A last minute decision to cook ribs, almost scuppered by bad weather, but rescued in the end by more conventional cooking means…
Quest for the perfect Neapolitan crust…
Real Naples-style (Neapolitan) pizza is hard to recreate, and a measure of success is what the crust looks like underneath. There are many tools and gadgets in my arsenal to get me there…
Chicago “Hometown” Pizza
Show this to an Italian and the last thing they’d call it is a pizza. Even the locals call this “pie”…but without doubt it’s a delicious pie. No subtlety to this dish…this is cheese, this is tomato SAUCE, and optionally whatever else you want in there. Loaded deep and in a pie crust.
First American Thanksgiving
Well, obviously not THE first American Thanksgiving. That was a Pilgrim Fathers thing, allegedly in 1621. This was all-out Thanksgiving Dinner at our place, complete with turkey and all the trimmings … courtesy of Kamado Joe, family and friends.
The Famous Kellybab
I first came across this recipe in 2017 having seen it on some UK BBQ community pages on social media. The kebab dish is named after its creator – a British lady called “Kelly” and at the time became such a popular recipe on the British sites that the name took hold and has since stuck. We Brits love our kebabs and the spices turn plain chicken into a kind of shawarma flavour…very nice.
It’s Kamado, not Komodo…
11th May 2012…a life changing moment ? Not quite, but close. Not as important as the birth of my kids or meeting my wife, well maybe. This was the day I came face to face with Kamado Joe for the first time.
