A bit of heat, some fresh herbs a medium to capture the flavor, you have a lot of room with this. You can take just about any fresh herb and make a simple condiment with a lot of flavor. Dill oil goes great with seafood and adds a bright green …
This is yet another one of those things that, no matter how I tell you to make it, someone else’s grandmother made it better. No shit, but for this is for those of you who don’t have old school grandmothers that make sauce from scratch. This is a simple base …
I’m crazy, clinically so, but I am far from stupid. After spending as much time as I have in Kitchens all over, I’ve learned to see through the bullshit and be able to tell the posers from the pro’s. While I have worked for some really amazing restaurant owners, I’ve …
