Food

I'm not a chef, line cook or even a restaurant worker... I don't have that kind of talent. I'm just a home cook with some recipes I like to make.

Horseradish Sauce

It's rare that I would put a little something on a Rib Roast, but this Horseradish Sauce brings out another level. Another use... also fantastic on leftover Rib Roast sandwiches.

Once we were traveling for a dog show and staying at a Airbnb. We were looking for a one pot, easy meal and BBC Food delivered. We still make this risotto or variations of it today... it's always elegantly simple.
