My chosen book = Justin crazy time

07 Jun

41WN8EMJ32L._SS500_Julie tasked me with finding a cookbook to go through, to match her bread quest.  To be clear – I am not a cook, unless pouring milk on cereal counts as cooking.  This will definitely be much more of a challenge for myself.  Expect lots of whiny cries of “Juuullliieee” as I go through recipies when I get stuck or don’t know what to do.  The book I chose is “Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook“.  This is a collection of French Bistro recipes for all sorts of different ingredients, from potatoes to seafood to pork.  I chose this one because we have both read Anthony Bourdain’s other books and enjoy his writing style, and this cookbook follows in the same patterns.  I like being berated in all sorts of colorful language when I read a cookbook.  Plus, he turned us on to bone marrow, so I know the recipes will be good.  I know there will be some horrible things going wrong as I attempt this (hooray for Polito’s and El Mezcal), and I know for a fact that we are going to have to be creative in how we obtain certain ingredients, but at the same time I have always wanted to learn how to at least feed myself, so this will be a good start.  Normally when Julie is gone I mooch off friends, eat Portessi cheese fries, and go to my parents’ house for meals.

    We will happily be guinea pigs….especially if the bone marrow recipe is in that book.

    I like the new website. So professional! I am looking forward to the upcoming cookbook critiques and food journeys. Are you guys a fan of Jamie Oliver? We are big fans of his show and will be getting a book or two shortly. He has a great simplistic cooking style.
