Stumptown Savoury feature traditional recipes interspersed with improvisational and artisanal cooking techniques and descriptions.
Now that I have chickens, I’ve been thinking how good Eggs Benedict would taste with hollandaise made using really fresh eggs. Eggs Benedict requires Canadian bacon, of course, which means I needed to refer to Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman &a (read full article)
Like many cooks, I’ve heard about cooking sous vide (under vacuum), but not tried it because the necessary equipment is a bit expensive for experimenting. Fortunately for me, I’m the Culinary Expert at my local Williams-Sonoma, and I had (read full article)
This is one of those multiple-step recipes that I really hate to post, but it’s just too good not to. Tomato Chutney 1 orange pepper (capsicum) roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1 Walla Walla sweet onion (or other sweet onion) chopped and c (read full article)

The elder of the two Ladies of Stumptown Savoury skips egg production once about every ten days, then makes up for it a day or two later with a really large egg that has two yolks. I have no idea how she manages to walk after laying such a large egg (read full article)
That glistening, dark river of sauce on the ice cream is made with balsamic vinegar. Not just any balsamic, of course, but a Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar from Benessere, an oil and vinegar store in downtown Portland. Coffee and chocolate are an e (read full article)
Time for an update, I think. The weather in Portland has been wet. Not wet like most years, but rainy almost every day until the last week or so. Wet as in we already had more rain by June 4 than we usually have in the entire month. Wet as in basil c (read full article)
Let’s be clear about one thing right from the start: store-bought bacon is not going to be satisfactory. You have to make your own. And don’t waste time with any apples called “Delicious” because they aren’t. Use Pink L (read full article)
If you have extra rosemary in the garden–if you have rosemary there’s always extra–or you want to make jelly but don’t have pectin, this simple jelly will work well for you. I used young, mild rosemary so if you’re usin (read full article)
I’ll miss you, buddy. You were a great friend and a joy to be around. (read full article)
One of the Ladies of Stumptown Savoury laid a larger than normal egg (on the left). She’s done this before. The egg is about twice the normal size, weighs about twice as much, and will have a double yolk. A three-egg omelet from two eggs– (read full article)
Some of us don’t have room for a garden, but almost everyone has room for a container or two. I decided I should grow some things in containers to prove to myself that it’s worthwhile. I have three containers planted, and am already enjo (read full article)
It’s June already. Time to start putting up the harvest, beginning with herbal jellies. You’ll need some basic equipment to make jellies that you’ll be able to use for other preservation projects. If you don’t already have a (read full article)
As always on Memorial Day, I remember fallen friends and comrades, especially my best buddy, Brian John Bennett, who died saving his squad. (read full article)
A mustard recipe was requested, I’m teaching a class on making Burgers this weekend, and I just happen to have some Guinness and two kinds of mustard seeds sitting around. Let’s make some mustard. It’ll only take two or three days. (read full article)
After cracking open this first egg from The Ladies of Stumptown Savoury I am redefining “fresh” as it applies to eggs. Note how thick the inner white is, how the yolk is tall and well-defined. This egg was opened less than 2 hours after (read full article)
Six children in California got sick. Because all six happened to consume legally-purchased raw milk, the largest raw milk dairy in California was temporarily shut down even though there was no evidence that raw milk actually caused the illnesses. At (read full article)
Honestly, the third day of cooking was probably unnecessary. I could have just eaten these short ribs on the second day, but I wanted fresh noodles rather than mashed potatoes and I just didn’t have the time to make noodles, so they got an ext (read full article)
A former comrade-in-arms messaged me recently because his daughter had decided to go all organic and he wondered whether it was worth the extra cost. Good question. Let’s start with that extra cost issue, because it’s important. The first (read full article)
I haven’t managed a new post for awhile so I thought I would share a few notes about what’s happening in my life at the moment. Maybe you’ll accept this as a valid excuse. I hope so. Firstly, my teaching load is heavier. Most weeks (read full article)
