About me

I have eaten and cooked almost every cuisine around the Mediterranean and the adventure continues. I am more to the 'comfort food' (with a touch of fusion) side of the kitchen than the molecular gastronomy or haute cuisine side.

As a Research Chef, I experiment with, and spin off of great approaches to the tried and true recipes I find, working to incorporate as many elements as possible from my tidy piece of paradise in Michigan - Walnut Ridge Farm - into products for Walnut Ridge Farm Foods, Inc.

My line of unique and exciting condiments - SouthWest Brand Pepper Sauces - is on the market. Email me to learn more at [email protected] and at http://swbpeppersauce.com I'd love to hear from you!

For me, food is a special dialect - the language of it's people.

We nourish, sustain, excite, stimulate and bring joy into the world by our efforts in the kitchen and by sharing the fruits (vegetables and meats) of our labors.

My motto is: "cooking well is it's own reward". www.facebook.com/ChefAmosMiller
& www.facebook.com/WalnutRidgeFarmFoodsInc 'LIKE' me there!

I started working on Think With Your Taste Buds - Chicken but decided to let the readers have the recipes for free so I list them on my site. When time permits I want to do TWYTB - Pork, etc.

Again thank you!!!!

Merry Christmas Amos!

I was interested to see g your quote from Clementine Paddleford, I've just finished reading a book about her that I acquired at a church sale. Had never heard of her - and as a dedicated foodie and recipe book\collector could not help but wonder why. I am , after all, 75 years old.

Chef Amos, I just came across your meyer lemon marmalade and boy it made me drool. I am a lover of citrusy (if there is any such word) home-made marmalade...thanks for sharing.
Will try and message you soon (only if I manage to get meyer lemons at this time of the year)
Cheers.
Cecelia Heer

Great recipes, Chef.
I really enjoy reading your recipes and how you illustrate preping and executing them.
How did you get the photos to show up step-by-step for individual recipes? I didn't see any special instructions on how to do this via CES.

  Hi, Cecelia - I feel compelled to respond to a woman wielding two cleavers! Regarding the photos, there were no instructions, per se, for adding them - when I posted a recipe I added the first photo with the posting. Then when the recipe is published, I just clicked on the 'add a photo' under that first one and found I could add three at a time, then caption each one and re-publish. You can post none, 1, or as many as you wish that way. Let me know if this helps. And it is great to connect with you and communicate - I hope we can continue! best regards, Amos

    Thank you, Chef Amos, for your response. I will certainly try this. I'm "tech-nav-vy rather than tech sav-vy" ... but I can cook fish! : ) ... Looking forward to more of your recipes. Thanks, again, Cecelia

Hi,

I was reading about the German Rye Bread you reviewed. My oven really sucks in this place and it only heats to 450. I think the thermometer is going sometimes. I would love to back into baking bred as its been years. This sounds like a good one.
Jed Gibbons

I found that the second method of boiling an egg works great. The yoks are always done just right and no ring around the yolk. Thanks

Found you, Amos! Glad I can follow your recipes. :)

I haven't cooked anything Ethiopian in over a year, but I will again eventually. And when I do I'll post a recipe or two. I have only made Injera twice, once successfully. The second time we had to rush out and get Na'an to sub.
Organic Cocktail Recipes

Been following your desert recipes. My favorite is the carrot cake. Thanks so much for sharing.

The nice thing is that bruising is not an issue with garlic, so the violent shaking has absolutely no effect except to get one of the kitchen's time-consuming tasks out of the way. However, I urge that you NOT attempt this with your blanched tomatoes...
Jed Gibbons

Sort of like Shaken Garlic Syndrome??? That Garlic trick is so cool. I'm gonna try that! For someone to come up with that it must have taken someone pretty fed up and teed off and finally just shook he s--- out of the garlic.
