Compound butters are the perfect way to add a lot of flavor and most importantly heart clogging goodness to any dish. Plus there are millions of ways to make them and adapt to damn near anything from beef, lamb, salmon, and vegetables. For example, if you are a corn on the cob fan mix some butter […]
Well officially I am a slacker with two weeks no updates. For about a year now I have been religiously updating this blog at least 2-3 times a week and sometimes way more than that. Kind of hit a wall and just needed to take a two week vacation.
I also wanted to take some time and […]
Well I have been a slacker in the update department however; I have not been cooking but was on a joyous business trip. I landed on Tuesday but by the time you get home, do laundry, and play catch up you have easily lost a couple more days.

This is my Taste and […]

I have a confession I hate writing about classic Italian dishes. I love to make them but making an entry about them seems to draw out every Internet troll to tell you how far off base you are. For some reason there is not a cuisine on the face of this planet that will be […]
While wandering through the local butcher shop I had to stop and double look because there was some beautiful thick cut pork chops staring at me from behind the glass. Since currently I am lacking in the pork chop department (3 freezers full of meat and a pork fetish you think I would have pork […]
This dish is what happens when you walk into your herb garden and see an over abundance. Instead of trimming back the herb plants and throwing the trimmings into the compost bin I just decided to start throwing it together into a marinade.
For this marinade you will need:
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of white wine
1 […]
