Food media first talked about Coffee Flour as a speciality product in 2015 and it’s just landed at Trader Joe’s, as part of a caffeine-fueled blitz of coffee-flavored products. I like the idea of coffee flour, but I’m just not sure it’s actually necessary if you’re able to cook and bake with wheat flour. In…
Need a jolt? Head to Trader Joe's. Following last year's mango madness, Trader Joe's is back with a cavalcade of sweet and savory coffee-flavored products, from coffee flour to caramel macchiato yogurt and ancho chile chicken sausages with ground coffee. The item that everyone's bound to go ga-ga over is the mocha-flavored version of Trader Joe's…
Tillamook recently released a new line of “super premium” ice cream, frozen custard and gelato with flavors including Salted Caramel Toffee, California Pistachio, TCHO Double Dark Chocolate, Marionberry Cheesecake, and Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee. And with their recent shift to putting “real food” first, the ingredient lists are remarkably straight forward.
I'm slowly but surely making my way…
Coffee is no casual thing in Athens. While you can stop in at a coffee shop for an icy espresso freddo on your way to work, there are other times, when having a coffee means you'll be staying awhile. At Mokka Coffee in Athens, on a gritty street near Omonia Square, the baristas brew classic…
Other than the sunshine that appeared unexpectedly, one of the best things about our weekend in Vancouver, BC was the coffee. Not surprising, right? The wet, chilly weather that dominates the PNW most of the year makes mass coffee consumption a given. What that weather doesn’t require is local roasting and attention to detail in every step of the coffee brewing process. And that’s what you get at Revolver in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood.
Who doesn’t love a good list? The DailyMeal just came out with the 101 best pizzas in America, and as you might expect, roughly one-third of them came from New York state. In its analysis, The DailyMeal says, “…most of America’s best pies are still in New Haven, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Phoenix.” {record scratch} Phoenix?
Pizzeria Bianco’s Marinara pie ranked THIRD overall on the list, single-handedly putting Phoenix on this pizza map.
Over the last year, Wolf has been on a mission to get back in shape and now he's been doing various half marathons and triathalons. As his diet shifted from calorie restricted to training, one of the most surprising transformations is that his palate seems to have changed as well. I used to be the only java junkie in the house, the one who fangirled over Blue Bottle coffee and sought out Stumptown Stubbies in the summer. And now, I’m not alone.
Waffles don’t show up too often here, despite the blog being called DailyWaffle. Around our house, they get inhaled before they can be captured with anything other than iPhone. So this is big, and if we’re going big, we’re not bringing your average Sunday morning waffles. These are Blue Bottle liege waffles – the ones…
It felt good to be back in the kitchen this week. And it felt good to switch gears and really get into some cool-weather cooking. We're already in our pattern of rainy (or overcast) days and we're barely getting into the 60s. But I can't complain, it's time to break out the sweaters and turn on the oven. That's why this week's project was Lisa Fain's Coffee-Chipotle Brisket from The Homesick Texan Cookbook
. I can already tell this book will get a place of honor in the kitchen and that some other is going to get kicked down to our bookcases downstairs.
Paging through Lisa Fain's The Homesick Texan Cookbook
, I immediately thought, I'll just start at page one and cook my way through...but then I caught sight of the coffee-chipotle brisket...which bakes in the oven for 6 hours and then is slathered in coffee-chipotle barbecue sauce. I mean, does it get better than that? I'll go back to the beginning another time.
