ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF: super happy exciting fun time!!
http://spasstasticchef.blogspot.com/2009/10/super-happy-exciting-fun-time.html
ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Sunday, October 4, 2009. Super happy exciting fun time! This Monday we are going to plant our 1st cover crop.white clover. I am a little bit confused as to how much we actually need to plant for 3/4 of an acre. I think lil' george bought 2.5 pounds and that ought to cover what we need. It is incredibly fulfilling to know that in less than 2 years(i hope) that we will be able to grow most of our own produce. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs That R Gnarly. Next week, Tra...

ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF: October 2009
http://spasstasticchef.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Monday, October 19, 2009. I am currently trying to track down some Tennessee truffles for the winter menu. There is a company out of Tennessee that is currently producing truffles on a plantation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I hope that we can get our hands on some. It might be pretty hard, because they are pretty popular with big name cheffy-types. Anyone know if truffles are found in Ohio? I am also interested in trying "pecan truffles" which grow around pecan trees down south.

ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Drunken Swine Nettle Ale is GO! Finally bottling the 1st batch of nettle ale tonight. It almost tastes like Oberon, which I find kinda weird. I'm gonna tweak the recipe and make it just a tad more bitter. In a week or so, we'll see how it tastes after bottling. I hope that it doesn't explode! Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Thank you, my delicious friend. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Today, after hours of research, I decided to finally make some nettle beer. I a...

http://spasstasticchef.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Sunday, September 27, 2009. I am currently in the process of providing a lil' more ownership over this blog to a few of my lovely partners in crime. I am a firm believer in people getting credit for all the work that they do. The restaurant is pretty busy. This exciting for all of us, as being busy means that we are hopefully doing something right. We have decided on some of our "staples" for next year. We are also trying to narrow down. There dude, you happy? The cardoons and ...

ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Monday, April 27, 2009. Thursday, April 16, 2009. It's ramp time. Yum Yum! So ramps are starting to show up all over the place right now. We have gotten some from Ben Bebenroth. And from KJ Greens. They are also popping up at all the farmer's markets. So, last week, we got 20 pounds of these dirty lil' suckers! If you're feeling frisky, the recipe is as follows:. 1/3 c Korean Chili Powder (sub chili flakes if you can't find them.just pulverize in coffee mill). 3 T Fish Sauce.

http://spasstasticchef.blogspot.com/2009/10/next-week-tractor-pull.html
ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Next week, Tractor Pull! Phillip took a lil' video on his iphone a few weeks back. I thought I would post it to show everyone that we are really farming, and because it shows off tom's antique tractor. The straw helps keep weeds out, retains moisture and provides nutrients. The bed that we covered is where we planted our garlic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs That R Gnarly. The Gastronomy of Trust. Slow Food Northern Ohio. The Cage Free Toma...

ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF: July 2009
http://spasstasticchef.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
ADVENTURES OF A DORK CHEF. Friday, July 17, 2009. This summer, I have become obsessed with the Cape gooseberry. We have great success with our gooseberry/champagne pan sauce for the scallop dish. The blue corn grits from Covered Bridge Gardens and the Niman Ranch pork belly confit really round out the dish. The mixture didn't set all the way(probably due to the proof of the vodka). We then vacuum sealed under the highest pressure that we could muster. The mixture was then strained through a coffe...Glaze...
