  • potato leek flatbread - the sam livecast

    Potato/Leek Flatbread

    Flatbread pretty much just means very thin crust pizza – and this is a delicious one. Many supermarkets now sell balls of raw pizza dough – or you can make your own. Either way you’ll like this.

  • pork shrimp gyoza - the sam livecast

    Shrimp & Pork Gyoza

    More dumplings with this Asian classic that may have seemed nearly impossible to make at home prior to watching this show. In true Sam fashion, rather than make just shrimp or just pork, he had to combine them together into one epic Asian dumpling. Find the recipe here.

  • honey walnut shrimp - the sam livecast

    Not-Fried Honey Walnut Shrimp

    Normally these crispy shrimp are cooked in hot oil, but in the spirit of Sam’s ‘never-fry-anything-because-its-too-damn-smelly’ mantra, we decided we’d rather throw them into a pan for just a little color. Simple and of course, delicious. Find the recipe here.
