Experience from the Source Upon my return from the Czech Republic, the one thing I would bring back is a good beer-induced recipe that would make your American panties wet. I believe I have found a recipe that embodies the flavors of the Czech Republic with the beer-braised Pork Knuckle. My first experience came from…
Staropramen White Bread
Heart of Prague While abroad in Prague, it would be silly of me not to partake in this city’s local wells. Staropramen holds a special place in my heart as I indulged in both light and dark lagers while shoveling down some pork knee and stinky cheeses. Located in Prague 5, this beer evolved with the…
Pilsner Urquell Peach Beer Bread
A Brew Made in 1842 There haven’t been too many posts lately, mainly because I am in Prague, Czech Republic, the nation that created the Pilsner. Now this website is dedicated to baking with craft beers. So why bake with a macro brewery? There is so much innovation happening in the craft brew scene, but…
Red Rocket Beer Mac and Cheese
The Hoppy Bear Comes into Play Finally I made some mac and cheese a couple of months ago and loved it. The only regret I had was that I didn’t add beer to the mix. I grew up with a great disdain for mac and cheese, mainly because of Easy Mac. I have too much…
Punkin Around: Pumpkin Pub Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Tired of Pumpkin Yet? Has Pumpkin overwhelmed your pallet. Don’t overload just yet. We still have November ahead of us. However, lets move away from bread this week and focus on something a little sweeter. These pub cakes are inspired by a recipe I have been eyeballing for some time now. Let’s modify it and…
Punkin Around: French Toast With Punkin Ale White Bread
Punkin Around with Old Bread It is that time of the week where old bread is starting to get stale. So naturally, I cooked with. I am a firm believer in using everything if possible. Last week, I made some Punkin Ale White Bread. Subtle in pumpkin flavor, I think this bread would make great…
Punkin Around: Punkin Bread
The Time Has Come October is here. It is that time of year where the weather is still in the nineties, your air conditioner doesn’t have to be on until 3pm, and the pool is still an option. Clearly autumn in Southern California is an anomaly compared to most of the world during this time….
Dead Red Okra
Breading and Baking I am a big fan of coconut oil and fats. Maybe a little too much. Pan frying is my thing. But when a fourteen fluid ounce jar of oil is half devoured after a week of purchase, it is time to take a break from frying and start baking. Okra and cod has been…
Chateau Jiahu Grapefruit Cupcakes
Cupcakes Made With Ancient Beer A couple weeks back, I discussed Beerology and the history of home brewing. In fact they are still open and are even hosting a Bierfest of their own. In the exhibit, they explained the process of making what is considered the first brewed beer. Over ten thousand years ago in…
Dead Red Ale Bread
Seasonal Beers are Upon Us! It is that time of the year where seasonal beers begin to pop up. For the next couple of months we will have pumpkin spiced everything shoved down our faces, and I myself will enjoy every moment of it. In the next few weeks, I plan on creating various pumpkin breads…
