“Succulence. This is the true goal of braising; it is the aim towards which one strives, from the very beginning, and it is the direction in which all techniques and methods lead.”

Why is the website called Just Braise and you don’t just braise?
About the Name Just Braise:
A few years back Stacey was at D’s apartment when his hungover roommate, barely conscious on the couch, finally woke up.
“I’m hungry!” The roommate declared and proceeded to place an order at the most expensive restaurant in the neighborhood.
We listened with delight as the roommate ordered a salmon sandwich. How would you like that? We assumed the person on the other end of the line asked.
“Well… Just braised, of course.”
We could barely contain our laughter. Braised? Really? Does anyone place an order asking for the item to be braised (rather than grilled, seared, broiled or fried)? Does D’s roommate even know what braised means? Regardless of the answers to the questions, the blog Just Braise was born. You can read more about the name at the first post.
