Made with beets, cabbage, onions and three meats including a smokey kielbasa sausage, salt pork and a nice shank of beef, a good Russian Borscht is winter comfort food that is as rich in aroma and falvour as it is in colour. A soup from my eastern bloc roots.
How to warm up on a cold winter night, just wrap yourself around a big pot of Texas-Style Chili. Rather than using ground meat and sauteing, we use a blade roast and slowly braise it until it’s pull-apart tender for big, beefy texture and big chili flavour.
A Nova Scotia seafood chowder, brimming with chunky bits of sea flesh, it’s good old fashioned Maritime fare. When the snow flies
Lobster Chili, you’ll be the hit of the tailgate party. MAN FOOD, with a refined twist (and buttery, garlicky, cheesy biscuits).
This isn’t a complicated dish. It’s simple, hardworking food. Beef short ribs are an underrated cut of meat. At first glace they’re just short, fatty, bone-in chunks of beef. But treat them with respect and a bit of love and you have rich, flavorful, tender fall-off-the-bone, beefy goodness.
Yes, it’s spicy. Lamb vindaoo is a spicy Indian stew and a favorite in most curry houses, where you’ll often find it with added potatoes. No potatoes here my friend just tangy, spiced lamb marinaded and cooked to perfection.
