DnA Foodcast Episode 38: Puerto Rican Shrimp Soup

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:01:33 +0000

This week’s recipe isn’t so much a soup as it is more a kind of dirty rice concoction backed by plump shrimp and hearty potatoes. One thing is certain about our pal Shimmy’s recipe: you won’t walk away without a full belly and pleasant disposition afterward. [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 37: Pepper Goat Veggie Sandwiches

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:01:49 +0000

This recipe comes from Alex C, a quick and easy pepper-based open-face concoction packing the flavor and crunch. Think of it as a variation on the traditional bruschetta — instead of predominant tomato taste, you’ve got peppers, garlic and creamy, smooth goat’s cheese. Enjoy!

DnA Foodcast Episode 36: Mac and Cheese

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:01:52 +0000

We’ll be honest: this week’s show is kind of a train wreck. Nobody gets hurt, mind you, there’s just a complete lack of proper instruction. Alexander and Dave are pretty lost when trying to prepare this recipe from Dave’s Aunt Beth. Then the panic sets in — luckily for them (and hopefully you, too!) the [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 35: Easy Chili

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:01:05 +0000

This week, the boys tackle Richard’s Easy Chili recipe, a dish that sounds as easy as it’s titled. In short, it’s a bunch of great fresh ingredients dumped into a pot and left to simmer in their own juices. It’s like a piping hot sauna of delicious with a little chili powder kick.Cook along with [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 34: Jalapeno Poppers

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:01:37 +0000

This week’s recipe comes courtesy of Dave’s cousin, Kristen. It’s a different take on the traditional Jalapeno Poppers recipe — no frying, no breading and an addition of parmesan cheese and crumbled sausage help this variation stand out. If you’re anything like Alexander, you’ll be in love after your first bite. [iTunes] Click to subscribe [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 33: Chicken Cordon Bleu

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:01:04 +0000

This week, the guys prepare a super gooey, comforting dish submitted by listener Stephanie S.: Chicken Cordon Bleu. Alexander and Dave take different approaches to the recipe originating from Stephanie’s grandmom, but in the end the road only leads to one place: Delicioustown. Population: Ham, Cheese, Chicken and Us! Enjoy! [iTunes] Click to subscribe to [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 32: Bobotie

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 05:01:16 +0000

This week, the guys prepare a Scott family recipe: the Bobotie. Frankly, we thought it was a made-up word, but it’s actually a South African spin on the classic Shepherd’s Pie recipe. It’s meaty, curry goodness delicious that you lay over rice. Sounds good, right? [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [Zune] [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 31: Potage le Magnifique of Skyrim

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:01:44 +0000

Come, weary travelers, and stop a spell. This week on the DnA Foodcast we tackle The Gourmet’s signature recipe, Potage le Magnifique. If you’re kinda lost, The Gourmet isn’t so much a person as a virtual person in a video game — specifically, Bethesda’s latest game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s kind of become [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 30: Spaghetti Sauce

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 05:01:52 +0000

You know, we all take sauce for granted. Whether it comes from a jar or fully seasoned out of a can, it seems we’ve become content with popping a top and dumping sludge on our pasta, calling it a day. Well, not anymore; not the DnA Foodcast. Amanda P.’s hearty sauce is stacked with sweet [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 29: Chess Bars

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:01:25 +0000

We don’t really discover why Justin McElroy’s Chess Bars recipe is called that, but one thing we can agree on is that this delicious, danish-like recipe is trying to kill us. Surely, man was not meant to taste the nectar of the gods. [Ingredients and recipe] [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 28: Pecan Pie

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:20:35 +0000

Believe it or not, this week’s recipe for pecan pie might be the easiest thing in the world to make. Also, believe it or not, we got the recipe from the back of a corn syrup bottle. [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [Zune] Click to subscribe to the podcast in Zune [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 27: Chica Chiles

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:01:30 +0000

Robert M’s hearty casserole-like recipe will please any fan of simple, hearty Latin cuisine. Chica Chiles is a gooey, delicious stack of tortilla, meat, beans, cheese and other goodies. What you see in the picture above on the right is what you’d find underneath that layer of melted cheese on the left. Enjoy! [iTunes] Click [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 26: Baker’s Dozen Review Deux

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:44:32 +0000

You guys know the drill: it’s been another 12 recipes, so it’s time we did another Baker’s Dozen Review! Alexander and Dave go over the previous 12 dishes, discussing some of their favorites and the ones that have affixed themselves permanently into their lives. Enjoy!

DnA Foodcast Episode 25: Grandma’s Banana Cake

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 04:01:46 +0000

This week, we get kosher (or, at least, try… it isn’t easy). Anyway, we get back to baking with this delicious, potentially kosher banana cake, submitted by Nan in Florida. It’s a super simple dish that everybody should have in their back pocket as a quick dessert… or breakfast. We support desserts for breakfast. It’s [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 24: Rigatoni alla Carbonara

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 04:01:41 +0000

This week, we tackle John P’s Rigatoni alla Carbonara, a simple little dish that takes almost no time to prepare. It’s not a saucy Italian dish — it’s muted and deceptively simple to prepare. Oh, best part: you can eat it right out of the pot. [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 23: Not-Regular Rice Krispie Treats

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:01:45 +0000

This week, Alexander and Dave tackle John L’s self-professed odd Rice Krispie Treats recipe, one that doesn’t have the traditional marshmallow innards. Instead, it’s all about rich, creamy peanut butter, some melted chocolate and a bit of butterscotch. Treat yourself to the latest DnA Foodcast via your preferred method below! [iTunes] Click to subscribe to [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 22: Quickie Quiche

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:01:50 +0000

You’re pressed for time, but you want to look like you put some real effort into dinner. Enter: Quickie Quiche, a recipe Alexander got back in college from the girl across the hall. It’s almost a blank canvas — with just a few core ingredients, you can feel free to deviate from the plan and [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 21: Spanakopita

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:01:21 +0000

This week, Alexander and Dave tackle a staple of Greece, a tasty spinach-and-feta-filled dough concoction the locals call Spanakopita. It was sent in by Ben from North Carolina, whose own variation on the classic recipe incorporates bacon. As you can imagine, we’re on board. Give the episode a listen via one of the delivery methods [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 20: Pepper Burger

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 04:01:15 +0000

What’s more American than a burger? Well, this isn’t your normal burger — inside, it hides layers of onions, peppers and so much flavor. It’s the perfect meal for the fan of spicy foods in your life. (Or, the perfect meal to serve your most wussy enemy.) [Ingredients & Recipe] Make this meal yourself! [iTunes] [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 19: Crab Crumpets

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:01:58 +0000

This week’s recipe comes to us from Alexander’s aunt, Christine. It’s also a very special episode for Dave, because he’s found his most perfect food on this planet: imitation crab meat. Try it for yourself in the Crab Crumpets, an easy-to-prepare-and-enjoy recipe! Just make sure the imitation crab meat makes it into the recipe and [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 18: Teriyaki Ribs

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:01:34 +0000

It’s a short show this week because this recipe for teriyaki ribs, submitted by Tyler C., has been our easiest recipe yet. It requires 24 hours of simply marinating the meat. Then cook it in your preferred method (BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE TOASTER OVEN) and pig out — get it? Pig out! These ribs [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 17: Potato Salad (Bjorkman Style)

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:28:44 +0000

Our latest episode continues the summer trend of cool, creamy goodness — and, more importantly, not having to cook! It’s potato salad, Bjorkman Style, submitted to us by our pal Ian McC. Enjoy! [Ingredients & Recipe] Make this meal yourself! [iTunes] Click to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes [Zune] Click to subscribe to the [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 16: Ceviche

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 04:01:38 +0000

This week, we cook something without actually cooking it. Er, actually, it is cooked, in a sense — we just ditch the oven for another cool summer treat: the Ceviche! It’s a tasty dish that’s sure to impress company, just maybe let them try it before you told them how you “cooked” it. [Ingredients & [...]

Potato Salad (Bjorkman Style) on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:57:23 +0000

Dave has one weakness: mayo. It doesn’t even matter that this delicious potato salad recipe from Ian McC. doesn’t even have any mayo in it. See, in Dave’s mind: potato salad = mayo. Anyway, Dave participated from afar in this episode, while Alexander cooked and got himself burned! Yup, it’s a tension filled show. Hardware: [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 15: Whatever-Berry Sponge Cake

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 04:01:04 +0000

It’s full-on summer out there right now, guys — don’t bother to check; just take our word for it. The heat very well may burn you up alive! Instead, we suggest trading the heat of the scorching sun for the far-less lethal heat of the oven as we do some light baking in the latest [...]

Ceviche on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:53:03 +0000

“Ceviche tipico” if far and away the most exotic dish we’ve made on the foodcast. Given to us by John C., a totally legit chef, required some extra effort on our part — stumbling along the way — but it was well worth learning how to make this refreshing dish and experiencing “Leche de Tigre”! [...]

Whatever-berry Sponge Cake on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:58:29 +0000

Why is it so hot? We’re gonna try to stay cool on the DnA Foodcast for a little bit, starting with next week’s “Whatever-berry” sponge cake. The base is a sponge cake, topped with whip cream and whatever berries you want. Strawberries? Sure! Blueberries? Why not! Grapes? Whatever! Hardware: Deep circular dish. 2.5 qt/2.3 liter. [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 14: Crepes

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:01:28 +0000

We’re back to our weekly schedule! In our latest episode, we tackle Greg M’s crepes (or crêpes) — no, they’re not just thin pancakes from France. Crepes have a storied legacy all their own (which we in no way get into) and deserve to be treated with respect. And jam. Lots of jam… and Nutella. [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 13: Baker’s Dozen Review

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 04:01:06 +0000

Has it really been 12 dishes already? It seems like just yesterday we were a podcast of two dudes with a crazy dream. In a new audio feature, we’re going to recount those 12 dishes and how they’ve changed our lives — it’s been a wild ride that’s seen us prepare ricist chicken, microwaved chicken [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 12: Rice Bake

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 04:01:11 +0000

Rice is a versatile food — this much we can all agree on. So when Timo and Ines submitted their recipe for Rice Bake, a casserole-like dish filled with peppers, chicken, onions and tender loving care, we just knew we had to give it a try. Behold: Episode 12 of the DnA Foodcast, fit for [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 11: Milk Tart

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 04:01:27 +0000

This week, the boys put on their baking aprons and make a South African delicacy, submitted by one Ludwig K: the Milk Tart! As one would assume, it’s a milk-based treat — a delicious accompaniment to your morning cup of coffee or a decadent conclusion to your evening supper. No matter the time, no matter [...]

Rice Bake on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 02:00:28 +0000

The DnA Foodcast gets a semi German recipe next week, by which we mean it simply comes to us from two Germans. Timo and Ines of Kiel, Germany, sent us a Chicken Rice Bake. However, after making it, one could easily take the chicken out for it to be a standalone vegetarian dish. For meatatarians, [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 10: Stuffed Mushrooms

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 04:01:59 +0000

What a momentous day for the foodcast! Today, we release our tenth episode, which sees us tackling the funky fungi of Bryan F’s stuffed mushroom recipe. These bigger-than-bite-sized treats reveal hidden layers of flavor, thanks in part to green onions, a blend of italian cheeses and some savory sausage. Enjoy! [Ingredients & Recipe] All you [...]

Milk Tart on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 01:54:12 +0000

The DnA Foodcast goes south next week. Like, about as far south as we can go without being attacked by penguins. Next week’s episode was demanded by South African native Ludwig K. and we really couldn’t help but try it. This recipe comes in two parts. You can skip the first by buying a pie [...]

Stuffed Mushrooms on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Thu, 26 May 2011 20:54:01 +0000

The DnA Foodcast returns, delving deeper into the dark magic of appetizers that could stand as a whole meal. Bryan F.’s stuffed mushrooms are filling and you can easily cut the recommended ingredients by half to feed one or as a side for two. This recipe allows for a lot of evolutionary choices, have fun [...]

Chicken Teriyaki by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:00:46 +0000

So, it would seem that you guys like some Chicken Teriyaki! We’ve heard nothing but great things about Christian G’s recipe featured on episode eight of the DnA Foodcast and, more important to this post, we’ve received plenty of pictures! Above is our pal Torben’s mixture, chock full of delicious! Listener Girls Are Geeks took [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 9: Etouffee

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 25 May 2011 04:01:41 +0000

This week, the boys prepare a savory, soupy southern treat: Etouffee. It requires quite a few ingredients, but is surprisingly easy to prepare. The only drawback is that the original recipe calls for crawfish tails — very hard to find if you live in San Francisco or Boston. Thankfully, shrimp works, too! iTunes and Zune [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 8: Chicken Teriyaki

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 18 May 2011 04:01:25 +0000

Like clockwork, another episode of the DnA Foodcast is here to help you get through those hungry times. Okay, this episode is a bit long, but don’t let that fool you, this meal could have been done in about 20 minutes. This week, hosts Dave and Alexander prepare a simple, yet highly delicious recipe, submitted [...]

Etouffee on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 18 May 2011 02:12:05 +0000

Allow us to assist: Ay Two Fay. The DnA Foodcast goes cajun next week … well, as close as we can get without access to crawfish. This classic, homey Louisiana meal was in a book of old family recipes given to Trey B. by his father-in-law. Don’t let the fancy French name or list of [...]

Food by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:36:01 +0000

It’s been a bit since we’ve done one of these (blame Dave — he’s been a busy boy) so it makes sense that we wouldn’t get that many user submissions this week. We broke the bond of trust we all shared and the only way to heal that rift is to keep doing these. So [...]

Teriyaki Chicken on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Sat, 14 May 2011 23:01:52 +0000

The DnA Foodcast gets cluckin’ cookin’ with some Teriyaki Chicken on next week’s episode. Submitted by Christian G, this teriyaki sauce ends up tasting as good — possibly better — than those you might find at a local restaurant or from the bottle. It was really, really good. If you want, feel free to grab [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 7: Meatloaf

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 11 May 2011 04:01:05 +0000

For our seventh episode, we tackle one of the most basic recipes out there: Meatloaf, submitted by Sean G. Surprisingly, neither Alexander nor Dave had prepared a meatloaf prior to this episode — but you’ll be happy to know our inexperience barely got in the way of preparing the hearty, delicious dish you see above! [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 6: Tacos (sponsored by Espolón tequila)

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 04 May 2011 04:01:29 +0000

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we’re making tacos! What does Cinco de Mayo actually celebrate? Well, we cover that too. Offering our humble podcast and content for the low-low price of free is something we find quite fun and something we very much enjoy doing. However, there are costs involved. The web man comes [...]

Tacos on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:56:28 +0000

Next Wednesday the DnA Foodcast celebrates Cinco de Mayo in classic gringo fashion with tequila and tacos, sponsored by Espolón tequila. The recipe comes from Dave, but we may make it a tradition to try a different taco recipe each year. This time around, it’s the basics: 1 lb. (500 grams) ground meat. Dave chopped [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 5: Breakfast Burritos

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:01:44 +0000

For Episode 5 of the DnA Foodcast, your intrepid hosts handle Will’s hearty breakfast burritos recipe. It’s like a regular burrito, but full of breakfast foods — and here we were trying to think of a way we could safely, legally have a burrito in the morning. Now we all can! [Ingredients & Recipe] All [...]

Tangy Chicken by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 01:49:23 +0000

As per our custom, we’ve gathered some images and facts about everyone’s experience with Tangy Chicken here for you all to see. Episode 4 of the DnA Foodcast saw Dave and Alexander embrace this first user-submitted recipe from Tyler C — er, actually, that’s not entirely true. Dave whimped out on the microwave part, while [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 4: Tangy Chicken

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 05:01:23 +0000

It’s our first listener recipe, submitted by Tyler C! This week, Alexander braves a chicken cooked in the microwave while Dave (excuse the pun) chickens out, opting to cook his in the oven like 19th-century man. Regardless of the means, each host arrives at a tasty, tangy conclusion. Join us, won’t you? [Ingredients & Recipe] [...]

Breakfast Burrito on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:00:51 +0000

Next Wednesday the DnA Foodcast combines ideas from several cultures that taste delicious together. For our second listener submitted recipe we went with something that we hope becomes the traditional Breakfast Burrito — it will be around our homes. The original portions listed below can feed a small army. We cut everything by half for [...]

Plop-on-Top Cobbler by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:00:37 +0000

The Plop-on-Top Cobbler was our greatest success yet, in terms of getting people to submit their creations. You all took the recipe and really ran with it and, without further ado, let us feast our eyes on your cobblers! [Ingredients & Recipe] Listener Torben went with red currants for his cobbler, which he says he [...]

Tangy Chicken on tomorrow’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:46:54 +0000

For our initial episode featuring a listener submitted recipe we went with the first enthusiastic email we received at the DnA Foodcast. It may be unconventional, but it’s a Tangy Chicken meal with one component even we weren’t sure of: a microwave. Don’t panic. The ingredients for Tyler C’s recipe are simple to obtain and [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 3: Plop-on-Top Cobbler

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 04:01:26 +0000

This week, your intrepid hosts, Dave and Alexander, prepare a cobbler — to be specific, a Plop-on-Top Cobbler. Don’t let the name fool you: this recipe in no way involves making shoes, but it does involve plopping heaping mounds of flavorful berries onto a delicious, moist dough before baking. [Ingredients & Recipe] You can grab [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 2.5: Bacon-wrapped Scallops post-game show

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:00:05 +0000

Episode 2.5 of the DnA Foodcast is an experiment — part post-show wrap-up episode, part more podcasting. We like podcasting and hopefully you’ll enjoy the supplemental lobe-stroking. Short, sensual soundwaves from us to you.

Bacon-wrapped Scallops by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 12:00:09 +0000

It’s been a few days since Episode 2 aired, so it’s about time we check out how some of you out there evolved the recipe. More so than our first episode, the variation between final prepared delicious is what took us back the most. Kudos to you all. Our pal @ScottBiggs worked with some smaller [...]

Is a sommelier available for table DnA Foodcast?

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:43:46 +0000

After several requests from listeners (see, we hear you), we’re planning to post beverage pairings each week for the recipes featured on the DnA Foodcast. We’re currently running into one small hiccup: we need a sommelier. With that said: Do you know how to properly pronounce “sommelier”? Do you know what a sommelier is? Are [...]

DnA Foodcast @ Twitter

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 13:09:15 +0000

We realized that we haven’t been mentioning our Twitter account on the foodcast. Silly us! For the latest info on the show (that doesn’t warrant a post on this site), feel free to follow @DnAFoodcast. You can also follow Dave ‘n Alexander if you want. Fair warning: There’s going to be a lot of random [...]

DnA Foodcast Episode 2: Bacon-wrapped Scallops

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 04:01:35 +0000

For our second episode, the DnA Foodcast prepares decadent bacon-wrapped scallops from Dave’s dad, which we’ve affectionately dubbed Poseidon’s Piggy Delights. It’s got a great blend of tastes and textures: big, meaty scallops; rich, smooth goat cheese; and bacon. Bacon, as we’ve established, is great. [Ingredients & Recipe] Give the episode a listen below and [...]

Plop-on-Top Cobbler on next week’s DnA Foodcast

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:52:54 +0000

Next Wednesday we return with baked goods. The DnA Foodcast’s third episode will have us taking on the only thing Alexander’s mother knows how to bake: cobbler. That’s not an exaggeration. She may be a great cook in other departments, but cobbler is the only thing he can recall her baking in almost 30 [...]

Noodle Auflauf by the fans: Your creations exposed

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 23:10:41 +0000

Here at the DnA Foodcast, it’s all about you — we make your recipes (not yet, but soon!) and we celebrate your accomplishments in the kitchen. After our first episode aired, we were shocked and amazed at the response. You all got to cooking and we love it! In the spirit of celebrating your creations, [...]

Chicken wings in Napa: Sweet ‘n Spicy

dna@dnafoodcast.com (Dave Hinkle and Alexander Sliwinski) — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:00:43 +0000

Last week, I (Dave) visited some friends in Napa, with a soul purpose to A) hang-a-lang with my pals and 2) cook chicken wings. We also brewed some beer, which was surprisingly easier than I thought it’d be, but that’s not why you’re here. The wings: with 10lbs (at $3.99 a pound) of raw, uncooked [...]
