A lot of us are finding ourselves at home more and ready to distance yourself from the seemingly never ending slew of less than great news. We know our #anovafoodnerd family loves to dive head first into some lengthy, labor-intensive meals, and that’s exactly what we’re serving up. Crank up the music, pour a glass of your favorite red, and get to cooking — the best escape we can think of.

As we mentioned last week, everyone’s pantry and fridge look different right now, and you may not have all ingredients for all these dishes. Play, have fun, sub as needed, and omit as necessary. This guide serves as inspiration, not a letter by letter recipe! Away we go.

#anovafoodnerd David LaForce has — without a doubt — the best bio on the Anova recipes site. Like, it’s not even close. A few highlights from that illustrious list of accolades include:

•  “I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.”
•  “Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.”
•  “On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.”
• ” I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery and I have spoken with Elvis.”
•   and finally, one he hasn’t given himself…absolute rock star #anovafoodnerd!

Join us, as we dive deep into David’s mind (be careful!) as he shares some of his flavor packed, jaw-dropping, sous vide recipes. And away we go! (more…)

Good luck getting a Valentine’s Day dinner reservation at this point. But that nerds, is what we call a blessing disguise! You get to skip an overpriced meal for a lovely night in, and because you own an Anova Precision® Cooker you can whip up a top-notch dinner for a fraction of the cost of your local haunt.

We hit the Google and found out that according to the National Retail Foundation, the average cost of a couple’s night out on Valentine’s Day is $55.44 in the United States. Tack on some traditional Valentine’s Day staples like flowers, candy, cards, and jewelry and you’re looking at two crisp $100 bills flying out the window. What if you took a 1/4 of that, bought some killer ingredients, and treated your special sometime to something special in the comfort of your own home — pants optional?

That’s just what these #anovafoodnerds are doing, and we’re sharing some of their secrets to success and recipes below.

If there’s one thing these guys have in common, it’s the fact they made an impact on the game of football that will last forever. If there’s another thing they have in common, it’s their ability to kick ass in the kitchen about as much as they did on the field. In anticipation of Super Bowl LIV we’ve lined up 3 legends (one who is playing in said Super Bowl!) who are massive #anovafoodnerds to share some of their favorite recipes.

Let’s meet the lineup! (more…)

If you’ve been called upon to host a group and feel a little in over your head, or you’re bringing stuff to a bigger gathering, there’s a recipe below to fit the need. This blog covers some traditional Thanksgiving staples that you can serve up with ease. (more…)
