A Review for the Daring Kitchen

A month ago Ian and I were asked to write a review for a very summer-ie cookbook from Bobby Flay called Burgers, Fries, and Shakes. We were so excited and had a great time cooking and eating our way though the book.

Please click here to read the review and see all the beautiful pictures that Ian took. Also check out the Daring Kitchen website while you're at it!

Valérie said...: Very cool that you were asked to do this! I just read the review, well done! When I first saw this book advertised, I thought "An entire book based on burgers, nah, that's way too specific", but I've been hearing and reading really good things about it... So I'm kind of on the fence about it. The recipes you sampled look mouth-watering, though!

I just have one question: is the book only for people who own flaming barbecues, or are there alternative grilling/cooking methods?; August 9, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Coco Bean said...: Valerie, actually I found that the book was more geared towards people that don't have a BBQ and there was only a little blurb at the beginning about how to BBQ the burgers... so yes, this book is made for the pan. Weird eh!

Thanks for the kind words, it was a lot of fun!; August 9, 2009 at 5:58 PM

Simones Kitchen said...: Just read the review too! Very well done and love the photos too Ian! :) Like Valerie said my first thought was also... why a whole book on burgers but...hmm, I do love burgers so maybe this is a book I should actually get!; August 11, 2009 at 2:25 AM

Ian, Christie, and Coco

Christie and Ian are a couple living in Montreal whom are in their late 20’s and early 30's. When Christie met Ian he would eat bologna sandwiches for dinner because that is just what single guys do. Christie began to cook for the both of them and so started their culinary adventures. Ian is the photographer and Christie looks after most of the cuisine and sweets. They both graduated with a BFA in Painting and Drawing. While Ian went off to work for the man and is doing quite well for himself, Christie kept on and just finished her second degree in a Specialization in Cell and Molecular Biology. Coco Bean Chanel is Christie’s cat. Coco is one of those animals that can make a horrible day bright, and is so cute no one can resist her purr powers. It’s true. Ian is crazy about photography and Christie. Christie is crazy about cooking and Ian…. and her Coco Bean.
