So you’re at the end of the dinner…wondering what to give to make the final touch. What makes the guest remember the meals you make? It’s all in the finishing touches AKA dessert! Now how do we make dessert so impressionable a memory that all will speak of it at the next holiday gathering? Something [...]
Coming home from this cocktail event all I could think of was how great the shrimp was. Ideally the shrimp, the sauce, and its freshness made it, but as always I think of ways to spice things up and add taste value. And here came the newest idea in a series of bacon loving recipes!! [...]
It’s that time of the year when joy is spread, and everyone visits expecting a feast both delicious and practical, and most importantly a hint of unique. Lucky me? Well I knew they (my guests) would expect a great meal with delicious ingredients. I had cooked the meat of choice but had no idea what [...]

Some days my buddies come around for the football games. Obviously pizza is easy and we order that. What do I serve in the meantime? They are all picky and whiney (we have those friends!!), so I know we need a meat dish BUT with a twist. Salsa is both great and easy… mix it [...]
One day I sit down at a gathering and silently contemplate this guacamole. Its good, but I hate dishes without meat!! So I thought what better meat than some Maple Leaf Bacon to toss in this?? Obviously I did not let this secret slip at the party (oops gathering!!), but I went home and made [...]
There’s nothing that says autumn, or Halloween for that matter, than a pumpkin. Now, as much as it’s ridiculously delicious in pies or as a medium for artistic work, pumpkin is a wonderful ingredient in savoury dishes, as well. Being part of the squash family, it naturally goes well with bacon – just as everything [...]
Here at the Republic of Bacon, we respect our ingredients. We let them do what they do best. If they taste great all on their own, then we’ll let them taste great all on their own. If they taste great with a lot of seasonings, we’ll do that, too. Everything tastes good with bacon, so [...]
No, I’m not cooking kale today. Aren’t you proud? I’m going back to some basics. The omelette: The refrigerator’s automatic cleanup function. Anything leftover in your fridge, throw it in an omelette. It will taste good – with some obvious caution. Don’t be throwin’ no smoked oysters, garlic, stilton and durian puree all together.
