberry Mascarpone Chocolate Truffles I do this thing every year, and I think you should do it, too. It’s about resolutions. I make one every year, but they aren’t about denying myself things in a way that I will spend the year torturing myself with goals that revolve around fitness or money. They’re about… Read More
Prosciutto Mushroom Pasta in a Porter Cream Sauce I’ve figured something out. I have a reverse sense of fear. Is this a thing? I think so, even if it’s a term I just made up. I’m terrified of things that shouldn’t scare me, like mall Santas, commitment, and going on a cruise. But things that… Read More
Stout Osso Buco Recipe It’s been eye-opening. The way the past few months have unfolded has shaken me awake. I’ve had to face the things about myself that I kept hidden like jewels in a wall safe. What I do for attention and what I do to push people away, the masks I wear and… Read More
Stout Romesco Dip (10 minutes, so good) This was been a woodwork year. One of those years when people from my distant past, from a time when I was a person who doesn’t exist anymore, come out of the woodwork to jump back into my life. They feel equal parts foreign and comfortable, like a… Read More
Grilled Stout Steak Sandwich with Charred Poblanos and Blue Cheese Sour Cream. My new favorite sandwich! Of all the things I love about this weird job I invented for myself, I have a favorite. A hands-down-favorite aspect of it all: the people. It sounds trite, saccharine, melodramatic, but it’s true. The people you meet in… Read More
