Here’s a recipe for Pub Sauce from My Tartare. It’s a reduction – a demi-glace – made with beer and perfect for everything from steak to gravy.
In this post, we review Gilbert’s Craft Sausages. We grilled several varieties of chicken and beef sausages and taste tested them alone and with several condiments. Gilbert’s will is one the vendors at Chicago’s Wrigley Field this summer. Go Cubs!
This is a review of Lidia Bastianich’s “Italian-American Lasagna.” It’s loaded with meat sauce, mozzerella, and ricotta. It’s a fantastic recipe. It also freezes and reheats beautifully: so have some now and have some months from now. You’ll get a lot of delicious mileage out of this.
Parmesan and ricotta cheeses combine to create this savory cheesecake. Truffle oil and pesto put it over the top. You’re friends will think you’re freaking amazing – which is cool, because you are.
Good things come in threes: this is the first of a trio of chocolate cakes that we’ll present over the next few weeks. Chocolate Stout Cake is a hot water cocoa cake in which the oil and water are replaced by sour cream and beer. Topped off with a cream cheese frosting, it’s quite an impressive cake.
MiLam reviews Martha Stewart’s pineapple upside-down cake recipe. It’s uses fresh pineapple and dried cherries, and is baked in a cast-iron skillet.
During Restaurant Week, Chicago eateries such as the elegant Blackbird, the storied Paramount Room, the everyman’s Public House, and the spicy Salpicon present special, prix fixe lunch and dinner menus, featuring everything from duck confit to fish tacos, from mussels to steak tartare.
I found this recipe for Butterflake Dinner Rolls on a blog I follow, called Spiced. They’re beautiful and delicious.
