Wednesday, October 21, 2026 Lately, I have been in the mood to go to Costco, buy an entire roast, and carve it into steaks. Carter called and told me Costco had a killer deal on Prime Roasts, so I went and picked up a fine slab of beef. Photo Montage As always, thanks for CookCookEatEating…

Tuscany, Siena and Florence 🇮🇹🍷
Christmas time 2025, I had my friend David Liu over for dinner to celebrate some holiday cheer. He enjoyed the festive and family atmosphere my sons and I create, so he got a bit emotional and asked me to join him at his wedding in Italy in May 2026. I think he was emotional, as…
Boeuf Bourguignon 🥘

Classic Pot Roast 🥘
My cousin Stuart generously brought some beef over the weekend as we settled in for some Saturday college football.

We all know that my mother, aka MamaT, loves Beef Wellington. Apparently, so does my friend and neighbor, Paul Ellington. One night in April, I was persuaded to prepare another Wellington.

Sous Vide Wagyu Ribeye 🥩
