Duxelles Dreams Spawn The Shooter Sandwich

Fun with shrooms and a vintage Food Network memory

What does insomnia and two fat British ladies have to do with a Frankenstein-like mashup the Epic Mealtime guys would be proud to call their own? It's called the shooter's sandwich, and it stars a mushroom mix you should definitely get in on. Your turkey club cowers in fear.

When Sausage Met Potato: 5 Ways With Bangers and Mash

Ideas for sausages and potatoes when it gets cold

There's one dish I can't force myself to eat in the hot weather, but the second it starts hammering giant wet snowflakes blown sideways by a "refreshingly" frigid damp wind, it's time to break out my variations on bangers and mash. I love our classic recipe with crispy pork sausages and caramelized onion gravy, but as can be expected, I get bored with it pretty quickly and move on. Here's how I do it.

A Food Writer Can Hate Marmite, OK?

A traditional English breakfast is a meal that’s very easy and quick to prepare, cook and clean up; and it’s ideal to make for brunch while you’re watching shuttlecocks get swatted across your television.
