TV chef Tyler Florence brings a direct, regular-guy charm to cooking that is equally straightforward, simple and good. In Tyler’s Ultimate, he offers 100-plus recipes for just this kind of food—-"ultimate" versions of dishes like onion soup, crab cakes and spaghetti carbonara, as well as more innovative fare like Chicken Paillard with Fresh Fig Salad and Blue Cheese, Grilled Leg of Lamb with Lemon Chickpea Puree and Greens, and Coconut Shrimp with Basmati Rice, Apricots, and Lime. His desserts, all tempting, include the likes of Chocolate Banana Bread, and Almond Semifreddo with Spiced Honey Dried Fruit. Many of the dishes in this concise collection reflect a thoughtful winnowing of ingredients and technique to produce food that is not only delicious, but can be prepared on a regular basis. Some of Florence’s inventions—-like Watermelon Gazpacho with Chile and Feta Cheese, which is entirely accomplished in a blender-—are ingenious. Photo-illustrated throughout, "Ultimate" is for cooks who want their kitchen work to be as easy as possible, but who also require good cooking—-dishes that capture fully their flavor potential. --Arthur Boehm
This review is from: Tyler\'s Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time [Hardcover]I saw Tyler Florence make this amazing Mac and Cheese on his namesake show and was excited to see that he had a cookbook filled with the recipes from his show. I have made several recipes from this cookbook and they have all come out wonderfully. The Ultimate Grilled Shrimp recipe was so easy and what's even better is that my husband thinks I'm this master cook. The shrimp stayed moist and succulent. I love broccoli and Tyler's roasted broccoli recipe is amazing. There are only 4 ingredients, but this simple vegetable comes out with very complex flavors. There's no sugar added, but roasting the broccoli over high heat brought out this amazing sweetness. I can't wait to try the other recipes. I usually don't write reviews, but thought foodies shouldn't miss this cookbook....
This review is from: Tyler\'s Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time [Hardcover]I love cookbooks that will teach me new recipes and new tricks, and this book does both. I let my 5 year old pick out a recipe for dinner the other night (I figured if he picks it, he'll eat it), and he chose a coconut rice and chicken dish similar to paella but not with Spanish flavors. It looked OK to me, not something I've ever seen before. It was a perfect one pot meal that the whole family devoured! It was simple and very tasty, but the best part about it, it was DIFFERENT! There are so many cookbooks out there with wonderful recipes (I have bookshelves filled with many of them), but so many of them just have variations of the same meals. Tyler really mixes things up with his new book, and I am thrilled with the results!...
This review is from: Tyler\'s Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time [Hardcover]This new cookbook is chock full of wonderful comfort foods. Each recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous photo. Tyler's new television show of the same name is a great cooking show with Tyler alone in the kitchen doing what he does best. He takes an ordinary dish and makes it a little something extra special with his own Tyler twist and that goes for all the recipes in the new cookbook. It is billed as being a companion to the TV show. I have made many of Tyler's recipes over the past few years and they always come out a little cut above any one else's recipe in my opinion. If you liked Tyler's first 2 cookbooks then you will love this one....
