Book Reviews of The Food You Want to Eat: 100 Smart, Simple Recipes
Book Review: The photo book of Ted Allen
Summary: 1 Stars
Filled with somewhat complicated recipes, and lots of pictures of Ted Allen - not of the food. I did appreciate that book came with a clear plastic protective cover.
Summary of The Food You Want to Eat: 100 Smart, Simple Recipes
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's food-and-wine connoisseur, Ted Allen, presents a quick-reference cookbook-giving you the food you really want to cook and eat, and the know-how to pull it off with ease."With most cookbooks, you could plow through 134 pages of complicated hors d'oeuvres, salads, and the author's philosophical musings about food before you get to the stuff you actually want to eat. Not here. I'm going to save you the trouble and get to the point right up front." These first sentences of the book sum up what Ted Allen's The Food You Want to Eat is all about-the tempting, delicious, satisfying fare you really want on your dinner table tonight, without the fuss and the formalities. Chapters include:
.I Know What You Want to Eat: the essentials of steak, chicken both fried and roasted, warm caramel brownie sundaes, and a luscious mac and cheese that will have you thinking outside the box-way outside.
.Happy Hour: for the kind of parties real people actually throw; no engraved invitations or seating charts, just easy, delicious recipes like crostini, a simple tuna tartare that kicks, the crowd-pleasing spicy Cajun "pigs" in much nicer "blankets" than you're used to, four incredible pizzas (one for each season), and of course ten perfect cocktails.
.The Cookout: fulfilling everyone's desire for great barbecued ribs, plus the more adventurous (but even easier) rosemary grilled leg of lamb, and Ted's secret to the ultimate hamburger.
.Poultry: whether baked, braised, or saut?ed, chicken is often what's for weeknight dinner, and here's everything from soy-and-honey-glazed roast chicken to "around the world on a chicken breast" with superb ways to liven up those boneless, skinless, tasteless cutlets. Plus a simple (really!) duck, and a turkey that doesn't demand the traditional Thanksgiving heroics.
Ted also delves into chapters on an array of fantastic salads that are a far cry from rabbit food; pastas featuring Italian classics like a great ziti with sausage and your basic pasta with red sauce, as well as easy Asian adventures such as cold soba noodles with sesame-peanut sauce; seafood for everyone who's afraid to cook fish; meats that range from an amazing marinated grilled pork tenderloin and killer chili to a classic pot roast and osso buco; vegetable recipes that will make you love broccoli in a whole new way; and desserts for after dinner-and breakfasts for after after dinner.
This is the debut cookbook from one of the most engaging, most entertaining people ever to wield a spatula, filled with the incredibly simple, delicious real-life recipes for The Food You Want to Eat. In a word, mmmm.
Ted Allen, the food-and-wine expert from Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, has written a cookbook for those seeking a solid dish repertoire for everyday cooking and entertaining alike. The Food You Want to Eat offers 100 recipes for the likes of Old School Caesar Salad; Crispy Oven-Fried Crabcakes; Paella with Seafood, Chicken and Chorizo; and Mustardy Barbecued Spareribs. These favorites that live up to the book's title, but Allen also provides some repertoire-stretching dishes like Pan-Roasted Salmon with Tomato Vinaigrette and Thai Green Chicken Curry with Vegetables. In his role as cooking tutor, and in asides like The Essentials of Steak, Allen also helps readers to understand how dishes work, and therefore how to cook more easily. A whole chapter that imparts cookout smarts, plus a short selection of easy-to-do meal-finales, which includes Chocolate-Glazed Almond Butter Cake, Warm Spiced Apple Tart, and New Age Floats, round out this useful, photo-illustrated collection. --Arthur Boehm
