Fearless is definitely a good title,

This review is from: The Fearless Chef: Innovative Recipes from the Edge of American Cuisine (Paperback)
I absolutely love this cookbook. I think Andy is a genius. Four recipes come to mind immediately as EXCEPTIONAL:
* Basil-encrusted pork with corn relish * Fried-chicken with green onion gravy * Kung Pao shrimp * Margarita cake OK, now I'm hugry. That said, I wouldn't recommend this for the more casual chefs. Andy has some unique flavor combinations which are much harder adjusting if you don't have everything you need, or if you want to fit them to your taste.

great new resource,
This review is from: The Fearless Chef: Innovative Recipes from the Edge of American Cuisine (Paperback)
I recently got my copy of The Fearless Chef and am systematically working my way through the recipes. I'm still in appetizers (well, I'm in appetizers and in drinks, because I'm working my way through from both the front and the back of the book). Husbands makes the ordinary new again. Like devilled eggs? You'll flip for the these fearless ones--they're nothing like my grandmother used to make. The chopped salads bring salad flavor quotients to an entirely new level--these things are amazing. So far the nosh and salad dishes are riffs on something familiar but with new flavor combinations and juxtapositions. The tastes and textures are bold and subtle--there's always more going on than you'd expect. So far the recipes have been very accessible and the ingredients available; they're heavy on fresh herbs and freshly toasted whole spices. The writing style is humorous and easy to read and filled with useful background information on ingredients and techniques (who knew that the secret to really good southern style biscuits is a flour called Lily White (or is it While Lily?)? It's one of those cookbooks that's not only good to cook from, but is fun to read because the voice comes through so brightly (you get the clear sense that Husbands and Yonan have had interesting lives and have been focused on food for a long time). The one drawback that I've found so far is that the typeface and positioning for the names of recipes is a little hard to get used to. But then soon enough my pages will be so splatted with the fruits of these recipes that it won't really matter. A great cookbook all around.

I've been a patron of Andy's restaurants for close to a decade. Now that I have a few of his secrets, I can share them with guests who don't live in the area. The recipes in this book are fantastic! The smells, textures and creativity within the pages will have your mouth watering the moment you open the book. Be fearless and explore Andy's world of cuisine!
