Steven Records

I founded Gourmade to share gourmet recipes that you can make at home. I was sick of the "quick & easy" recipes that were constantly a let down. So I decided to share my restaurant quality dishes that is also somewhat health conscious. It's food you can feel proud to serve your family and friends. I am based in Springfield, MO with my wife and 2 kids.

Babyccino (Café Steamer)

Babyccino (Café Steamer)

A tiny steamer served in a macchiato cup, with warm frothy milk and a pinch of cinnamon on top. We like it as an easy treat, a coffee-shop moment for kids, or a low-drama bedtime drink that feels more special than plain milk.

Summer Berry Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Summer Berry Salad with Balsamic Dressing

This salad is bright, fruity, and exactly the kind of thing we want on the table when berries are at their best. Sweet strawberries and blueberries, tangy goat cheese, and a sharp honey-balsamic dressing already make a strong case, then the cinnamon candied walnuts come in and seal the deal.

Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Balsamic Vinaigrette

This is the kind of dressing worth memorizing because it takes about 5 minutes and works with a ridiculous number of salads. It has enough sharpness from the balsamic, enough richness from the olive oil, and just enough honey to round everything out without turning sweet.

Maui Mango Kombucha

Maui Mango Kombucha

We brew a strong Maui Mango sweet tea, then let a healthy SCOBY do its thing. After the first ferment, it gets transferred to bottles for a second ferment to make it fizzy, soda-like tropical drink.

Chori Queso

Chori Queso

A dual-cheese base of white American (for that impossibly smooth melt) and Oaxaca (authentic Mexican string cheese) gets loaded with chorizo, peppers, and a bright hit of lime, cilantro, and green onion right at the end.
