Alternatives to Eggs in Recipes

By Drew | Published: March 9, 2009
Recently my wife and I made dinner for a family where one of the children is allergic to eggs. They had a list of substitutions that really surprised me. We used one of those tips to make brownies without eggs. This post won’t have a recipe. It’s reference for future posts where I’ll show some of [...]

Ever Work At A Wing Place?

By Drew | Published: March 9, 2009
We had wings this weekend. The barbecue came out just fine, but the chipotle wasn’t what I was going for. I’ve had a cajun dry rub from a local place, and a chipoltle dry rub at Quaker Steak and Lube. They’re both yummy. I’m trying to come up with something similar but I’m obviously missing [...]

  • Buy the Book



    Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets. You won't find the words lite, low, lean, free or skim anywhere. This is all real food, cooked the way Grandma would have done it.

That's where Starting From Scratch comes in. I'm not saying you'll go from zero to hero just by reading it, but at least now you'll know what those self-proclaimed experts are talking about.
