Carol Did It!
One of my favourite food blogs is coming to an end. It’s a strange feeling to know that a food blog can come to an end.
Carol Blymire finally managed to cook every single recipe on French Laundry cookbook. Entertaining and inspiring, I plan to reread the whole thing from the start in my free time.
Fear not though, she’s back with a new project: Alinea at home. The chef behind Alinea, Grant Achatz, was featured in the news a while back when he suffered from stage-four tongue cancer (which is now in remission) at the height of his career. During his treatment, he had to manage his cooking and food creation creatively and unconventionally. I have yet to check out the book but I’m watching with interest: molecular gastronomy at home? Now that’s not something you see everyday.
Check out French Laundry at home here.
I could never have this much drive and focus to cook through an entire cookbook, recipe by recipe… I guess you might call that devotion…
V: Me too! I admire her perseverence.

I’ve been visiting French Laundry at Home several times, but other than being amazed at her determination in cooking extraordinary food, I did not really realize that her writing was so entertaining & hilarious. Today I read Alinea at Home and I could not stop myself from giggling… She is so funny.
V: Hi Irene. Yes… her writing is a delight to read!
