Book excerpt: Great friends and, good food, make for memorable moments. This cookbook is a stepping stone for beginners as well as advanced chefs. You can never have too many cookbooks when you are in the kitchen, along with the knowledge that you have gleaned from many other sources. All of which helps with your food creation. I can remember at a certain time not all that long ago that there was a pot cooking in every house, because we all loved the art of cooking. But we have lost that love to fast foods and the hurry-up pace of the digital age. There is nothing like preparing and sitting down to a wonderful meal that you prepared for your family. This cookbook is geared toward simplicity and cooking delicious foods. The recipes were accumulated through my long cooking career, starting with my mother and continuing through the military (Army & Navy) to owning my own restaurant and catering business. I have been testing and collecting recipes for over fifty years, both country and urban styles. Some of the recipes come from having to cook with what was available when times were tough and show you how you can make simple ingredients shine. Enjoy.

Download or read book Think Like a Chef written by Tom Colicchio and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Think Like a Chef, Tom Colicchio has created a new kind of cookbook. Rather than list a series of restaurant recipes, he uses simple steps to deconstruct a chef's creative process, making it easily available to any home cook. He starts with techniques: What's roasting, for example, and how do you do it in the oven or on top of the stove? He also gets you comfortable with braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces. Next he introduces simple "ingredients" -- roasted tomatoes, say, or braised artichokes -- and tells you how to use them in a variety of ways. So those easy roasted tomatoes may be turned into anything from a vinaigrette to a caramelized tomato tart, with many delicious options in between. In a section called Trilogies, Tom takes three ingredients and puts them together to make one dish that's quick and other dishes that are increasingly more involved. As Tom says, "Juxtaposed in interesting ways, these ingredients prove that the whole can be greater than the sum of their parts," and you'll agree once you've tasted the Ragout of Asparagus, Morels, and Ramps or the Baked Free-Form "Ravioli" -- both dishes made with the same trilogy of ingredients. The final section of the books offers simple recipes for components -- from zucchini with lemon thyme to roasted endive with whole spices to boulangerie potatoes -- that can be used in endless combinations. Written in Tom's warm and friendly voice and illustrated with glorious photographs of finished dishes, Think Like a Chef will bring out the master chef in all of us.
