Ken Forkish’s book is wonderful, but I agree about the starter.

Another good resource is The Perfect Loaf. I’ve learned a lot from both of them.

This explains a lot.

So, so good! One thing I like is to throw in a mix of fresh jalapeños and some pickled jalapeños, plus some of the pickled jalapeño brine. It's almost like Chuy's green sauce.

ETA: Mixing up herbs is also fun!

This is the eternal question asking if a hot dog is a sandwich.

Basic recipe, please? That looks fantastic.

Pasta with vodka sauce and homemade ricotta. Comfort food.

Everyone's submissions look absolutely amazing!

I score the fat cap and then liberally salt and let it sit in the fridge overnight on a rack. Then go low and slow on the grill and serve with chimichurri. It's an excellent, flavorful cut for a good price.

Our local grocery story had Snake River Farms American Wagyu culotte steaks last week, which were insanely good.

Long time F&D lurker, first time caller!

This is a good, basic recipe for Irish stew. I like making it with lamb and homemade beef stock, personally, and adding in parsnips or turnips too.
Beef & Guinness Stew

As someone else mentioned, it’s great for beer-battered fish and chips. I also like using it for beer-battered fried veggies (mushrooms are my personal favorite, but also green beans, onion rings, etc.)

Another goodie is Guinness chocolate cake… although now I’m thinking my cake needs Guinness caramel on it!
