So, I like all the recipes here on An Eat’n Man. Otherwise
I wouldn’t have cooked them, photographed them and then presented them to you
in this handy blog format. But, like
anyone, there are certain dishes that I find myself going back to again and
again over the years. And so, I guess I
would have to say these are my favorites of my own recipes.
A while back I made a page for the most popular recipes here
at An Eat’n Man, the ones that get the most hits. And so, I thought it would be fun to make a
list of the ones that are the biggest hits with yours truly. So I’ve picked out a little over a dozen—a sweet
sixteen, in fact—and present them forthwith for your dining pleasure. A couple are what I might call my signature
dishes—recipes that I make and consider my best. Some are just favorites that I enjoy over and
over, and a couple are perhaps rare extravagances that I don’t make a lot, but
I’m quite proud of.
And so, here they are, in no particular order: The Eat’n Man’s favorite recipes.
This was a recipe that I just made up on the fly one day
when someone brought me a really nice breast of duck. It turned out to be a hit, and I’ve made it
several more times to great acclaim.
This is one of those signature dishes I mentioned. I’ve spent over twenty years perfecting my
brisket technique, and this is more than a recipe, but instead a full treatise
on how I smoke my briskets.
Signature dish numero two-o. It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving or Christmas
without these spuds, originally inspired by Babe’s Chicken House, though now I believe
this recipe beats them at their own game.
One of those extravagances that I don’t do a lot, but
when I do, there’s nothing else like it for flavor and presentation.
Another signature dish of mine that I spent many moons
perfecting after trying a spectacular example in Lyon, France.
This quirky
little dish is great pub-grub, and just fun to make.
An unusual dish that I discovered in a little paperback
Italian cookbook I got back in my bachelor days. It became a date night favorite.
Who knew beets could tastes soooo good.
My all time favorite dish at Macaroni Grill, which they
serve no more, but I still do.
As fun to say as it is to eat, this German cutlet with
mushrooms is ser gut.
This one took me forever to perfect, and it’s a chore to
make, but well worth it.
The most heavenly and decadent potato dish you’ll ever
eat.
My signature chili recipe, perfect on a cold winter’s
day.
Perhaps the perfect way to serve veal, or even chicken, this
was once another date night favorite.
A little Dutch-style salmon treat.
Scallops are great on their own, but they’re even better
in this gussied up French recipe.
So there you have it, some of my favs from the blog that I go to time and again. Give 'em a try, and let me know what you think.
Until next time,
Chris
