Ok, now prepare yourself for some tips!
If there is one book that you need to read before end of this month it is "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdan. It is not a regular cooking book, and it is not just a story, it is an amazing adventure of Anthony's feelings, food, emotions, true story of the career path that was quite tough and sometimes not recognised but lead to the success. I just so much laughed about the following. Happened to me too once:
"AN EPISODE FROM THE Wilderness Years.
Things were not going well. It was August, and my tree from the previous year's Christmas still
lay in a heap of brown, dead pine needles in my dark, unused dining room. I was ashamed to
take it out to the trash, not wanting my neighbors to see how far I'd fallen, how utterly paralyzed
I'd become by my years of excess. Eventually, my wife and I would make a heroic effort to
dispose of the incriminating object-chopping it up like a dead body and stuffing it in plastic bags
before lugging it in the dead of night a few floors down and leaving it near a known coke dealer's
doorway. Let him take the rap, we figured".
And if there is one soup that you need to eat this winter, it is beetroot soup. One of the recipes that I have tried, you can find here. Dutch shops are selling this amazing achievement - pre-cooked beetroots that is so easy to cut and lightly saute and here you go - it is almost ready.
And...if there is one series you want to watch in the dark january day under the blanket with a warm cup of tea is: The Killing . The one we watch now via Netflix is done by American producers, but there is also the original version from Denmark which is pretty cool.
And that is all from me today, tired from swimming, having a glass of red wine, looking forward to a first working week of 2015.
