068-Cooking Techniques Primer Feb 15, 2012

Show notes

In this episode I take a listeners suggestion and cover some basic cooking techniques we all need to use for basic or even advanced cooking. Sauté, braise, roast, bake, steam, broil pan fry etc. These are all terms we hear often but usually do not get much background information about. I try to tackle these topics in a simple way with detailed descriptions in order to help you cook better.

Dinner is followed up with 3 choices for dessert.

066-Eat Your Greens-All About Dark Leafy Greens And Why I love Them Feb 09, 2012

Show notes

I have come to love dark leafy greens. With their slight bitter and rich green flavor they are versatile to cook with, and excellent to eat. Of course they are loaded with health benefits; high amounts of antioxidants plus vitamins A, K and plenty of calcium too. Not many foods are this easy to grow, this fun to cook with and this good for you. If you do not grow and cook greens your missing out on a great culinary pleasure.

065-Where Did The Real Sausages Go ? Feb 08, 2012

Show notes

The sad fact is that getting a good sausage is becoming much harder. The supermarket is pretty much devoid of real sausage. Instead big food companies produce and market phony tube steaks masking as real homemade sausage...the kind we all love. In places like the upper mid-west getting a good brat is a religion. But if you do not have a local butcher or artisan making them you're stuck buying big brand junk. The good news is there are many new butcher shops and artisans that are bringing this craft back. These are the places we should support in order to get our hands on the real deal.

064-The Bread Of Life-Thoughts And Memories Of Real Bread Feb 06, 2012

Show notes

I have a fond appreciation for good bread. Whether a long crispy baguette from a small bakery in the countryside in Burgundy France or right from my own kitchen. Good bread is within the reach of all of use, no matter our location or economic circumstances. The ingredients and equipment needed for bread are easy to find and usually inexpensive. Learning to make good bread is a skill that will pay dividends your whole life.

063-Is Juice Killing Your Kids? Feb 03, 2012

Show notes

Many people are under the impression that fruit juice is healthy, it certainly can be in some circumstances, IE; fresh squeezed, but most bottled juices are not at all healthy, especially for kids. The marketing and labeling laws are very deceptive and most parents think they are giving their kids healthy liquids, the truth is the opposite. This is one of the reasons type 2 diabetes is on the rise so fast. Kids are bombarded with high fructose drinks from a young age eventually wearing out their insulin system.

062-Cooking The Perfect Steak Feb 01, 2012

Show notes

In this episode I take you through the process to cook a steak properly. Everything from marination, to cooking to slicing and even how to make a tasty pan sauce or gravy. I also talk about how steak gets graded by the USDA and how to cook grass-fed beef properly as well.

061-The Dangers Of BPA And How To Avoid It Jan 31, 2012

Show notes

This episode is about the awful chemical called BPA that seems to be in everything. This chemical is dangerous and can cause many types of disease; heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes etc. I think we should all avoid this horrible substance that should NOT be in our foods or drinks.
