NDG: Creative and original recipes — many of which are classic twists on dishes we all know and love, and others completely new and inventive. I am so excited for people to get cooking! Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the sugar has started to caramelize. Flip the bacon, brush with the remaining maple syrup, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes more, depending on your desired crispness.

[4] He is of Persian, Italian, German, and British descent. [5] [6] He is the oldest of four brothers. He developed a passion for food at a young age by watching his grandmother and great-grandmother cook meals for the family. [7] Education [ edit ]For his senior year, DiGiovanni analyzed data on carbon emissions in 36 international restaurants from Singapore to San Francisco. His thesis was advised by American author and journalist Michael Pollan. [9] DiGiovanni moves on to recipes, and this is the most substantial portion of the book. He organizes the book by the type of meal. Breakfast opens with pancakes. He tells you how to make the most of your ingredients. DiGiovanni even has a technique for making a different type of salt. The book has QR codes you can scan to see videos related to the recipe. Admittedly, some of the recipes live up to that promise a bit better than others. To be sure, there are several recipes in here that look just as impressive as anything you might find in a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with relatively simple ingredients and techniques accessible to home chefs. But there are also a couple that don’t quite hit that “impressive” mark or which might be a bit more intimidating to the home cook. NDG: My dad’s mother — we called her ‘Helga’ — was unstoppable in the kitchen. I remember one of the first dishes she’d made that I ended up replicating at home was a very simple salad. Romaine lettuce, a simple homemade vinaigrette, some shaved parmigiano reggiano, sliced bell peppers, and toasted pine nuts. The simple technique of tasting the pine nuts is what made this dish a true star. I also got into baking at a pretty early age and remember being quite proud of myself when I made my first lemon meringue pie.

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat one side of each slice of bread with mayonnaise, about 1/2 tablespoon per slice. NDG: Salt is everywhere — food just doesn’t taste right without it. Ironically, one of the first moments I felt the desire to create a better salt was in a restaurant that had a set of those old style salt and pepper shakers on the table. I remember looking at the salt shaker, which had a few grains of old rice in there to keep it dry, then turning to the pepper which looked stale and discolored, and thinking that—in this particular situation—there was no excuse not to have high quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the two most basic of seasonings.
