Video: October 2018 Recipe Tastings

J. DeweyLeave a comment

This month we sample paella, delicata squash rings with an herb buttermilk dip, scones, and poached pears–plus our signature cocktail, of course!

Chef Tim got busy (especially for a Thursday night) with four recipes from the October 2018 issue of Better Homes & Gardens: the delicata squash rings with an herb buttermilk dip, chicken and pork paella, poached pears, and classic scones. Rob paired these with a new cocktail, which we’ve dubbed a Pum-mosa: cava (Freixenet in this case, because it’s easy to find) and Roundhouse Pumpkin King Cordial. It’s an autumnal take on a mimosa…but it’s also very similar to hard cider. So if you’re a fan on that…

Watch and see our reactions to each dish, and stay for the playful banter between Chef Tim and cohost Rob.

Video: September 2018 Recipe Tasting

Could Be Better’s Rob Conlon and J. Dewey sample the coconut-chia oat crisp recipe from the September 2018 issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine, and Rob creates a signature cocktail inspired by the global flavors and colors throughout the issue and the special feature about chocolate.

If you don’t have the magazine, you can find the recipe on the BHG website here.

Once again, Tim Lawton did an excellent job with the recipe. He also tried the French chocolate mousse recipe, but we seriously think there was something off about that recipe because it didn’t turn out quite like we all thought it would. We may try it again and see how we can do better.

Go behind the scenes with us when we recorded the June 2018 episode. Here, we discuss the South Carolina garage converted to a beach house, as featured in the June 2018 issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine (page 60). But who is the unnamed man in the photoshoot? We also discuss a new product for our new as-yet-only-fantasized-about lifestyle brand inspired by Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James line.

Everything’s coming up roses! At least, everything in Chef Tim’s kitchen as we try out a few recipes from the June 2018 issue. While on a quick Memorial Day weekend getaway to Provincetown, MA, we sampled the feature recipe from the Roses Parade article (page 134), the rose and pink peppercorn donut tea cakes. These moist, gently-flavored cakes have a cream cheese glaze and beautiful rose petal and peppercorn “sprinkles.” We also sipped on a rose syrup cocktail, juiced to the max with grapefruit juice and a healthy dose of vodka, of course. Check out the video on our YouTube channel and get a preview of our upcoming June 2018 episode, coming to your podcast feed soon.
