503-Basic Fermentation, It's All Around You

July 29, 2023 21:16 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

****PLEASE NOTE**** Certain segments of these show notes (the well-written ones) were created with AI. I’ve never used it before but I thought I’d try it. I actually think it’s a bit strange but it’s also rather impressive. I fear that AI will be writing our “news” and “opinion” stories and the sheeple will not even know it. In today’s episode, I’m discussing primary fermentation and the fact that this process is all around us, in many foods and drinks we regularly consume. PLEASE SUPPOR...

502-Eating Clean Food Equals Freedom

June 12, 2023 17:29 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Let me make the following bold statement; every person (or animal) has one thing in common-​eating food is the most important aspect of life, period. With that said I offer the following: Eating clean food is a revolutionary act that in many ways flies in the face of what “they” want you to do. Everywhere you look companies and governments are trying harder and harder to dictate what you eat. Their advice is printed in magazines, in doctor’s offices, on billboards, radio ads, tv ads, pre...

My Love /Hate Relationship W Cast Iron & Carbon Steel Cookware

May 20, 2023 13:22 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

I’ve cooked with just about every pan brand and type there is over the last 3.5 decades I have been cooking seriously, I love some and hate others and today I want to discuss this more in-depth. I own many cast iron pans and pots and also 2 carbon steel pans and one new carbon steel wok. They perform well at times, but need to be cared for in specific ways, and when those care methods are not followed the pans lose their seasoning and are then just heavy paperweights. My French copper is...

499-Perennial Plants, Shrubs and Permaculture-What I wish I knew Earlier

May 02, 2023 15:21 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

Today is a Friday off-the-cuff show and I wanted to chat about perennials and permaculture. Now, right up front, I don’t know much about permaculture, so I am learning as much as possible. I have studied and continue studying soil science and regenerative agriculture, some of which apply here. I am also really excited about perennials and wish I embraced them earlier. Also this year I have started using companion plants to help others nad diversity in general, all good things I belive!  ...

498-Creating For Youtube....Again, My Plans and What To Expect

April 20, 2023 18:29 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MB

I’m a Youtube creator and have been since 2006 if you can believe it. In fact, I was sitting in Florida with a friend and he showed me this new site in the middle of 2005 called Youtube. The trouble was every 4th or 5th video was some sort of pornography. we could not believe that this type of content was freely available to anyone, anytime especially since we both had young children at that time. At the beginning of 2006, I was shooting my barn apartment and posting videos on Youtube made...

497-Korean BBQ Bowl With Quick Pickles and Spicy Mayo Sauce

April 15, 2023 02:25 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MB

I made a Korean BBQ Bowl last night in about 25 minutes of active time and had everything I needed in the pantry or fridge. this is a pretty straightforward dish to put together and the flavors are pretty amazing. For two pounds of meat, I used 2 large green onions, 1/2 a small white onion, 10 garlic cloves. That was the aromatics that made the meat component, those were flavored with a sauce of: rice wine vinegar 2 tbs brown sugar 2 tbs soy sauce 2 tbs Gochujang paste squeeze of lime...

496-What Are They Putting In Our Food?

April 12, 2023 16:48 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MB

Today I am speaking about a subject I am passionate about food labels and additives. While we can't avoid all additives, we can certainly read labels and just say no to food with too many questionable ingredients. A great example is ice cream, I did a story on Instagram yesterday (you are following me right?) whey I showed the label of a “French vanilla” ice cream, it has all the regular ingredients you find in ice cream like milk, cream, eggs, sugar, etc. but also contained many additives...

495-Think, Plan, Cook-Easter Dinner Yet To Be Decided

April 06, 2023 17:58 - 4 minutes - 4.12 MB

I spend a lot of time thinking about food, I’ve been criticized or “ribbed” about this personality flaw by my wife, and several past girlfriends. I am constantly talking about the next meal, or food trends I’m infatuated with, or food products I want to develop. I contemporaneously imagine how food and culture bring people of all nations together and also tear them apart. I picture how to plate up food in my mind by separating the plate into zones and imagining which food will go best in w...

494-This Is How You Make Super Crispy Roasted Potatoes

April 04, 2023 16:18 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MB

This is a quick episode today to explain how I recently made extremely crispy lard roasted potatoes that went alongside a ribeye steak. This “technique” is like many, not my invention and not the invention of the person you might have heard it from before….if that makes sense. So getting right to it first take your fat (lard, olive oil, duck fat, beef tallow) and place in small pot, add about 2 tbs minced rosemary, a few smashed garlic cloves and bring to a simmer…..keep this moving so you...

493-START NOW-Food Storage Bundles That Increase Self Sufficiency Quickly!

April 03, 2023 18:44 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

EPISODE ON HARVEST EATING Let me come right out and say this; we are in very uncertain times in this country. Recently I heard the pathetic treasure secretary attempt to “calm the people down” and convince us the banks are safe. The illegitimate puppet leader said the same thing too, basically, everything is fine, go back to your devices, nothing to see here. However, the banks are vastly undercapitalized, FED reduced the reserve requirement in 2020 to zero %. The BRICS nations are tr...

492-Roasted Broccoli-Everyone Loved it!

March 30, 2023 02:44 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MB

The other night I had some friends and relatives eat dinner with me. I made a simple menu consisting of chicken Cacciatore and roasted broccoli. The broccoli was a huge hit! Just about everyone was busy chomping and crunching up the broccoli and mumbling things about how tasty it was. Here is the trick…..FIND FRESH BROCCOLI! Then, blanch it in a lot of salty water for 2 minutes, and transfer it to ice water. Dry off the broccoli and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper then into a prehe...

491-Mise En Place-Why does it matter?

March 22, 2023 18:38 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

I have mentioned the term “mise en place” before and emphasized how important it is if you plan on becoming a better cook. It means “everything in its place” and is the foundation of the French culinary discipline. Anyone who has worked in a professional kitchen knows this term and uses this discipline daily. The degree to which it’s followed says something about the chef or cook, it allows anyone watching to understand whether or not this person is ready to make a dish in an efficient man...

490-Thinking Like a Chef While Cooking At Home

March 15, 2023 19:11 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

Visit Harvest Eating Today’s show is done at the behest of one of my Telegram subs and is my attempt to let you see how chefs think at work, and at home too. This topic could go in many directions so I hope I did justice to this subject and provided some helpful insight into how I try to process home cooking using my chef background. Some of the things I did not mention on the show were mise en place (everything in its place) or what we chefs refer to as “being ready” for the “pick up”....

489-What Is Gastrique and How Can You use it?

March 10, 2023 23:21 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Link To This Episode Today I’m going to discuss gastrique, an old-school sauce that you hardly see anymore but one that has a ton of potential uses, from sauces to vinaigrettes even for some desserts! Back in Dijon France I once cooked for a group of 17 people some of who were restaurant critics and food photographers. I made a tarragon gastrique to serve over a melon salad as a second course…this blew away the guests who were not expecting this at all, especially at this point during t...

488-A Dream Homestead From A Chef's Perspective

March 08, 2023 19:34 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MB

Visit Harvest Eating Today I wanted to muse about what I would consider the perfect homestead in regard to what could be grown, raised, and eventually preserved or butchered and eaten. This is a complicated topic but one I find useful to discuss as it gets us thinking about what might be important to incorporate into an existing or future homestead as in my case. For me, a homestead is a place that creates much-needed peace and security as well as enjoyable spaces to relax and be in ...

487-The Power of Electrolytes-My Story

February 22, 2023 21:12 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MB

Visit Harvest Eating Now! When it comes to electrolytes I did not know very much until about 8 mos ago. You’d think with my athletic background which spanned the gamut from decades of ice hockey at a serious level, tennis, mountain biking, and even mountain bike racing that I would be familiar with electrolytes, but no. Aside from Gatorade which I hate, I really was not aware that average people, or anyone not a paid athlete, can benefit from electrolyte consumption. I followed the “hea...

February 15, 2023 19:10 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MB

Show note and recipe here In my Make It Yourself series I will show (tell) you how to make common items at home instead of buying them and ingesting seed oils etc. Today I will be talking about tortillas, flour tortillas mostly, but I will touch on corn tortillas also. Flour tortillas are very inexpensive and easy to make plus they can be frozen for later use making it a worthwhile project to explore. Ingredients are simple, flour, salt, lard, that’s it!

485-Sharpening Your Kitchen Knives

February 07, 2023 18:02 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

Visit Harvest Eating Today I am talking about the task of keeping kitchen knives sharp, which is a very important safety and efficiency practice. Let’s be clear, dull knives are dangerous! Many people feel sharp knives are dangerous but they are much safer than attempting to use a dull knife for cutting food. While many devices and contraptions exist to keep knives sharp many are hard to use, even for pros. I have been around kitchen knives since age 14 and likely spend 5-10 hours per...

483-Let's Talk About Seed Oils

January 25, 2023 17:48 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

www.harvesteating.com/podcast-1/483-lets-talk-about-seed-oils Today I discuss the idea that seed oil/ vegetable oil might be bad for us. While the medical authorities and online medical sites tout the “heart-healthy benefits” of polyunsaturated oil like canola, corn, soybean, grape seed, etc. many others (including me) doubt these claims and a groundswell of opposition to seed oils and “vegetable” oils is building. I predict many of your favorite snack foods being cooked in fats such as t...

482-Bolognese Sauce, A versatile and Delicious Italian Favorite.

January 17, 2023 21:35 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MB

Find the recipe for today's show at Harvest Eating Bolognese sauce is a classic Italian recipe for meat sauce. Generally, it contains 3 types of ground meat; beef, veal, and pork. Sometimes the cook will substitute other meats such as wild boar, deer, or other game meats. It is a very thick sauce and is not a tomato sauce but rather a meat sauce that has some tomatoes, or not. Bolognese sauce is typically served with a wide noodle like pappardelle, or fettuccini, or even used to fill las...

481-Making Sauce Bordelaise

January 10, 2023 18:13 - 13 minutes - 12.1 MB

This simple sauce is easy to make and quite delicious with any type of red meat. In my opinion, it's best with roasted and sliced tri-tip steak. However, any cut will benefit from a little bordelaise sauce to dip in. Basic recipe: 1 large finely minced shallot 4 tbsp good butter 2  cups of drinkable red wine 3-4 tbsp beef stock or demi-glace salt and white pepper to taste Recommended Links: Support Harvest Eating Brown Duck Coffee About Chef Keith Snow Some of My Fav...

480-How to Thicken Sauces and Soups

January 05, 2023 20:12 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MB

Visit Harvest Eating RIGHT NOW! Often times while cooking we run into consistency issues with regard to sauces, soups, and other items. The texture is such a key factor in the enjoyment of food so learning some methods to address consistency is a great skill to have. Whether we use a roux, an egg yolk, butter, a slurry of arrowroot, potato starch, or more “sciencey” items like xanthan gum, affecting texture is the key to better cooking. Here are a few items commonly used to thicken ou...

479-Shrimp Cocktail

December 28, 2022 16:22 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MB

Show Notes On Harvest Eating Shrimp cocktail is a wonderful appetizer that is slightly elegant and a bit luxurious too. It usually is found during special parties, holiday parties and for us, a Christmas eve treat! Making it is not difficult but like many things, takes a bit of know-how. The first part is securing wild-caught shrimp. I personally place a “hard stop” on farm-raise seafood, especially shrimp. I can’t fathom how this nasty industry has become so large when the product is pr...
