Dean Martin's part is not fake, it's from this book:

I never managed to find the source for Sinatra's part.

Someone I know is a really good cook and an avid baker, so when I was lamenting my inability to cook (without recipes), he recommend three books: Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking,
The Laws of Cooking: And How to Break Them, and especially Craig Claiborne's Kitchen Primer. :) I only have the last one thus far, but it's great, and I'm hoping to get the others soon.

I wanted him to win but figured there was no way they'd allow it just given his style and their demographics, so I was thrilled when he won. He was going to have a FN show as a result of that win, and Alton Brown was going to produce it, but that fell through for reasons allegedly having to do with budget and production bandwidth.

But speaking of bandwidth, he did go on to do a web series for FN called Foodie Call. Not sure how long it lasted. And late last year he launched a show on Twitch called Chefstock. A message on that page from last month says they're on hiatus until they can find new sponsors so I guess it didn't quite take off.

He also put out a cookbook in 2015.

I hope he finds a nice groove and is able to keep doing fun things.

I really enjoyed Every Day Cook but it only does a so-so job of saying why things work and how they work. His kale salad has been a go-to for many a potluck though because it's a crowd favorite even with kale. So that's nice.

I would say, for a book with more "here's why and how" Justin Warner's The Laws of Cooking: How to Break Them is really cool and scratches that itch of cool personality and interesting food techniques.

Hi, the Hairy Bikers Curry book is a good one. I got bought it recently and the recipes are really easy and you build up a small stock of spices and herbs as you go. It's a good starting point to make some tasty stuff. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Hairy-Bikers-Great-Curries/0297867334

u/TheGeordieOne · 4 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

I use three books from some guys who are tv chefs here in the UK.

They're called the hairy bikers (or the hairy dieters for these books) and I've used them for a long time. Simple, straight forward recipes which I write down the ingredients for on a list every Sunday. Couldn't be easier and they taste really good.

And there's another green book which is fairly recent.

Noto ora che sono tutti inglesi, ma si vede che li sanno fare bene.

Per robe solo italiane, il ricettario di Osterie d'Italia spacca

Hey, here's the recipe - paprika chicken.

It's fairly easy to customise too, we normally skip the creme fraiche and use chicken breast instead of chicken thighs.

If you're interested the book it comes from is the Hairy Dieters, it's full of low cal ways of cooking everyday dishes and unlike most diet recipes they don't taste like they are missing something haha!

u/McIgglyTuffMuffin · 2 pointsr/Cooking

I'd recommend Justin Warner's new cookbook The Laws of Cooking and How to Break Them.

I mention it since the top comment is Gin and Tonic and in this book Gin and Tonic is one of his "laws." Basically Justin takes things we are familiar with, peanut butter and jelly, coffee with cream and sugar, gin and tonics, and then breaks down why these flavors work together. Then he gives you a bunch of recipes based on those "laws."

I've enjoyed everything I've made out of it so far.

I would love this cookbook please!

This fantabulous cookbook would enable me to cook fantastic food for my family to stop them foraging in the cupboards! It would also help me to lose the flab and get a fantastic figure!

u/parabolicuk · 1 pointr/askgaybros

It's really easy to get stuck in a rut of cooking the same stuff over and over, which is when it stops being fun.


I got the family to buy me a load of cook books for Xmas/birthday, so now at least once a week I try a recipe I've not done before. I've built up a repertoire of reasonably healthy recipes that are easy enough I can do them on autopilot while I listen to the radio.

A couple of my favourites, all with easily scalable recipes:
Nigella Express


Hairy Dieters

Growing herbs on the window sill is really easy, and it means you always have the ingredients to spruce up a bag of salad when I can't be doing with chopping loads of stuff.


Oh, and don't be afraid to cheat - eg I normally buy colselaw rather than make, tinned chickpeas and lentils rather than dried ( also a good alternative to potatoes)

u/hsmithakl · 1 pointr/newzealand

Waaaaaaaaaaaah that's why I was gonna do this in the PM. It's this one

u/larrz · 1 pointr/italy

Questa non la conoscevo, interessante. Quella che ho provato io l'ho presa dal suo libro Heston at Home.

u/qaz_qaz · 1 pointr/food

Many chefs now are resorting to the more accurate measurement of weight opposed to volume. Heston Blumenthal has an interesting commentary about it in his book Heston Blumenthal At Home you can see the relevent pages here: http://imgur.com/a/tYACX

u/Ester1234 · 1 pointr/xxketo

I totally agree. I love to cook as well and you dont need 'keto' recipes. Just yummy ones. This cookbook is amazing for recipes.
