Barbecue sauce is tomato based, a nice red colour and has a lot of sweetness, right? Wrong according to many people. There are vinegar, mustard and mayonnaise sauces. I’m sure there are many others. This is my version of a white, mayonnaise based sauce from Alabama. Continue reading Alabama Q Sauce
In my prior post, I made OFG Biscuits. A good biscuit needs gravy and the best gravy for biscuits is Sausage Gravy. Let’s make some! Continue reading Sausage Gravy
Koss Sauce is a new home based business that produces home made Barbecue Sauce in Virginia. I found it in social media and bought a bottle. I reviewed my initial impressions in this link, Koss Sauce.
I wanted to try the last of my first bottle on some back ribs. There was a problem, I had two racks of ribs and only enough sauce left for one rack. I decided to do a head to head comparison with one of my favourite commercial sauces, Sweet Baby Ray’s. We were in for a rib off! Continue reading Koss Sauce Versus Sweet Baby Ray’s – The Rib Off
I see all kinds of products online and social media. I caught wind of a new sauce that was being produced by a family from Virginia. It promised to be less sweet than regular barbecue sauce. I love trying products that are different and I really want there to be more small business productions of food to get more variety in what is available. I ordered my first bottle of Koss Sauce. Continue reading Koss Sauce, Product Review
I will start this post by apologizing to every Korean cook out there. I love the flavour profile of Korean food and have brought a lot of my favourite flavours into this dish. However, I suspect no one in Korea has ever made anything like it. This is just my homage to the great taste of Korean food. Continue reading Korean Glaze
I was getting together with friends on a trip to watch a football game. We had rented a house and we wanted to stay in for a meal. I needed something I could make at home, carry in the cooler and would be good reheated. I immediately thought of Spaghetti and Meatballs. They are always better the next day. Continue reading Spaghetti & Meatballs
OK, they haven’t made a commercial barbecue sauce that is good as my home made. However, that is unfair. When I make my barbecue sauce I have made it to meet my tastes. If I want it sweeter or spicier, I just add more of some ingredients. I am just going to like my own better. Continue reading Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce Product Review
I grow my own garlic. This comes with some blessings and a problem. Of course, you get a great tasting garlic with a firmness and texture that is vastly superior to the rubbery garlic sold in supermarkets. You also get tasty garlic scapes, the long stems in the centre of the garlic plant that are delicious in stir fries and pesto. The problem is you get a lot of garlic scapes if you grow enough garlic for a year like I do. Continue reading Garlic Scape Vinegar
I made Teriyaki Sauce for the third of the sauces I made for my community TV show. I love Teriyaki Sauce with its sweet, salty and sour notes. It goes well as a marinade for meat or fish and makes a great sauce on wings or burgers. Continue reading Teriyaki Sauce
The second sauce I made for the sliders episode of my community TV show is Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. This sauce is great on a chicken sandwich, chicken wings or as a dip for cooked shrimp. Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
