Pan-Fried Chicken
How to make pan-fried chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) with a simple dredge: quick, easy, everyday cooking without the drudgery
Buttermilk Ice Cream
Two buttermilk ice creams: Vanilla Bean Lemon Curd, and Chocolate with Chocolate Malt Pieces. Churned, yes, but come on … a robot does the churning! Super-creamy, custardy recipes that seem too good to be homemade. Rich and delicious.
Cheddar Meatballs
Baked cheddar meatballs made with beef, pork, onion, and garlic: a recipe for a delicious bit of everyday cooking
Coffee-Crusted Pork Roast
...with orange-cardamom jus, accompanied by caramelized Brussels sprouts and braised red cabbage. Check out our recipe.
Day-Old-Doughnut Coffee Cake
Transform leftover doughnuts and box of cake mix into an intoxicating coffee cake. (There's also a chocolate version!)
Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies: Pop-Tarts, Perfected
The sour-cream-and-butter dough for these homemade Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies is somewhere in between pie crust and pastry. A touch of glaze makes them perfectly sweet. They’re sort of like Pop-Tarts, except we left out the thiamine mononitrate, the palm oil (with TBHQ for freshness!), the dextrose, the high fructose corn syrup … you get the picture.
Homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls
These homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls are made from an easy-ish, yeast-risen bread dough. They're full of Parmesan cheese and garlic. Pair them up with a bowl of chili, or use them to make some killer sliders.
Liège Waffles
Liège waffles are a style of Belgian waffles that are made from a yeast-risen dough and feature pearl sugar.
"Spanish Windtorte," from Make It Like a Man!

Spanish Windtorte

June 3, 2019September 30, 2024 Jeff the Chef

Spanish Windtorte is a meringue shell in the shape of a cake, filled with whipped cream and fruit. It makes quite an impact, yet it’s light and delicious.

"Breakfast with Roger Federer," from Make It Like a Man!

Breakfast with Roger Federer

May 28, 2019March 31, 2022 Jeff the Chef

American-style, Belgian-style … it doesn’t matter what kind of homemade waffle Roger wants for breakfast, I’ve got him covered. I’ll even wash it down with a vinegar shot if I must.

"Waffles," from Make It Like a Man!

American Breakfast Waffles

May 13, 2019May 12, 2019 Jeff the Chef

This version of American Breakfast Waffles is made with buttermilk. I made them in a Belgian waffle maker (not necessary), and topped them with bananas and strawberries.

"Cream Gravy," from Make It Like a Man!

Cream Gravy in the Navy

April 22, 2019April 10, 2019 Jeff the Chef

This Cream Gravy (aka Milk Gravy) recipe comes from the 1945 U.S. Navy Cookbook. The Navy made theirs with meat drippings; I’ve used bacon fat.

"Chicken and Rice," from Make It Like a Man!

Versatile and Easy Chicken and Rice

April 15, 2019April 10, 2019 Jeff the Chef

This recipe for Easy Chicken and Rice is deserving of a homemade stock, but a store-bought one will do. It’s simple, quick, and it’s one of the all-stars of everyday-cooking comfort foods.

"Pasta with Capers and Anchovies," from Make It Like a Man!

Pasta with Capers and Anchovies

April 8, 2019April 6, 2019 Jeff the Chef

Pasta with Capers and Anchovies (and garlic and Parmesan) is a Lidia Bastianich dish that I really love. It’s an quick, easy, weeknight throw-together.
