I know some folks are going to tease me a bit about this particular cookbook as it has been out for a while, but I won’t by just any book and this one intrigued me. Why, you might ask? Simply, I am really not interested in the so many cook books that offer 30 meals in thirty minutes with three ingredients. Hey, I can do that too: take a steak add salt and pepper and grill! Drink beer. Oooops… does beer count as a 4th ingredient?
However, I am very fond of one pot meals be they the South African Potjeikos (‘Potjies’) or the many from around the world!
Chef Boulud has put together a wonderful assortment of one pot meals ( some could even be adapted to the crock pot)… and a couple have caught my eye: one was chicken with a Tamarind sauce and the other involved oxtails and pears … very intriguing!
