A Complete Catalogue of all Recipes & Topics

Jul 14, 2022

Welcome back Friends,

This Substack will be pinned to the Substack page to serve as a reference for you to easily find all the past recipes, topics discussed and all things Octopod.

Substack does have a search feature but having everything categorized should make finding previous content much easier and help with other drops you may have missed.

Compiling this was eye opening.. there is so much content, recipes and cooking gold. If you’ve been a subscriber for a while, scroll through. I forgot some of the past issues and I was the one writing them! 😂

Enjoy and thank you for your support!

*This will be updated regularly

Craken Culinary 🐙 🔪

A lot of you haven’t seen my products page so here is a list of current offerings. There are more in the works 😉

*For international shipping, reach out to me as I do this on a case by case basis depending on freight and country destination.

Craken Spices & Seasonings

This is a line of seasonings and spices I launched at the end of last year after many requests from readers.

I took my importer contacts from my chef world and use the highest quality herbs, spices and seasonings to make a line of products which makes cooking at home EASY and gives you the BEST flavors possible.

The gamut runs from Steak, to Taco, to Fajita, to Curry, spicy Dragon, to my Asian inspired 2K (containing Korean Kimchi, miso, sesame and other goodies).

These are huge timesavers for maximum flavor. Just use the seasoning and cook. Done ✅

Craken Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate has been known for centuries as a natural high-caffeine boost that gives increased focused. The perfect alternative for those who aren’t coffee enthusiasts or who just want a “cleaner” caffeine high.

The Yerba mate I use have a very low stem to leaf ratio which helps achieve maximum potency and flavor.

The Yerba Crak is a new innovation. Yerba Mate leaves are ground on matcha tea stones to create a powder. Just 1/4-1/2 tsp will get you into the Yerba zone.

Craken Premium Coffee ☕️

I’m on mission to show people that good coffee ☕️ is an incredible explosion of flavor. Every sip is an enjoyment. I teamed up with an artisan roaster who gets the best quality beans directly sourced. Then we dial in the roast and flavors.

This roaster is only working with me, from a connection I had from being in the Food & Bev industry. That means it’s not a drop-shipped product, which most online coffees are using the same roaster… and aren’t good.

“Eat Guilt Free” Cookbook

This was a partnership with BowtiedOx. He’s the premier expert on fitness and health. So we teamed up to give you the best recipes, with the macros included to show you that healthy eating should be delicious.

Octopod Classic Chef Knife 🔪

The original product that started the Octopod Culinary brand. Bringing the perfect chefs knife to home cooks. I partnered with a 750 year old Japanese bladesmith to bring you a razor sharp, low maintenance blade. This is the most important purchase to start your cooking journey.
