Ted Allen from Top Chef gives a fun, thorough and easy-to-follow video on how to cook a bone-in-shoulder. “The secret,” he says, “is to cook it long and slow.” It’s worth the wait. That roast looks heavenly!
Plus, it takes just minutes to marinate, and you can go on with the rest of your life while the food cooks.
Chemist, chef, philosopher
Wylie Dufresne is known in the culinary world for his unique approach to cooking (“molecular gastronomy”) that combinies the science and art of making a perfect meal. Fascinating factoid: he was actually a philosophy major!
He recently guested on Top Chef, and granted an excellent one on one interview with his comments on each Top Chef contestant.
Top Chef breaks the snob barrier
Chefs are a notoriously snooty lot, and when Top Chef first debuted, it sent most of them snickering. Many of them don’ even like TV chefs or celebrity chefs — a chef selected from a reality show was even lower down the totem pole.
Not anymore. Some say that thanks to the success of the first three seasons, and the thumbs up it has received from well respected chefs (who even appeared in the panel of judges) the show has actually legitimized itself.
Too bad Rachael Ray can’t join.
