http://spicehound.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Monday, September 29, 2008. Green chile pasta with cilantro-lime brown butter sauce. Warning: I recently discovered that I can add video to my blog. This post contains a completely silly piece of video that I can only blame on a six-pack of Commodore Perry IPA and the unexpected free time that came from a canceled meeting. I'm only posting it as a test but it is kinda' funny). Sorry about that.). Links to this post. Friday, September 19, 2008. 2/3rds beef, 1/3rd pork, egg, w...

SpiceHound cooks (and brews): February 2009
http://spicehound.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Monday, February 9, 2009. We're months away from fresh local tomatoes, cilantro and chiles so here's a winter-friendly salsa that still incorporates some fresh local ingredients. O.K., can you really call the tomatillos "fresh" if they were picked almost 4 months ago? All you need to make a great tomatillo-chipotle salsa is some garlic (the other local ingredient), chipotle morita chiles, piloncillo sugar and salt. 3 oz piloncillo sugar. Brown sugar also works. Good night...

SpiceHound cooks (and brews): Chorizo is your friend
http://spicehound.blogspot.com/2009/08/chorizo-is-your-friend.html
SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Friday, August 21, 2009. Chorizo is your friend. Here is a quick, simple recipe for a "flavor-bomb" sausage. It only takes a few minutes and is perfect for stuffing all kinds of veggies this time of year. 1/3rd cup chile powder (Today I used ancho but use whatever you like and of course, using whole chiles, soaking and pureeing is preferable but not as quick). 1 head of garlic, coarsely chopped (grate it on a box grater if the cloves are large enough). Chicken wings are enjo...

SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Thursday, April 30, 2009. A couple of new books you should own. I know, I know. I've been slackin' on posting again. I'm very busy this time of year trying to pull the market. Together for another season. I do have a couple of things worth posting that I hope to get to soon. Here's a hint. I do want to mention o a couple of new books I'm excited about. The first one is Ruhlman's. The other book I'm looking forward to picking up is the latest version of Cleveland Ethnic Eats.

SpiceHound cooks (and brews): June 2009
http://spicehound.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Thursday, June 4, 2009. Homemade masa for tamales. I look forward to trying many different blue, red and other various heirloom maize varieties in the future but I highly recommend popcorn as an always-available alternative. Fillings can be anything you want. The one pictured above was filled with some leftover achiote-braise pork shoulder but anything delicious will do and a small amount of leftovers can be turned into a feast. Now go make some tamales.

SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Thursday, January 28, 2010. Thai-ish crawfish cakes w/ banana bread crumbs. Why have so many people forgotten what bread crumbs are all about? Having found myself with an abundance of banana bread once again, I decided to recreate that recipe.well kinda'. I didn't have any crab meat but I did have some frozen crawfish tail meat. I also didn't have any homemade curry paste in the freezer (See my post about homemade curry pastes here. No Does it taste good? They're unique and ...

SpiceHound cooks (and brews): Cottage Pie (featuring root veggies)
http://spicehound.blogspot.com/2012/01/cottage-pie-featuring-root-veggies.html
SpiceHound cooks (and brews). Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Cottage Pie (featuring root veggies). What is a cottage pie? When I demoed this at the market I watched peoples eyes light up when I said "pie" only to turn to confusion and horror when I listed the ingredients, "Beef, turnips.". "Beef? After a moment of contemplation, some said "You mean shepherds pie". Nope I mean "cottage pie". Shepherds pie is made with lamb and ONLY LAMB! Why all the roots? I'll love you even more.) The goal here isn't n...
