Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Borscht by Blais

    • Acarroll on November 05, 2023

      Surprisingly good! I can't believe this used canned beets. The caraway, dill, and sour cream totally made the dish.

  • Jerked spatchcock chicken and plantains

    • fprincess on September 11, 2017

      Disappointed that he doesn't explain how to spatchcock or remove the breast cartilage (I know how to spatchcock but wasn't sure how to remove the cartilage), and also that he called for a pre-made jerk spice mix, although that does save time. I used Walkerswood hot & spicy with the amount specified, and could have used a bit more (it wasn't very hot). The chicken turned out great but I had to cook it about 20 min more than what the recipe called for (it was a fairly large chicken). Also I lost most of the skin to the grill; it would have been good to have tips to avoid that!

  • Short-ribs with lemongrass

    • cholloway on February 26, 2025

      This recipe is for boneless beef ribs.

  • Oxtail with mashed yucca

    • fprincess on April 30, 2019

      This is very flavorful, and yields a wonderful sauce. Instead of the traditional slow cook method, I made it in the pressure cooker on high for 45 min with natural release. I think it could probably spend another 15 min in there to be a little more tender.

  • Charred eggplant with chickpeas, olives, and za'atar-spiked yogurt

    • fprincess on September 08, 2023

      Charred eggplant with zaatar-spiked yoghurt is a classic combination, and all the diverse ingredients somehow work together. But would I make it again? Probably not.

  • English pea risotto

    • fprincess on February 27, 2019

      Adapted for the pressure cooker, 6 min on high with manual release. Used 1/4 cup dry vermouth. Fairly bland; next time I will season with preserved lemon for more flavor. Had to use a mini robot coupe because the blender didn’t work for the pea purée

Fans know Richard Blais best as the winner of Bravo's Top Chef All-Stars, the first competitor to be invited back as a permanent judge on Top Chef, and now as a Food Network regular as well. On television, Blais is famous for his daring cooking, making use of science (think liquid nitrogen) to dazzle and impress. But how does he cook at home when the cameras are off? That's what this book will answer, with elevated homestyle recipes and personal stories which invite you behind the scenes and into his own kitchen for the first time. Some recipes might look familiar, like spaghetti and meatballs, but have a secret, flavor-boosting ingredient, and others feature clever but unexpected techniques, like his fried chicken which is first marinated in pickle juice. These are creative recipes that anyone can make and are sure to excite, from Seabass with Ginger Beer and Bok Choy to Jerked Spatchcock Chicken and Plantains, making this this the book Blais fans have been waiting for.
