The milk, butter and eggs can be replaced by non-dairy alternatives. You can put a lot of different toppings. Think omelette! For instance (amount of topping per pancake): • 1/8 cup chopped red onion • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper • 1 ounce smoked salmon, slices or chopped • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill You can also add herbs in the pancake dough, like Herbes de Provence, or cumin/turmeric/cardamom/paprika for a more adventurous middle Eastern flavor (I used that with onion & eggplant the other day, very good, too). #MartisMusicKit #MMK #MartiMendenhall #Food #Music #Podcast #Recipes #MusicAndFood #Cooking #OregonMusicNews #Podcast #Season1Cookbook #QuickBites #WhereAnythingCanHappen #CookingHacks #OregonMusicNews #Jazz #JettySwart #JetBlackPearl #Accordion #wackysongs #FunkyMusic #WorldFamous #FrenchSongAwards #Dutch #DutchCooking #Pannekoke #SavoryBuckwheatPancakes #DutchPancakes Short Hashtags: #MartisMusicKit #MMK #MartiMendenhall #JettySwart #JetBlackPearl #Pannekoke #DutchPancakes #WackyMusic #Accordion

Approximate amounts for 4 people Recommend cooking some of these in advance or making extra from another dinner/lunch during the week!

(Although a Green Goddess dressing would also work in a pinch!) The pepitas and kimchee are the most fun and surprising ingredients. The crunchy saltiness of the pepitas and the umame tartness of the kimchi make the dish really pop! To roast the cauliflower and broccoli, or the chopped sweet potato: Toss in olive oil, season with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder Place veggies on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Load up your bowls and go! All ingredients are optional of course, but we like it best with everything. #MartisMusicKit #MMK #MartiMendenhall #Food #Music #Podcast #Recipes #MusicAndFood #Cooking #OregonMusicNews #Podcast #Season1Cookbook #QuickBites #WhereAnythingCanHappen #CookingHacks #OregonMusicNews #Jazz #TheCiderJanes #MusicAmericana #VocalTrio #Folk #Pachangamama #RiceBowl #NaomiLaViolette #AliyihBristol #HeatherSchrock #ORS

Welcome to Marti's Music Kitchen, the Fun food Podcast - with creative people - where anything can happen! On this next episode, we are talking with a man who expresses his passion for music through his saxophone - and his tap shoes - and drums and piano, flute and even the pot lids from his kitchen! Whatever he can find to express the rhythm that flows from him. In the kitchen, we make his go-to meal after a gig - Savory Bean Sauté and a Persimmon and Pumpkin Seed Salad. I'd never had persimmons and turns out - they're delicious! Shoehorn has made his way through over 30 countries, always tapping and playing his way into the local musical culture. Something to feed his hunger for multi-cultural diversity. He's also known for inventing the Tappercussion e-tap electric tap dance instrument, which he has used on some of the six albums he has released over the years. Let me just say that Shoehorn is one interesting guy! Find out more about Shoehorn, and hear him perform live on the show - on Episode 46 of Marti's Music Kitchen.

Welcome to Marti's Music Kitchen! Today we're joined by our guest Dr. Dylan Dean, a busy man just brimming with creative drive. He spent nearly a decade with the local Indie Euro band Mbrascatu. Dylan has released three albums and several singles in different languages since 2021! Dylan and his family love to cook!

Life IS fretless.” Give a list as he and Marti perform LIVE - and check out the video on YouTube - or on our patreon at patreon.com/MartiMendenhall!!

Add 2 pads of butter and 2 tbls of olive oil and heat up. Cube sweet potatoes/yams, and the ham steak, into tiny, bite-size pieces (0.5cm or so!) Add potatoes to hot skillet and gently stir and flip (or as Dylan says, “flippy floppy”) until coated and softening. Add ham, continue with the flippy floppy. Chop spinach and rosemary. Add to pan once ham is browned. Add “deliberately unmeasured” amounts of Karam's Garlic Sauce (or sub garlic) to your heart's desire! Whisk 5-6 eggs and distribute them evenly in the pan. Resist urge to do anything else to it and just let it sit, covered, for 8-10 minutes (until the eggs in the center of the pan are hardening). Turn off heat and let sit, covered, for a couple minutes. Remove lid, then add sprinkles of goat cheese and shredded parmesan Serve! CREPE FILLING– Finely chop pistachios in food processor Grind cardamom pod with mortar and pestle (or a food processor if you don't have one!) Mix together ground cardamom, pistachio, and 1tbs of sugar CREPES– Preheat second skillet with 2 pads butter In a bowl, mix eggs, water, milk, flour and nutmeg (and optional vanilla or almond flavoring) Whisk until smooth and runny Pour 1/3rd cup of the mix on pre-heated skillet Let bottom start to cook and spread the runny dough with a spatula on top as far along the pan as you can, making the widest “crepe-frisbee” possible Flip once it comes easily off the skillet (some people prefer it doughy, some prefer it with a little char, it's up to you!) Transfer to a plate. Add two spoonfuls of the pistachio filling and roll into the classic crepe-shape Dress with two spoonfuls of creme fraiche. Drizzle with your favorite honey Add a bonus dash of nutmeg for both aesthetic and taste! TIPS from DYLAN DEAN: Mix the crepe dough in a tupperware container and store in fridge for up to 3 days Pre-chop the veggies ahead and store in fridge (except for the spinach, as it doesn't keep) Pre-warming the skillets are important for both recipes #MartisMusicKit #MMK #MartiMendenhall #Food #Music #Podcast #Recipes #Breakfast #Frittata #Crepes #MusicAndFood #OMN #OregonMusicNews #Jazz #Podcast #Season1Cookbook #Art #Painting #DylanDean #DDMP #LebaneseFood #violin #MarkPowers

On this episode of Marti's Music Kitchen, the Fun Food Podcast with Creative People where anything can happen, we're taking a trip to NE Portland to visit new friends Rachel Brashear and Aaron Tomasko at their food-cart, Sweet Lorraine's Latkes and More. Rachel and Aaron are both accomplished musicians with several albums under their creative umbrella, including a new release that just hit the air this March! Music aside, the pair have created a menu out of a longing for traditional, New York-style Jewish food at Sweet Lorraine's, aptly named after Aaron's grandmother. This is where their passion for creating delicious food truly shines! “We don't really have this interest in reinventing anything. We want to keep these things alive so they don't get lost in history,” says Rachel. On MMK's first ever episode recorded inside a food-cart, they're showing Marti how they perfected the art of the knish - a traditional Jewish snack - in more ways than just one! Listen along as they discuss songwriting, cooking, family and the creativity of them all!

Combine dry ingredients first, then add wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a dough is formed. If it's oily, that's okay! Wrap the dough in plastic, place it in a bowl, and refrigerate from anywhere between an hour to a full night. While the dough chills, prepare your favorite mashed potato & onion recipe - just make sure the potato mixture isn't too wet, or your knish won't hold together! Let the potato filling cool and dry - preferably cooling overnight in the fridge. When the crust and filling are ready, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out as thin as you possibly can in the shape of a rectangle. This is a little like making a jelly roll. Once you can see through the dough (without any rips!) spoon the potato mixture (or whatever you might be adding) along the front edge of the dough. You're going to roll them up from this edge - this is the tricky part! There are a few different ways - Rachel makes them in pairs, getting two knish per roll. This way, the knish has a nice top and bottom crust. Some people prefer to make a singular long roll and twist them apart. Find out what works best for you! Once your knish is in a shape that you like, apply an egg wash and bake on a cookie sheet until golden brown. In a convection oven, this takes about 25 minutes. In a traditional oven, it's more like 35-40 minutes. Enjoy with deli mustard or add a topping like gravy or cheese. #MartisMusicKit #MMK #MartiMendenhall #MusicIndustry #JewishFood #ComfortFood #NewYorkStyle #Knish #TraditionalJewishFood #SweetLorraines #Latke #AaronTomasko #RachelBrashear #Industry #Food #Music #Podcast #Recipes #Artisan #Snacks #MusicAndFood #PNW #Portland #ComfortFood #OMN #OregonMusicNews #Jazz #Podcast #Season1Cookbook #Knish #CaveSong #Songwriting #Oklahoma

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! This week on Marti's Music Kitchen, the Fun Music and Food Podcast where anything can happen, we're still on vacation in the birthplace of Jazz - New Orleans! Do we have to go back home? Marti's joined today by two shining stars from the newly opened Jewel of the South restaurant in New Orleans; co-owners Chris Hannah and Chef Phil Whitmarsh. Chris is THE authority of classic cocktails in the South, even having attained a 2017 James Beard Award for the Best Bar in America. Chef Phil has created dishes in England and Australia, and he learned authentic Cajun cooking from his wife's family in Louisiana. While Chef Phil works away in the kitchen on Bone Marrow Cream, Caviar, and Madeleines, Chris takes over the bar to teach Marti about his signature cocktail, the “French 75” - one of Marti's favorites! As if one wasn't enough, he'll light up the night with the “Night Tripper,” a drink made in honor of New Orlean's own Dr. John. What is it about New Orleans that makes people want to eat, drink, and be merry? What the heck is a crusta?! Come along with Marti on this special, on-the-road podcast and find out! https://www.facebook.com/jewelofthesouthnola/ https://www.jewelnola.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jewelnola/ https://www.instagram.com/count_hannah/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall Mr. Hannah's specialty drink recipes! Chris Hannah's French 75 1.25 oz Cognac .35 oz Lemon Juice .25 oz Simple Syrup 2 oz Champagne Lemon peel Chris Hannah's Night Tripper (made in honor of Dr. John) 1.75 oz Bourbon .75 oz Amaro .25 oz Strega 2 dashes Peychauds Orange peel Bone Marrow Cream, Caviar, Madeleines: A multi-part recipe! From the Jewel of the South Restaurant, Chef Phil Whitmarsh First, the Madeleines are fabulous all on their own. So you can make them separately any time and enjoy them. However, they are so incredibly impressive with the bone marrow cream, if you have the time - you will want to make it!! This recipe is not difficult, but it is a mult-step process. You will make the Bone Cream, the Pangrattato, the boiled egg yolks and the madeleines. You can make the boiled egg yolks ahead. I would get the bone cream in the oven, and then time the madeleines to come out just after the bone cream is done cooking. Truly a treat for a special occasion with the ones you love. Enjoy the cocktails while you cook! Follow this Link for the Full Recipe https://mmk.martimendenhall.com/chris-hannah-recipes Special thanks to Charlie Halloran for permission to use his music for this episode. Thanks, also to Jason Jurzak, our NewOrleans recording engineer! And finally, to the on-the-road helpers, Todd Weedman and Bill Hinkle. #ChrisHannah #Bartender #Cocktails #French75 #JeweloftheSouth #NewOrleans #NOLA #Chef #PhilWhitmarsh #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKit #Cooking #Podcast #Recipe #Food #EatNOLA #SouthernCooking #BoneMarrow #Madeleines #Jazz #Music #MusicAndFood #MMK #ChefPhilWhitmarsh #Artisan #CraftCocktails #Madeleines #BoneMarrowCream #MasterBartender #CharlieHalloran

Blend all marinade ingredients using a food processor or blender and pour over the meat. Gently work the marinade into the meat with your hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours. Cook the marinated meat and vegetables together over medium-high 4-5 minutes, until meat is cooked through. Serve in a bowl over rice. Add an egg, over-easy on the top if desired. * A great alternative to using a bowl to marinate is to put the meat and marinade in a large plastic bag, seal it and work it into the meat that way. THEN refrigerate in the bag. #MartisMusicKit #MartiMendenhall #SophieLee #ThreeMusesNOLA #ThreeMuses #FrenchmenStreet #FridayNight #TGIF #NOLA #cocktails #cocktailtime #cocktailhour #latenightnola #drinkingnola #thespottedcat #bulgogi #neworleans #travel #louisiana #jazz #jazzlover #jazzsinger #MMK #RiceBowl #podcast #art #artist #artlover #musiclover #musician #music

Today's guest is Kris Deelane, lead singer in Portland's Old School/New School Soul extravaganza band, Kris Deelane and The Hurt. Throughout her extensive and amazing music career, she's shared the stage with names like Joan Jett, Brian Wilson, and Pee Wee Ellis, just to name a few! Let's not forget what we're here for, though-- she loves to cook! “I'll never forget the first time that I learned to make a scrambled egg. [laughs] I was like, a little kid, and my mom took me-- like, I would always help her beat the eggs, but I didn't know how it got from that liquid, gooey, gross thing into that scrambled egg that I liked as a kid. And I just remember she gave me this spatula and I was so amazed I was just like, this is like magic!” Kris went above and beyond, creating an entirely new recipe just for this show! Come along with us as she makes kale, tempeh and black bean street tacos, and a batch out-of-this-world Avocado Margaritas. What philanthropic pursuit led to Kris' recent stay in Mexico?

Add tempeh to the pan, with a bit of water to aid in breaking it up. Add taco seasoning and kale, letting simmer until it cooks down. Spoon onto a tortilla of your choice and enjoy! Optional toppings: *Corn chips *Pico de gallo (store bought is fine!) *Shredded jack or cheddar cheese, or Miyoko's Smoked Mozzarella Style vegan cashew-based cheese *Homemade roasted tomatillo salsa (homegrown tomatillos, garlic, and homegrown hot peppers roasted in oven and blended with raw white onion, salt and pepper once cool - it's important that it's cool first or the blender blasts out a bunch of hot sauce and can burn you) *"Kris's Butt-Hurt Sriracha" hot sauce - because, really, these jalapenos just got no heat (all the hottest peppers I grew blended with garlic, salt and a bit of sugar, and fermented for 9 days) Avocado Margaritas Ingredients: 1 cup Blanco/white 100% agave tequila (I use Lunazul) 1 cup Trader Joe's Margarita Mix (no corn syrup or overpriced agave syrup) ½ of an avocado Fistful of cilantro. Directions: Blend all ingredients before adding the ice to the blender, or you get chunks of frozen avo instead of the ice creamy milkshake texture we're going for. It sounded SO gross when I first heard about it, but it's dreamy (and strong!) #KrisDeelane #KrisDeelaneandTheHurt #krisdeelaneandthehurt #pdxmusicians #motownsounds #pdxmusicscene #LiveMusic #PdxMusic #PdxEvents #Portland #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKit #Cooking #Podcast #Recipe #Vegetariancooking #Vegetarian #Tacos #Kale #Margarita #Cocktail #PDXEats #MusiciansWhoCook #MMK #VolunteeringInMexico #Volunteerism

Welcome to Marti’s Music Kitchen, the Fun Music and Food Podcast, where anything can happen! Today’s guest is soul singer-songwriter Tahirah Memory. Her beautiful, agile vocals are the perfect blend for her unique mix of Jazz and Soul. She is also the daughter of the late grammy-award winner, Dr. Thara Memory. “During the recording process, I don’t listen to music from other people. I feel like it’s kind of cheating on a relationship you have with your music, you know, because you’re trying to have a very . . . untainted relationship with your songs, your music and your production. When you listen to other people’s songs there’s envy.” Outspoken and unapologetic, she is a huge believer in other people; in all they are, and all they can become. In her own words, sound is her own personal truth. Tahirah is known for creating an intimate show whereby her audience often feels like she is speaking directly to them.

Welcome to Marti’s Music Kitchen! Today’s guest is Mark Bowden, guitarist, writer, producer, and one of the top nationally known go-to musicians. He’s shared the stage with names like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Curtis Salgado. Also joining is the multi-award winning Blues artist and social activist, Karen Lovely. We cook Mark’s famous Lamb Gyros with Tzatziki sauce. Mark also makes his specialty homemade pita bread! Listen on as they spill the secrets of music and food on an international scale. LAMB GYROS: (makes 8 gyros) Lamb Filling: 2 pounds boneless lamb leg or shoulder, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided (1 for the marinade, 2 for the skillet) Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Combine the above ingredients and let marinate in a closed container 12-24 hours Additional fillings: Large Romaine lettuce leaves (1 per pocket) 2 - 3 to 4” fresh cucumber spears (2 per pocket) Chopped Roma tomatoes (1 tbsp per pocket) Crumbled Feta Cheese (1 tbsp per pocket) Optional: Chopped spring onions or shallots (1 tsp per pocket) Rachel’s Tzatziki Sauce (1 tbsp per pocket) INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Make the lamb (or beef) marinade. The meat needs the inherent fat content to make it tender and moist. 2. While the meat marinades, make the pitas following the attached Bittman recipe. Do not over bake and cook just before serving. 3. Make the Tzatziki sauce using Rachel’s recipe below. 4. While the pitas cool slightly, add two tbls of quality virgin olive oil to cast iron skillet. Set heat to high. Brown the meat to medium rare. 5. Assemble meat and fillings into the pita pockets and wrap in foil to hold together. Serve immediately. Mark Bittman’s Pita Bread Recipe: https://www.markbittman.com/recipes-1/pita Makes 6-12 Pitas, cook/prep time at least 2 hours. Somewhat unattended! Mark Bowden’s Tips/Tricks on Making Pita Bread: Always use a good quality bread flour such as Bob's Red Mill Artisan Bread Flour or Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. I typically use 1.5x the recommended amount of fast acting yeast. Easily mix dough in Kitchen Aid mixer. Mix just enough to get to the clumped sticky stage. Turn dough out on floured baker's mat and kneed it by hand until dough is satiny and springs back to the touch. Use a baking stone and pre-heat it 30 minutes or more! 350 degrees max.

Welcome to Marti’s Music Kitchen, the Fun Music and Food Podcast, where anything can happen! I’m super excited about my guests from the award-winning Americana/Folk duo, Julie Amici and Dean Mueller. They are the 2019 recipient of the Cascade Blues Association “Back What You Believe In” award. This award is given to a group or individual who has gone above and beyond to demonstrate a commitment to the blues community.

So we started the program within that organization. ... We just try to bring professional, live shows that we would have at the theatre, or other places that have super-high-quality shows and bring them to senior centers, and other places where there is no way they could see a show like that.” Dean is a bass player, major foodie, and curator of music at the award-winning Lake Theater & Cafe. He strongly believes in knowing where his food comes from and uses local sources whenever possible. Today, he’ll prepare his traditional Christmas dinner, Roasted Bone Marrow and mouth-watering Porcini Braised Short Ribs with Rosemary Mashed Potatoes. We’ll learn the secret to making his flavorful mashed potatoes, and will taste wine from three of their favorite local wineries. How did this duo cultivate such a network of musicians that give back to communities from Portland to the coast? Follow me into this fabulous kitchen . . and let’s find out!

Let’s get something going.” And then Dale happened to move down to Portland at that same time.” It just so happens that Joe is a definite food fan, and pretty good cook at that.

Follow me into this fun episode . . and let’s find out! Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches Ingredients: 3 chicken breasts 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pack Campbell's Buffalo Slow Cooker sauce pack 1 cup shredded carrots 2 stalks of celery 1 red onion Sliced provolone cheese Ciabatta buns Ground black pepper to taste Directions: Trim fat from chicken breasts, placing whole breasts in slow cooker. Top with olive oil, buffalo sauce, and pepper. Cook on high for 2 hours. While cooking, thinly slice celery and prepare shredded carrots. At the 2 hour mark, open the cooker and remove the chicken. Put the sliced celery and shredded carrots in the remaining sauce, turn cooker to low heat. After chicken cools enough, shred by hand until it is in small, thin strips and place back in cooker with the sauce and vegetables. Cook for an additional 20 minutes. Slice the ciabatta buns and the red onion. When ready, spoon chicken mix onto the bun, top with cheese, onion, second half of bun and ENJOY! For more heat, add extra sauce as desired. Baked French Fries Ingredients: 3 red potatoes Olive oil Ground black pepper Sea Salt Tasty seasoning of your choice ( I used an herbed pepper blend for the show but often do it with Rosemary instead with great results) Directions: Turn oven to 350. After peeling any eyes or imperfections off the potatoes make horizontal cuts through them to separate them into flat slices with the rest of the skin still on. Then cut individual fry-shaped slices out of those to the proper size. Place tinfoil on a flat cooking sheet and spray with non-stick spray. Align the fries down on the tray so they are not quite touching and spread evenly. Using two fingers, loosely spread over the opening of the olive oil, carefully spread the oil over all of the fries until they have a nice sheen on top, but not to the point that they are sitting in pools of oil. Spread salt, pepper, and seasoning to taste over the top of the oiled fries. Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes or until they are crispy enough to your liking. Using a spatula, move fries onto a plate covered in paper towels to sponge off extra oil and let cool. Enjoy!

Oh, and did I mention? She just happens to be the daughter of Zia McCabe, from the Dandy Warhols! Just how did Tildy discover her love of cooking?

Separation may occur with too heavy a hand. Taste. Add salt if needed (sub celery salt) Spoon mixture into a zipper bag, seal, and mash more if needed, until smooth. Clip a corner and squeeze yolks into egg white halves. Garnish with any of the following: Capers, Dill, Minced onions crisp-fried with avocado oil. My favorite tip for cutting raw onions: make someone wearing contact lenses do it. There is a secret ingredient that I will only reveal in my last remaining breaths! Watermelon with Balsamic Vinegar That’s it! But the ingredients are key... Hermiston watermelon and Third Street Oil and Vinegar’s Fig- and peach-infused balsamic vinegars are what make this dish truly sublime. http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall https://www.facebook.com/starella34/ Instagram handle: @thestarellasisters https://www.instagram.com/thestarellasisters/

Instead, he had an infectious passion and enthusiasm for music, travel, food, and culture which led him to culinary school and ultimately founding, VoomaGo, an experiential travel company that specializes in taking you behind the scenes and away from touristy crowds so you can travel like a local.

On the Season Two opener of Marti’s Music Kitchen, we’re jazzing it up with acclaimed songwriter and performer, Naomi LaViolette. We’re meeting her high in the lush green hills of the fabulous Campbell Lane Winery. You might recognize Naomi’s music from the national acclaim around her work with Steve Goodwin and the “Saving his Music” project, or about the Oregon Symphony’s “Lullaby Project,” helping homeless Mom’s through music. “We’ve now successfully saved most of his music,” says Naomi, “and it’s kind of neat because it’s like… that’s the battle Alzheimer’s didn’t win. We feel a lot of joy from that. It’s like the light on the other side of the darkness with the disease.” We are on location with Tracy Parks, co-owner of the winery, in the lovely Oregon location. We’re going to figure out what wine goes best with Naomi’s delicious go-to healthy Fish Bowls with homemade aioli and veggies. With three kids and an extremely busy performance schedule, how does she find the time to cook? How do Naomi and Tracy encourage their children to help out in the kitchen? And how did she write her latest hit? Take a listen – and let’s find out! Find out on the next, Marti’s Music Kitchen, on Oregon Music News.com.

On Episode 20 of Marti’s Music Kitchen, the fun and music podcast where anything can happen, we team up with newlyweds and Portland’s power couple in the Blues scene, Greg Slim Lively Johnson and Cherie Johnson. Greg is President of the Cascade Blues Association and 2016 recipient of The Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” Award. He is also a respected photographer, capturing the music he loves behind the lens. In 2015, he contributed to a fabulous book of photographs (Jenn Ocken) and memories (Greg), Blues on Beale Street: Memoirs of the International Blues Challenge. It “is a love letter told in photographs, accompanied by a series of written experiences, short stories, song lyrics, and thoughts from a variety of attendees and participants in the International Blues Challenge, an annual event sponsored by The Blues Foundation in Memphis.” Cherie is curator of Cherie’s Blues Highway, music promoter, and international travel consultant. Inspired by a recent trip to Italy, Cherie shows us how quick and easy it is to make homemade pasta which we use for her famous Pasta Carbonara, a recipe that her new hubby loves! Come travel with us and find out how a shared love affair with the Blues led to a life together that has them traveling throughout Portland’s music scene and beyond. https://www.facebook.com/greg.s.johnson.9 WWW.CASCADEBLUESASSOCIATION.ORG https://www.facebook.com/groups/cascadebluesassociation/ MartiMendenhall.com Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall Pasta Ingredients: 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour 2 1/2 c. semolina flour 7 eggs Directions: Sift flour. Make a well in middle, add eggs and gently mix into flour until incorporated. Place on floured surface and knead 7-8 minutes. Let dough rest then divide into portions to put through a pasta maker or hand roll into desired noodles (You can put in a Kitchenaid mixer instead of hand kneading). Pasta Carbonara Ingredients: One pound pasta 1 egg 1 ⁄2 cup half and half cream sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste 12 slices pancetta or 12 slices smoked streaky bacon 1 cup fresh peas or 1 cup frozen peas 2 sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked and finely sliced freshly grated parmesan cheese Directions: Bring a large pan of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook al dente. Whisk the egg in a bowl with the cream, salt and pepper. Put the pancetta or bacon into a second pan and cook until crispy and golden. When pasta is nearly cooked, add the peas for the last minute and a half. This way they will burst in your mouth and be lovely and sweet. When cooked, drain in a colander, saving a little of the pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the pancetta and stir in most of the mint, finely sliced - if the pan isn't big enough, mix it all together in a large warmed bowl. Now add the egg and cream mix to the pasta. It's important to add it while the pasta is still hot so it will cook the egg but not so that they resemble scrambled eggs but makes the sauce silky and smooth. Toss together and loosen with a little of the reserved cooking water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the Parmesan and the rest of the mint leaves, and serve. #GregSlimLivelyJohnson #CherieJohnson #CascadeBluesAssociation #CheriesBluesHighway #Blues #PdxMusic

On this Episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, the fun music and food podcast where anything can happen, it’s a Liberace 100th Birthday Celebration! With costumes, music and the glamor of show business, Liberace tribute artist and extravagant performer, David Saffert is with me today. David is a classically trained pianist and has partnerships with the Oregon Ballet Theatre, the Portland Opera, the Oregon Symphony and the Interlochen Arts Camp. He’s received RAVE reviews for his blinged-out tribute to Liberace from Oregon Arts Watch, the Deluth News Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle. Not only was Liberace was famous for his over-the-top performance style and his slightly naughty humor, but did you also know he also liked to cook? He loved his sticky buns, so to speak! “Before I get on stage and I’m in sequins from head to toe, and the hair, a wig and the makeup and the rings, and I hear Bo and the band will start playing the Liberace Hilton-Vegas intro, it just puts you in the mindset to be him.” Crashing the party is Mr. Bo Ayars, who has worked with Bob Hope, Elvis, Barbara Streisand and who just happened to be Liberace’s music director for 13 years. How cool is this interview going to be? And just how deliciously sticky will Liberace’s sticky buns really be? Come with me into this great kitchen to get a sparkling, glamorous glimpse of musical history and lets find out! https://www.facebook.com/DavidSaffertPiano/ http://insequinspdx.com/bio https://www.ax2music.com/ MartiMendenhall.com Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall OregonMusicNews.com Liberace’s Sticky Buns Ingredients - As Best Bo can remember and David can infer! 1.5 cups brown sugar 2 sticks unsalted butter (or salted for a little zing) Basically add pumpkin pie spices to taste….. about 1.5 tsp. Or break down the spices: @.5 teaspoon cinnamon @.25 teaspoon each-ish nutmeg, cloves, allspice and cloves @.25 ginger if you want to add a little bite 3 packages refrigerated unbaked rolls (crescent, cinnamon, or other. The spice/butter mixture flavors it up.) 1 cup roughly chopped pecans 1.25 cups golden raisins (or what you have on hand) .50 cup rum (whatever smells good) Preheat oven to 325°. Soak raisins in rum until soft. Microwave 15-35 seconds if necessary to soften. Melt butter, spices and brown sugar in a small pot. Stir until is bubbling and at a thick sauce consistency. Use bigger chunks of pecans to line two non-stick baking pans (use non-stick spray on pan first), and add about 1 tablespoon of the butter mix to each cup. Prepare whatever dough you have chosen, making it into one big, single sheet of dough. Brush the butter mixture on to the dough (maybe about ¼ of the pot.) Put on raisins and more chopped pecans on top of the dough. Roll dough into a log, then slice off 1-1.25 inch sections and place into cups in the baking pan. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until the muffins just start to brown on top. Right out of the oven, place a plate over the baking pan and flip to pop-out the muffins on to the plate. Eat them warm! Use first batch to determine how much butter mixture to put muffin cups in the second batch. #liberace #lizaminnelli #tributeact #musicdirector #cabaret #Liberace100thbirthday #oshgoshbgosh #DavidSaffert #BoAyars #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKit #Cooking #StickyBuns

Is Southern charm what binds this trio together? Does their music influence what they eat? ?Tune into Episode 17 and let’s find out!

Welcome to Episode 16 of Marti’s Music Kitchen, The FUN Music and Food Podcast, Where Anything Can Happen! My guest is the amazing trumpet player, author, teacher and outstanding cook, Mr. John Dover. He is an endorsed artist for Bach trumpets, and he plays everything from classical and jazz, to rock. This Renaissance man will be cooking up Chilaquiles with a Lazy man's Piña Colada, and we’ll even get to check-out Jam’s By Jess, home-made goodness in a jar by John’s wife, Jessica. “Cooking with the heart is how where we learn to show people what we think of them…It also forces you as the chef to engage and indulge in what you're creating to make it better.” John has a super-cool second career as the comic book author of the booze-drinking, lady-loving detective known as “Johnny Scotch.” How does music effect what’s cooking in the kitchen? What is the parallel of writing music and writing a comic book? And just what would Johnny Scotch make for date-night dinner?

On this episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, The FUN Music and Food Podcast, Where Anything Can Happen, we cook with Mark Bitterman, James Beard Award-winning food writer, chef, foodie, and Instagram King. He is the founder of Bitterman Salt Company, with hand-made salts that unite flavor, sustainability and social responsibility. He is also the owner of the specialty store, The Meadow, with locations in Portland, New York City, and coming this Spring, Tokyo! Now on the doorstep of it’s 13th year in business, this place is internationally known as THE specialty boutique shop for finishing salts, cocktail bitters and, of course my favorite food group, chocolate! This is also the 13th episode of MMK! “I meet this salt maker and he's this guy who's got this sandy blonde hair and he has blue sun-bleached eyes… he's looking out over the horizon and telling me how he makes salt with his hands - and the sea - and the Sun. And I'm like… Who are you?” On the menu today is a bad-ass family recipe for Caesar salad, and a Steak (which is all about the salt), and a Martini – which Mark suggests is the hardest drink in the world to make! Since Mark’s cookbooks have won awards from places like the James Beard Foundation, and he’s shared salt and bitters at the Smithsonian and Le Cordon Bleu, and he has been recognized as a “Local Food Hero” by Cooking Light and a “Tastemaker in” Food & Wine, I’m thinking this will be an AMAZING FOOD EXPERIENCE! What is this Magic melody he sings about Salt? And why is he one of the most in-demand interviews for places like the NY Times, The Splendid Table and All Things Considered? And of course – what is the mysterious music connection? Stay tuned – and let’s find out! #MarkBitterman #Selmelier #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKit https://www.instagram.com/SELMELIER/ http://markbitterman.com/ http://www.bittermansalt.co Mark’s Blog: http://markbitterman.com/blog/ Mark’s Cookbooks: https://themeadow.com/collections/books http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall http://OregonMusicNews.com The World's Best Martinis: 2.5 oz London Dry Gin .75 oz dry (white) Vermouth 2 dashes citrus bitters 1 lemon twist, for garnish Make in a beaker with a LOT of ice. (The size of the container takes some of the energy out of the cold.) “Dilution makes the World’s Best Martini!” Frozen Ice - (Colder than Bar Ice.) Stir (do not shake) frozen ice longer than bar ice. Pour into glass Garnish with Olives Raise the Glass and make a toast! Caesar Salad: For the Dressing, the goal is equal parts of the oils, and the rest of the ingredients. In a quart jar, 2 egg yolks 2-3 whole lemons - squeeze into jar Shake it (breaks up the yolks) and leave it for a few minutes. Add a dollop of Dijon mustard 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, pressed Put the lid on the jar and Shake, shake, shake Prep your romaine Lettuce. Grate parmigiano reggiano Continue the Dressing: Mince up a couple of anchovies and add them to the dressing. Add the oil from the anchovies into the dressing. A TON of black pepper. More than you think! This should take up about 1/3 of the jar. Fill another 1/3 of the jar with combination of 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, and regular vegetable oil. Make your own croutons ahead - old bread (even year-old bread) drizzle with olive oil, toast it in the toaster oven. Or use pre-made croutons. Add the croutons to the dressing jar and shake them up! Toss the dressing/crouton combo in the salad, then toss in about a cup of the grated cheese. Rib Eye Steak: Two Nice Size Steaks (ours was about 1.5 inches thick) Pick a Great Salt Sprinkle salt and rub into both sides of meat. Let sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Use a cast iron skillet. Heat on high. Add about 2 tablespoons of butter in a heated pan. Cook steak in Butter, approximately 5 min per side. Finish with a blowtorch to give it a beautiful brown crust. Let the steak rest for a bit. Scatter another salt over the steak, then serve.

On Episode 11 of Marti’s Music Kitchen, we are creating an Orange Earl Grey Pound Cake from inception to deliciousness with Carly Jayne, food stylist and photographer, recipe developer and owner of Love Like Salt. It’s a cooking education, as Carly teaches us how to develop a recipe using formulas. She specializes in creative story telling through food photography, design and even recipe development. That’s right – she styles food for a living! “So the reason why the scale is really important for baking is because…if you sat down and just measured six cups of flour and weighed each cup, each one is going to be different. When it comes to cakes and things where you really need to have accuracy, and you need it to turn out perfectly and consistently, you are only really going to get that with a volume measure.” How has Carly’s passion for showcasing and cooking amazing food develop into a full-time business? What is her connection to the music world – and what the heck is a Food Stylist? Just push play – and let’s find out! https://www.lovelikesalt.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lovelikesalt/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Instagram.com/MartiMendenhall http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall Ruhlman’s Ratios App: http://ruhlman.com/apps/ Earl Grey Orange Cornmeal Poundcake -note- A kitchen scale is highly recommended. Once you start baking with a scale, you will never want to go back to cups and spoons! Two bags Earl Grey tea (or any other flavor you fancy) brewed in 1 cup of hot water 3 medium oranges (feel free to try any citrus you like, such as mandarin oranges, blood oranges or even lemons. If using smaller citrus, add on 1-2 additional fruits) 1 cup Sugar 8 ounces (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature 8 ounces (about 1 cup and tablespoon) sugar 8 ounces eggs (about 4 large eggs and one white), room temperature 8 ounces (about 1 1/3 cup) cornmeal Pinch Salt --- Heat Oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 8" round cake pan with a circle of parchment in the bottom or cut a silicone baking sheet to size. Butter well. Brew tea for 3-5 minutes in one cup of hot water. Add to a shallow, large frying pan, stir in 1 cup sugar and simmer on medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, thinly slice two oranges as thin as possible (hold the remaining fruit for zest). Add slices to simmering syrup and keep an eye on them as you make your batter. The slices are done when they are soft and translucent - the should taste pleasantly sweet and slightly bitter from the candied peel. Remove from heat and place slices on the bottom of the prepared cake pan in a circular pattern, covering the entire bottom. Keep any left over oranges to decorate the finished cake. Reserve syrup for cocktails or sodas! Cream butter on medium speed in stand mixer - this should take between 1-7 minutes. Add sugar, continue to cream until fluffy. Zest orange and add zest to mixture with a pinch of salt. Add eggs one at a time with the mixer on slow, add the next egg once the previous one has been worked in smoothly. Gently fold in cornmeal until just incorporated. Pour batter into the pan over the oranges and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 350, start to check cake at 35 minutes. The sides should pull away and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes before sliding a knife between the cake and the pan. Place a cooling rack on top of the pan and flip the cake over. Remove the parchment or silicon sheet from the top of cake and use remaining orange slices to fill any gaps or cover imperfections- if desired. Enjoy!

On this Episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, we are stirring up a batch of hot, hearty “Can’t Go Wrong Crockpot Chili,” with Zia McCabe, the synth, bass and percussionist for The Dandy Warhols. She is also a successful real estate agent for Windermere, as “A to Zia” Real Estate in Portland, Oregon. In addition, she’s also been “Saving good parties from bad music since 2001” as DJ RESCUE. “If you were relying on this to pay your bills, it’s so easy to zap some of that joy,” says Zia. “And that’s how I started to feel about music, is like - man, I want to play music, not work music.” Zia is one of the few musicians to dovetail the nightlife of being performing musician and DJ with the day job of real estate. Preventing the eventual burn-out of touring, and preserving the joy of all things music. How does she flip the switch from her on-stage persona to living a quote unquote “Normal” life? And why is Chili one of her favorite “easy” things to cook? Listen to check it out. (Recipe below.) https://www.dandywarhols.com/ http://atoziarealestate.com/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall ZIA’S CAN’T GO WRONG CROCKPOT CHILLI This is one of the easiest recipes to make.

On this next episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, we have Ken DeRouchie, Musician and Producer. He is also founder of the high-energy, 8-piece Ken DeRouchie Band. These outstanding performers of Funk, Soul and R&B have earned 4 “Muddy Award” nominations and have had three successful radio singles, including “Keep on Walkin’” and “Hangin’ With My Baby.” This year also marks the 5th Annual Ken DeRouchie Band Food Drive “I decided 5 years ago that I wanted to try to do something for the community. The thing that I kind of latched on to was the Oregon Food Bank. I think we got about eighteen hundred pounds of food donated last year, and then we had close to $2500 in donations,” says Ken. “So that, for just the one year, the total came out to something like 12,000 meals.” For over 35 years, Ken has perfected his recipe-making and culinary skills, with a focus on a New Orleans-Style of cooking. On today’s show, we’re making Ken’s Spicy Seafood Corn Chowder, a finely tuned recipe of Southern Creole cooking with a dash of Ken’s Pacific NW Flair. What culinary secrets and song-writing super-powers does Ken have to share? Check out this episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen – and let’s find out! http://www.kdband.net/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall Ken’s spicy seafood corn chowder Ingredients 1 Quart Half & Half 1 Quart Heavy Cream 2 cans of whole kernel corn (or, 6 ears of corn roasted on the grill) 1 can creamed corn 2 sticks of butter 1 cup of flour 2 Poblano or Pasilla Peppers (roasted on the grill) 1 Medium Yellow Onion 5 celery stalks Salt & Pepper to taste 1/3 cup of sugar Chili de Arbol (seasoning) 1 Lb. Raw, peeled and deveined shrimp 2 raw lobster tails 1-2 tablespoons of “Better Than Bouillon Lobster Base” Make sure shrimp is thawed, peeled and deveined. Put in a bowl and store in the fridge until needed. Making the Base Add the half & half and heavy cream to a large pot on medium heat. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of Lobster Base and whisk in. Drain 2 cans of corn (or cut the corn off of the 6 ears) and add to the pot. Add creamed corn to the pot. STIR REGULARLY, I recommend a wire whisk. Add sugar and continue to stir. Add about 1 Tsp. Chili de Arbol and mix well. Add more to your desired heat level. (I personally use a lot more) Continue to stir regularly. Once the pot begins to simmer, reduce heat to low. Roast the peppers on a gas or coal grill. Lightly char all sides of the peppers until you can easily peel them. Once peeled, core and de-seed the pepper and chop into small pieces and add to the pot. Peel and quarter the onion and put it in a blender. Clean and chop each piece of celery into 4 pieces and add to the blender. Add water to the blender and puree for about 20 seconds. Use a tight weave strainer and strain the liquid out of the puree. Take the pulp/puree that is left and add it to the pot. Continue to stir regularly. Making a Roux Melt 2 sticks of butter in a pan over medium heat. Do not let it burn. Once the butter is melted, add 1 cup of flour. Mix until it is smooth and creamy. Constantly mix this so the butter doesn’t burn. Add this mixture to the pot and stir in. Stir for about 2 minutes. This will thicken the liquid into a thick, hearty chowder. Continue to stir regularly. Finalizing Lay the lobster tails on a cutting board with the bottom of the tail facing up. Use a sharp knife to cut a line, top to bottom through the bottom layer of scales. Peel back the shell and scoop out the meat. Cut the tail meat into small pieces. Do not add this until about 5 minutes before you’re ready to eat. Add the Seafood Once everything is mixed and you have the right flavor and thickness you can add the shrimp and lobster. Add the shrimp and lobster 3-5 minutes before you are ready to serve. It cooks very quickly. Don’t put the seafood in too soon or it will become overcooked and rubbery. Serve with warm crusty bread. #MartisMusicKit #MartiMendenhall #MusicAndFoodPodcast

Cook until the celeriac has begun to color, then add the thyme leaves, garlic, and chile and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add about 1/2 cup of hot water to the skillet, cover, and turn the heat to low. Simmer until the celeriac is tender, about 20 minutes, adding more water if the pan gets completely dry. Once tender, mash the celeriac with a potato masher or wooden spoon to create a rustic puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salty water to boil. Cook the pasta until a minute away from al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining, then add the noodles to the puree along with some of the pasta cooking water. Cook on low, adding pasta water as needed, until the pasta is al dente. Finish with the butter to create a silky sauce, then serve with fresh parsley and Parmesan.

Tom says the cheaper the better, because it’s not as filtered! In a large pot, cover beans with water, or alternatively use the sauce you soaked them in overnight as part of the liquid. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, ham hock and garlic. Cook on low for 5 hours. Stir about once per hour, adding hot sauce to taste as you go. Prep and serve over rice. Any kind of rice will do! Tom’s Tips: • Invite guests to arrive about an hour before the dish is done. • The cheaper the wine, the better. Can use cheap beer as a sub. • Don’t invite your girlfriend over to watch an episode of a freaky food show you produced if you want a girlfriend after she has watched the show!

Listen to this fun interview and live performance, featuring band members Ben and Heidi Beth Sadler, Ryan Souders and Bryan Atkinson.

Step 1: Thoroughly sauté the onion and the garlic in a large pan with a lip of 1 inch or more, as the rice will expand several times over throughout the cooking process. Step 2: Once the onion and garlic are cooked, add the rice and lightly warm it before adding in the liquid (cook at medium/medium high, depending on your stove). Step 3: Over the next 45 minutes, gradually add in the stock and the water, as well as the optional white wine. Stir the risotto every minute or so. The key to all this is patience. You want the risotto to be creamy but not mushy*. The nice thing is that in between stirring, you can prep your veggies and the lemon bean salad. Step 4: After 45 minutes or so, your risotto should be ready to season. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can always add more olive oil or more white wine, depending on your flavor preference. Step 5: After the risotto is fully cooked and creamy, stir in in the greens and lightly wilt them, then remove the risotto from heat. Step 6: Serve the risotto on plates or in shallow bowls. Sprinkle the other veggies on top (cheese could be added for a richer, non-vegan version). Serve with my lemon bean salad (see below). *Visit bonappetit.com for risotto cooking tips. Heidi’s Lemon Bean Salad For the salad combine the following ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl: • 2 cups of fully cooked, cooled beans (chickpea, butter, navy, or kidney) • 2 cups of cooked, cooled corn (sweet corn is best) • 1 generous handful of chopped chives or green onions • salt and pepper Dressing • the juice of one lemon (add the zest if you want an extra lemony salad) • 1 tbs. of red wine vinegar • 1/8 cup of olive oil, or a light oil of your choice • Optional: a drizzle of light agave nectar if you desire a sweeter salad Taste your dressing first, then combine it with the bean mixture. Let these marinate in the fridge, as this salad is best when it has had time for the flavors to mingle. After it has cooled, taste and add additional salt if needed.
