Preface by saying I don't drink wine... I cook with it, but I don't like the stuff. I'm weird, yes, I know. I was at a restaurant a few months back with a group of somewhat snobbish people (friends of friends, never again!). One dude orders a $92 bottle of wine for he and his wife. It...

This is something I've been threatening to do for a few years now, so I took the plunge. I bought a brand new 18 foot trailer, a fully equipped kitchen. It has 2 fryers, a full sized flat top, a 4 burner range, two ovens (all Garland), a microwave, two stand up fridges, a bar fridge and a stand...

A few years ago I learned how to roll sushi. I'm not awesome at it (I would NEVER apply for a job as a sushi chef!) But, to make simple California rolls is quite simple. A few steps, yes, but nothing too difficult at all. For a basic roll, I use either smoked salmon, cooked shrimp, crab or...

I used to live 30 miles from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Back in the 90s until about 2010, my hunting and fishing buddies and I used to bring a lot of wild hunted game and fresh-caught fish to the local food bank in Thunder Bay. Since there was a large percentage of the clientele were aboriginal...

I have a feeling I'm about to get slammed here... but, maybe not. And, I'm new here, so if this has been discussed before, my apologies. Living off-grid, way back in the woods (2 miles from the closest house or road) I grow, raise, hunt and fish for, the vast majority of my food. (I do buy...

I want to know if we can exchange links somehow... I would like to be able to promote my site on this site within the guidelines of the site, and then, we would promote DC the same way on our site. Not sure if I worded that right... I think I just gave myself a headache. Thx, RD

Sounds a little bit disgusting, but if you haven't tried it... whoa... Boil the eggs to medium, soft boiled... about 6 minutes in boiling water. Cool them (cold water for a few seconds) just enough so you can peel them. Try your best not to break them apart... keep the yolk soft and well...

The next time you make some pie pastry, make some extra, roll it out thin about the size of a medium pizza. Cover it with soft butter, brown sugar and cinnamon... don't be too chinsy with this stuff. Roll it up and bake it (ungreased baking sheet) at about 350 F for about 30 - 40 minutes or...

I live way the heck back in the woods... off the grid on 90 acres. I do have solar power so I could use all the modern gadgets and appliances, but I choose not to. I have all kinds of old (were my grandmother's and great grandmother's) hand beaters, mixers, wooden potato mashers, graters...

Does anyone know how to go about building an outdoor brick oven that I could use for baking bread, pizza... roasting... I want to be able to get the heat up to about 800 F. What type of bricks? Mortar or cement??? I live way off the grid on 90 acres... so there is no worry about driving...

Just found this site... looks great! My favourite type of cooking is the old retro deal... on a wood burning cook stove. I live off-grid, way the hell back in the woods. No electric appliances in my kitchen... Totally rugged! Would love to hear about your wild fish and game, off-grid...
