The Harvest Eating Podcast

Show Notes for this episode On today's show, I want to share the method and basics behind a simple soup made with cabbage and a few other basic ingredients. This cabbage soup takes about 45 minutes or so to put together and is a very satisfying dish. It originates in the Alsace region of France where the German border is close and the mix of culinary cultures blend very well together. This part of...

Through the years I have taught people through this podcast, cookbook, videos, tv shows, magazine articles, and in-person culinary demonstrations many different culinary wives' tales or falsehoods. Stuff I was taught and just always did….because…that's the way you do it….. As a young chef training under older more experienced chefs, most of them graduates of European or American culinary instituti...

Visit Harvest Eating In today's episode, I will discuss a basic technique called the "reverse sear" which is basically a low-temperature process to ensure your meats are more evenly cooked instead of overcooked on the outside and rare inside.  If you've ever smoked a pork butt you have used elements of the reverse sear which is low and slow cookery. This method also has the advantage that it lets...

Cultured or inoculated creams like Creme Fraiche have been around for a long, long time in many different cultures. The bacterial culture used differentiates them from each other but they are all what I call "cultured cream". In Mexico is called crema, and it's slightly more viscous, here in the USA we have sour cream, across the pond in the UK they have clotted cream (one of my favs) and there ar...

So many people I speak with say the same thing " I can't recognize this country anymore" and I believe they're right. We currently face so many overlapping challenges that I fear things will get much worse before possibly getting better. I know it's depressing to think about, but we need to address and face these issues to help get through them together and protect our families and NOT be caught o...

Show notes are here! I get a lot of inquiries regarding making mayo or Aoli as it's also referred to. This is so simple and makes a better product than just about all store-bought mayonnaise. While this is basic, the exact same method can be altered by using flavorings such as garlic, lemon zest, fragrant herbs such as dill, tarragon, basil, thyme, etc. The other point which is important to mentio...

While many are focused on the Johnny Depp trial, Monkeypox, or other non-events much of the world, including the United States is entering into what I've coined "The Out Of Stockalypse!" Across most industries, American companies large and small are experiencing out of stocks at a rate never before seen in our history. I cannot understate the colossal challenges we are now facing that will be our...

Visit Keith Snow.com for the show notes and recipe. In today's episode, I share another recipe for bread that is very soft, slightly luscious, and amazing. This is a simple bread that I originally made using boiled potatoes but found that to take a long time and be a pain in the rump. Using potato flakes is much easier and the results are the same. This bread also freezes very well, so I made two...

Show notes here-www.keithsnow.com/episodes/gluten-free-banana-pancakes I've eaten a bunch of gluten-free pancakes, many that I created, some store-bought.

I tried to write a witty and humorous title but this situation is anything but, it's a very serious issue that is life and death for the people involved, both in Ukraine and in Russia.

Show Notes at Keith Snow.com As with most things these days, pet food is in short supply and many retailers have large gaps in their offerings.  Pet food is yet one more way we have outsourced everything only to lose control and become vulnerable to these shortages.
