ART McMillan, David The Art of Living According to Joe Beef (1607740141)
The debut cookbook from one of the most celebrated restaurants in Canada, featuring inventive twists on French market cuisine, plus spirited anecdotes and lush photography. Earning rave reviews for their unforgettable approach, Joe Beef co-owners/chefs David McMillan and Frederic Morin push the limits of traditional French cuisine with over 125 recipes (nearly all of them photographed) for hearty dishes infused with irreverent personality. The
Strip Loin Steak comes complete with ten variations,
Kale for a Hangover wisely advises the cook to eat and then go to bed, and the
Marjolaine includes tips for welding your own cake mold. Joe Beef's most popular dishes are also represented, such as
Spaghetti Homard-Lobster,
Foie Gras Breakfast Sandwich,
Pork Fish Sticks, and
Pojarsky de Veau (a big, moist meatball served on a bone). The
coup de grace is the Smorgasbord--Joe Beef's version of a Scandinavian open-faced sandwich--with thirty different toppings.
Featuring lively stories and illustrations showcasing gangsters, oysters, Canadian railroad dining car food, the backyard smoker, and more, this nostalgic yet utterly modern cookbook is a groundbreaking guide to living an outstanding culinary life.
