Dan Whalen is a mad scientist of comfort food. Dan’s recipe takes a full-sized cheeseburger, stuffs it into a ravioli and calls it dinner. Another puts pineapple and bacon into jalapeno peppers to create a tasty, flavorful appetizer. With every recipe so fun and different, you’ll be able to make dishes that your family and friends have truly never seen before.
Dan is the fucking genius behind the popular blog, The Food in My Beard. During my stay in Boston I found some of his recipes in the Huffington Post. One was a, let’s say, controversial success: a great amount of blueberries (two pounds), mixed with marinated sardines, lots of Kurkuma and red lentils, all pushed through a mixer and then cooked in an oven with old Cheddar cheese.
Recipes in the book include Cheesesteak Stuffed Soft Pretzel Calzones, Chicken Stuffed Waffles, Cheddar Sriracha Stuffed Mushrooms and Cherry Pie Stuffed Chocolate Cake, so get ready to take the best comfort foods and stuff them with even more awesome flavor. It’s a book and concept that is highly evaluated in psychotherapy (esp. „Provocative Therapy“) to break old habits and open up new territories of experience. The only rule: if you don’t love from the start, throw it away immediately.
