Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work
Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot
This is one of my favorite cookbooks from the last year (although actually published at the end of 2010). Aki and Alex bring a unique and innovative approach to cooking, working to rethink flavor combinations and technique in order to create some terrific dishes. Their book adds to the many recipes that they share from their blog, also called “Ideas in Food.”
Dishes like root beer braised short ribs, cold-smoked fried chicken, pressure cooker “micro stocks,” and brown butter ice cream are all really accessible. I’ve mostly used the section of the book for home cooks, but you can also learn a lot from the section for professionals, even if you’re not cooking with liquid nitrogen and using a vacuum sealer to cook dishes sous vide.
ALL TIME FAVORITE! I consider this to be my bible.
Golden Beet-Orange Curd. Shortbread. Poached Dried Berries. Coriander Meringue.
I secretly aspire to become a pastry chef.
My FAVORITE, ChoLon!
I think a celebratory grilled cheese is in order!
