So, I'm currently in the middle of reading a book called "Julie & Julia", which I bought for the soul purpose of seeing if it would be better than the movie that's coming out this summer. If you don't know the story, Julie Powell (author of the book) spends a year going through the recipes in Julia Child's book 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking'. This has me thinking: Maybe I can do something like this? I don't think I could do Julia Child, just because I'm not terribly fond of French food. So, what chef has recipes that I could spend a year following? Here's the list so far:
1. Paula Dean: My tastebuds would be more accustomed to a PD dish...but I'd die prematurely of heart disease.
2. Rachel Ray: 1/2 the world has done something of her's for an extended period
3. Bobby Flay: here's the question with that: Do I want to grill almost everything for a year (or add cilantro to everything for a year)?
4. Morimoto: 1st, I can't spell his first name...second, I don't think he has a cookbook
5. Cat Cora: We may be able to work with something here...although no one ever challenges her on Iron Chef (well, since i've been watching)...but she's southern and her accent is genuine
6. Guy (whose last name I can't say): we may also be somewhere with him...everything i've seen him make looks like something I would try
7. Michael Symon: I've liked what I've seen him do as well...and i love his voice
8. Gordon Ramsey: my boyfriend watches Gordon Ramsey religiously, so this has to be an option
anyways, that's what I've come up with so far...oh, I can't figure out if next week is the finale of the next food network star or not, but if it is, i'll probably have an opinion about it, so stay tuned!
