Pickle Me This With Patrick Feury of Nectar

Going into this class, I had to release my mind of preconceived notions: that Patrick Feury only cooks Asian; that cooking risotto isn’t worth the trouble; that freakish mushrooms are best left in the ground; and that i don’t like pickled food.  Leaving this class, all of those notions were proved to be myths. A run-down…

The Bibou Family Comes to COOK

COOK got up close and personal with the Calmels family on their only night off (Monday, October 3) and got a special peak into the magic they create at Bibou six nights a week.

Vietnamese Cooking with Kiong Banh

I was first introduced to Kiong Banh by Marc Vetri about 12 years ago and that introduction changed my life. I have to thank Marc for that.

Kiong and I met for coffee one morning and though he said very little, I knew he was my guy from the way Marc spoke about him and by the respect he showed him.  In an industry that has so many stresses, I was so lucky over that cup of coffee to have found such a good man to become my partner over these years. He has taught me so much.
