The Mind Of A Chef

PBS, still the best channel for cooking shows, has done it again with The Mind of a Chef. Narrated by Anthony Bourdain, cooking by David Chang, it’s thoughtful and provoking. The episode I just saw showed the secret of the poached egg used in Momofuku’s ramen. You can also watch episodes online (but not in Canada).

Anthony Bourdain – Cook It Raw

I watched the Cook It Raw episode of No Reservations today and it was one of the best episodes I saw. Lots of new and experimental foods from the worlds top chefs.

I also stumbled onto Anthony Bourdains tumbler account. While not really active it is quite insightful especially given his imminent leave to CNN.

Easy Bread

Without a mixer, bread is sometimes daunting. Especially when kneading is so essential. However a few years ago the NY Times posted a wonderful recipe for no-knead bread. It’s extremely easy if you have the time to start it the night before. The recipe was republished at smitten kitchen .
