UPDATE, 12/27/08: I just want to say how happy and flattered I am for all of you who have bought a raffle ticket for this prize: As of this morning, we’ve raised more than $700 for charity! Just a reminder that despite the logo of Menu for Hope, you can still buy raffle tickets up [...]
It has been a year since I began Hunter Angler Gardener Cook. The anniversary crept up on me, but now that it’s here I have been thinking about where things have gone over the past 365 days. For the most part, I’ve lived this past year as I would any other year. I hunt, I [...]
As the winner of last month’s Paper Chef, I get to judge this month’s edition. And unlike the last time I judged, there were plenty of entries this round. A couple were a bit off, but most were good and a few were more than good! The required ingredients were: fresh oregano, chickpeas or chickpea [...]
It is time for the July edition of Paper Chef, the blog contest in which you pit your culinary skill against your fellow foodies in a competition unmatched since the Dawn of Time!!! Whose cuisine will reign supreme? OK, that’s Iron Chef, and they only get an hour to cook. You get nearly a week. [...]

As the winner of last month’s Paper Chef, I get to judge this month’s edition. And while there was a rather shocking dearth of entries — two, in fact — each was definitely up to the Paper Chef standard. The required ingredients were: honey, fennel, prosciutto and fresh favas. Ilva of Lucullian Delights did a [...]
For the two of you who have been on the edge of your seats wondering who won the inaugural Meat & Greet, which asked the food blogosphere to give me your best shot with offal, I apologize. I was off turkey hunting yesterday (it’s the last weekend of the season), and today my server was [...]
Well, since I won last month’s Paper Chef with a dish of wild duck gizzards, wild cottontail rabbit kidneys, an asparagus sauce and a quinoa risotto, I have the honor of announcing this month’s challenge. What’s Paper Chef? Why it’s one of the oldest blog events in the whole food bloggery multiverse, silly rabbit! Mmmm…rabbit…. [...]
