CULINARY MYSTERY TOUR -- A Literary Chef

 BRIAN ALAN BURHOE.com

Welcome!  Come on in.  Your table is waiting...

This is a Cook's Tour of culinary things: books, cooking, kitchens and people.

In here, you'll find the experiences of living in the professional kitchen -- both my own experiences and those of the many people I've met in over three decades of plying the Trade of the White Hat.

A graduate of the Holland College Culinary Course, I have cooked in Atlantic Coast commercial kitchens for over 30 years.  I'm a member of the Canadian Culinary Federation -- Chef de Cuisine. 

Here are my best recipes, food articles written by myself and others with an emphasis on the latest trends, a blog, stuff on my favorite mystery form - culinary mysteries - and more...

In '07, I developed critical respiratory problems that were diagnosed as an allergic reaction to the building I worked in.  This reactive problem in turn triggered Adult Onset Asthma.  I've been in other commercial kitchens since and discovered that the asthma quickly forced me out.  Not a good situation for an old cook.  A number of doctors have told me that I'll be asthmatic the rest of my life -- "Keep out of commercial kitchens!" -- My Symbicort Turbuhaler is a daily companion.  (See my Contact Page for full ABOUT ME details -- more to come...)

And -- being a Canadian Patriot -- there's the occasional rant and rave about our True North Strong and (free?).

With the RCMP Veteran's Association, I'm proud to be part of the creative team putting together the SCARLET GLORY multi-media project - Created and Produced by Mel Shaw of Nashville...

Just check out the Menu at the top of this page and pick out the item that catches your fancy.  From favorite recipes to culinary capers - they're all here...

Dig in and enjoy!

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a history and image that reflect what Canada is as a unique culture.

The story of the original North-West Mounted Police is our National Epic -- in the same way that the Arthurian Cycle reflects the British soul (or the Old West cycle of Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok and Sitting Bull tells America's story).  The Mounties' story is at the very heart of what Canadians are.

But when the Vancouver Sun reported that "Millions are Budgeted for Mountie Image," they treated the story as if it were a bad thing:

"Despite an auditor-general's report this week that suggested the RCMP needs to pare down its services and focus on core duties, one thing the force is not willing to give up is the promotion of its heritage in Canada and abroad.

"All I know of B Alan Burhoe is that he picked one of the toughest kinds of stories to write. A story of this type depends on giving the reader a full picture of strange backgrounds and totally alien life modes. Usually, only novels afford the writer the space needed to develop his exotic world, and to make the reader at home with his creation. Rare as this success is in this length, Burhoe has produced a nearly perfect example."

-- Lester Del Rey, on the story "Ornithanthropus"

"Brian has various talents, to be sure.  A passionate love of imaginative fiction blends easily with three decades as a professional cook.  A deep fascination of the truths of dreams and mythology with an abiding love of the wild fiction of the Northland -- writers like Jack London, Farley Mowat and James Oliver Curwood.  He can be quiet at times -- and then burst into joyous cheers over finding an old pulp magazine he has been seeking, or a traditional recipe for Atlantic seafood..."

-- Kate Falken, founder of The Psychic Dreams Project.
