Now, my brother is an absolutely brilliant cook, but I don’t know if he has enough good ideas to make his restaurant sparkle and shine. That’s why I’m trying to convince him to let me be his partner in crime; if I can create the design and layout for everything, I think that he could really get people to try and love his food. I mean, I know that most people will love it, it’s just a matter of getting people to bite, no pun intended. For example, he just wants to have a basic menu in a basic font that lists the items and the prices. I told him that he has to try to grip these people with fun descriptions and accurate pictures of his delicious work. Food can be an art as well as a necessity, and I want to get a restaurant menu creator to make him an amazing menu.

For Barbecue Enthsuasts, Weber has created the Genesis Series collection of weber grills. These genesis series weber grills are designed to look really great and stylish and are also large enough to accommodate food for a very large number of people. The genesis series weber grills are available to be bought in a variety of different colors. These weber grills have a lot of features that come along with them such as an individually controlled ignition system to allow the burners to be lit by themselves. This feature as well as weber’s fuel efficiency technology that can be found in pretty much all of their series models, make sure that these genesis series grills are extremely economical. Also, the mounted control panels in the fron t of the grill, means that they are also very easy to use. So these genissi series grills are a great option for newie grillers.

This is one of those Christmas recipes that requires very little in the way of preparation- however, knocking up a batch of eggnog before you begin the rest of the cooking could make the turkey preparation go by so much quicker!

To make egg nog you’ll need six free range eggs (they don’t have to be free range, but come on! Think of the poor chickens!) two pints of whole milk and two ounces of caster sugar. You will also need a split vanilla pot, 20 fresh cherries with the stones removed, some cocoa powder and of course, 200ml/7fl oz of brandy!

To make the eggnog, put the milk and eggs together with the sugar and the vanilla pod in a pan, then heat it gently, not letting it reach boiling point. The mixture you’ve made should thicken up, eventually to the point where you can use it to coat the back of a spoon. You can chill this to use later, or, instead, serve it up right now.

Take some glasses and scatter the cherries at the bottom of each. Then add the key ingredient- the brandy. Pour your mixture over the top of the cherries and brandy, springing cocoa over the top. Drink, and repeat until festive.

I just got a cool new app. My friend Jo Anne showed it to me after she got back from Culinary School in Seattle. Of course she is a big fan of seafood and her family prepares a lot of seafood dishes in their fancy Italian restaurant. That is where I met her when I was going to high school and washing dishes so that I could pay for my auto insurance. The app is called Fishmonger and you can use it to figure out how to butcher and prepare a bunch of different types of fish, of course I am already familiar with most of the fish and the techniques which it shows, and Jo Anne probably knew all of them and more. It is still cool, but of course I just have spent a lot of time working on fancy fish dinners and it would have been very difficult for them to make something that was very useful to me and not completely over the head of most people.
