Geared towards proving that "anyone can cook", the Fire House Chef (AKA - Ryan McKay) will break down the barriers and fears that surround cooking. I will stress the importance of family and food and that with one comes the other. Be it in the Fire House or at home, you will walk away from The Fire House Chef with the belief that cooking is for the many, not the few

Beef & Chorizo Empanadas - With Cinco de Mayo upon us, it is finally an occasion to express my love for the culture and cuisine of Mexico.

In this episode we discuss heat levels, chorizo innards and that perfectly pronounced Spanish is boring. For more, including the recipe, please visit www.thefirehousechef.com.

Warm Mustard Potato Salad - With Spring officially here, it was high time I share a porch free recipe with y'all. One caveat, there's no mayo. But that's the good news, as EVOO, whole grain mustard and fresh greens doesn't allow you to miss it. In this episode we discuss steaming, green bean alternatives and audio is terrible in a sub.

Raspberry Mint Lava Cakes - What happens when I realize that I haven't had a recipe were chocolate is the featured star? I take the classic molten lava cake and stuff it with raspberries and mint and stack it next to some good old fashion vanilla ice cream like only a firefighter would.
