Troble Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) I like the show Top Chef and itās really the thing that pushed me to start trying to elevate my cooking. I binged watched the first 2Ā seasons over a couple days while staying with my then girlfriends family in South Africa back in 2008 and from that long on Iāve watched every season and itās always inspired me to try new recipes or learn mew techniques at homeĀ one of my favorite chefs all time from that show was Gregory who does a lot of southeast Asian style healthy cooking. He just released his first cookbook and i received my copy the other day abs holy smokes am I excited. It could be because itās very timely and that I happen to be in a period where Iām actively looking to Jeff up (no pun intended) my vegetable, sides & salad game or the fact that Iām increasingly finding a need to serve vegan dishes for at least one guest, but I found at least 20 recipes plus in his book that I am genuinely excited to try. There also some great poultry and meat dishes and the photography is visually stunning. Iām extremely excited to add this to my collection and try out a lot of these. Ā I love southeasternĀ Asian cooking and have beenĀ Thinking about how I havenāt made my red & green Thai curry pastes in 4-5 years, was planning on doing that sometime soon anyways. I make red & green pastes and store them in containers, vacuum seal it and they are amazing for a quick meal full of flavorĀ anyways check out his book if youāre into that type of thingĀ Everyone's Table: Global Recipes... https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062984519?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Edited May 12, 2021 by Troble 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygies Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Wow, both authors wear their glasses better than I'd be able to pull off.Ā š I'm normally profoundly suspicious of the current trend that one needs a successful blog or other social media presence to get a cookbook published. These are generally not the people I want to learn from. However, GourdetĀ got his start working withĀ Jean-Georges Vongerichten, whose NYC Asian fusion restaurants are spectacular. The Joule sous vide website features some recipes of Gourdet's, for those who like to get a read on an author before buying a book: Three Asian Grilling Classics Reimagined, With Gregory Gourdet The Char Siu pork tenderloin, sous vide, looks like he's ahead of me on something I've been trying to figure out. I'll try it. I'll probably finish over the Solo Stove. Edited May 12, 2021 by Syzygies 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
