Richard Blais – författare

From Bravo’s Top Chef All-Stars winner Richard Blais comes his very cool debut cookbook for home cooks looking to up their game with more excitement in the kitchen. This is accessible and fun, and includes the signature recipes, flavor combinations, and cooking techniques that have made him such a popular chef. A new way to make a dish is always on Richard Blais’s mind. He has a wildly creative approach—whether it’s adding coffee to his butter, which he serves with pancakes; incorporating the flavors of pastrami into mustard; making cannelloni out of squid; microwaving apple sauce for his pork chops; or cooking lamb shanks in root beer. In his debut cookbook, with equal degrees of enthusiasm and humor, he shares 125 delicious recipes that are full of surprise and flavor. Plus there are 25 variations to add more adventure to your cooking—such as making cheese foam for your burger or mashed sous vide peas to serve alongside your entrée. Dive into an exploration of your kitchen for both creativity and enjoyment. Now try this at home!

With his wife and personal trainer Jazmin as his guide, Richard Blais found his path to health by moving meat to the side in favour of a plant-centric diet and adopting a fitness routine that fit with his busy lifestyle. In their new book, the Blaises open their kitchen and their lives to show you how they eat and maintain healthy habits when the cameras are off. Each bold recipe features Blais's creative signature style and allows veggies and whole grains to play the starring role on the plate, with meat as an addition, garnish, or perfect side.
