Beef Tenderloin Au Jus.

When your butcher cuts you a superior portion of full dry aged range fed Angus Beef Tenderloin, the kiss philosophy {keep it simple} is the best way to serve this deluxe cut. You want to taste the beefy goodness he took the time to produce. A simple salt and pepper dusting about 15 minutes before cook time so the salt can do its tenderizing and the pepper adds some spice. I like my filet cooked medium rare so the outer charring from high heat seals in the juices. After cooking place on a platter and cover with foil and let rest. The juices that pool add some melted butter...

Walleye Pickerel Cheeks and Pikes Feet

Some of my favoured chef positions were the ones cooking for a resort. When I was younger, I wanted to cook in all the well-known Canadian resorts. I always liked fishing growing up and this was the best way I knew how to get to fish in all the talked about destinations. I cooked at many wilderness resorts and learned to do a lot of fireside alfresco shore lunches. I love the flavour of walleye and perch bring to the table.  These next fresh water fish recipes are for shore lunches and cottage meals. Use any fish that are biting or buy a few filets to get the taste you...

Wok Fried Pork Belly Bacon Stuffed Shrim...

Wok Fried Pork Belly Bacon Stuffed Shrimp One of my favourite Asian recipes using tasty cold water gulf shrimp that I tried was from Kwong Chows in Toronto China Town. I was taken there by one of my employers who was showing me the dishes that he would like duplicated and served in his new restaurant Charade. We ate at Kwong Chows about a dozen times and this shrimp dish Woo-Hip-Har or Wok Fried Pork Belly Bacon Stuffed Shrimp. I tried the shrimp dish several times before I could figure out all the flavours used to make this such a tasty dish. At first, I used 12/15 size...

The CBC

The CBC; I love a good wrap. Chicken, Bacon and Cheddar is a good combination and makes a most satisfying lunch or light dinner entrée. I’m  starting with some BBQ grilled creole seasoned chickens along wrapped with some double smoked apple wood bacon that was first crisped over the grill then wrapped in aged cheddar and then grilled to a golden brown perfection. This adds so much more flavour when you char the cheese. A few leaves of butter lettuce and some spinach tucked inside, drizzled with a mandarin orange honey dressing and wrapped up together in a fresh soft...

Feliz Cinco de Mayo

Feliz Cinco de Mayo El Grande Hombre; thekitchenman. Buttered Corn Crusted Rock Fish W/ Mango Salsa, spanish rice, refried pinto beans. Mucho Yum! When fresh caught rock fish is at the market, it is so tasty and economical. The filet with no bones can be seasoned and breaded with corn meal, panko crumbs or crushed peanuts or almonds. I chose a smokey Mexican paprika and herb seasoning rubbed into the filet. Season with sea salt. Pat on the corn meal firmly. Heat sauté pan to medium high and place one tablespoon of butter and 4 tablespoons of oil. Place the filets and fry...
