The art of living according to joe beef pdf

I mean WTF? Where's the beef? I found some of the stories somewhat interesting but don't need them in a cookbook. I don't care about the chefs interests. So they like trains. They like to drink. The Irish fattie wants to pour wine into his eyeballs. They like flea markets. I know they are married to women but they sound like a couple - antiquing and wine-tasting weekend anyone? The food is ugly, gross and ridiculous. The entire experience made me want to eat salad and to curl up with my cat.

Not to eat her. Nov 11, Will rated it it was amazing. A great book of stories and food from those crazy French Canadians. Dec 27, Lynne Faubert rated it really liked it Shelves: my-cookbooks. I love cookbooks that go beyond recipes, that invite you into the chef's universe and sensibilities. This one set a standard of sorts for me disclaimer, lol, I know these guys. Feb 21, Eric rated it it was amazing. I have very rarely added cookbooks to my G. I just know this is one of my top five favorite non-fiction of all time!

An instant classic. May 21, Cinnamon rated it liked it. This book is gorgeous and it provides a great insight to the folks behind the restaurant. If I were headed to Montreal, had been to this restaurant, or was friends with the staff, I think I would have rated it higher.

But as a cookbook, while the photographs are delicious, the instructions are clear, and the dishes sound amazing, I'm just not going to cook much of anything in this book, sadly. Which makes it great food porn, but not a great cookbook for me. I'm not squeamish, cooking meat is som This book is gorgeous and it provides a great insight to the folks behind the restaurant. I'm not squeamish, cooking meat is something I do frequently and feel like I do well, but the dishes sound like things I'd be happier to eat than to make.

So when I go to Montreal and eat here, I'll likely refer to the travel suggestions in the back and may come back and change my mind about whether I would cook these dishes myself.

While there are a variety of recipes that stand out in my mind as high in technical difficulty cornflake eel nuggets anyone? He gives some other instructions other than recipes such as building your own smoker and making your own absinthe that seem interesting.

If you are one to sit do I read an article by a chef that mentioned this was his favorite cookbook from the last 10 years. If you are one to sit down and read a cookbook as I am, this may be one for you. I did borrow it from the library which I decided was a good thing. The pictures are lush and there is even a guide to visiting Montreal Montreal in Two Days. I can see why a chef would mention this book as one of his favorites.

I didn't check this out for the recipes, so perhaps I am not this book's ideal reader - I was more interested in the writers' anecdotes about Montreal and building their dream restaurant s there. I found their style of writing too affected and self-consciously wacky to really enjoy and intentionally or not, very reminiscent of David Chang - so while they're probably nice enough people to talk to and to have cook for you , they're a bit too irritating to spend much time with in print.

The pictures are beautiful, though. Feb 20, Asta rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-star. Joe Beef and Liverpool House are two of my favourite restaurants in Montreal so when I heard that Fred and David were putting out a cookbook I was excited.

This isn't really a cookbook, although there are plenty of fine recipes. This a food manifesto. This is a history of the making of a friendship a business partnership, the restaurants, and the neighbourhood. It's also a collection of thoughts about what makes a good meal, why Fred loves trains and why they, along with Martin Picard of Pied de Joe Beef and Liverpool House are two of my favourite restaurants in Montreal so when I heard that Fred and David were putting out a cookbook I was excited.
