By Carpe Cibus
05/14/13 03:07
The presentation of a whole broiled fish is quite an impressive sight. Perhaps a little intimidating for some. Wrapped in bacon and you may even forget that dinner is staring at you with mouth a gap in a silent scream. But, oh is this fish so good... The...

Move over wine. It is time to share the culinary platform. Meet the Belgian dubbel. This recipe, as with my previous pancake post, was nudged--nay--pushed along by a recent class on cooking with beer taught by Sean Paxton. The idea had been stewing for...

By Carpe Cibus

Spring, where have you gone? No where near Minneapolis by the look of the snow outside. Such a shame too...right around this time every year the need for fruit tarts hits. Something about the hopeful warm breeze of a pending summer, I suppose. Not so much...

Martha Stewart's Scalloped Potatoes
By Carpe Cibus
04/19/13 22:14
Ham dinners wouldn't be complete without a side of scalloped or au gratin potatoes. I've had mixed luck with these dishes in the past. Often, towards the end of baking the sauce will begin to clump or congeal instead of keeping its creamy consistency. The...

Tangerine-Glazed Ham
By Carpe Cibus
04/17/13 00:33
Ham is an interesting meat. Hickory smoke and salt overwhelm the flavors. A mighty powerful glaze is needed to cut through all of the fat and salt to compliment and play off of the whole. Sweet pairs well with the smokey. And citrus manages to cut through...

By Carpe Cibus
04/14/13 01:53
Hello Spring! We've missed you! How about a cheery cherry cupcake to celebrate? Cherries and almond extract blend together beautifully in this wonderfully, but not overwhelmingly sweet cupcake. And as I'm a sucker for good frosting, and lots of it, I halved...

The Beeroness strikes again. I tagged this recipe a while back, waiting for the ideal smoked or chipotle beer to come my way. Amazingly the two came together in one collaboration between two of our local breweries: Indeed and Northbound Smokehouse. Northbound...

Balsamic Pot Roast
By Carpe Cibus
04/05/13 05:18
Is anything quite as satisfying as a fork tender roast and a heaping pile of garlic mashed potatoes? Of course there is. But on a night like tonight, this pot roast takes center stage. I adore pot roasts in the crock pot. This one had a lovely tang from...

Ginger Curried Chicken with Leeks and Lentils
By Carpe Cibus
04/02/13 02:08
This recipe caught my eye for the combination of curry, leeks and oranges. I was very excited. And about halfway through I realized I could have sent the dish a little more through the roof had I vamped on the curry powder instead of relying on the turmeric-heavy...

Here fishy, fishy, fishy... Yup. Still on a seafood kick. Fish this time. Though I still daydream about those scallops.... This dish came together much more easily than I first anticipated. I opted for tilapia mostly for economy, but sole, flounder or orange...
