For the past few years I have been picking a chef each month and immersing myself into their stories and recipes for a week. I grab some cookbooks from the library, check out their autobiography, search the internet. Sometimes I even treat myself to dinner at one of their restaurants.
This month I picked Charlie Trotter.
I grabbed his Kitchen Sessions cookbook and Charlie Trotter Cooks At Home and even Raw and planned out the menu for the week.
A warming soup made with beef, soba noodles and a dashi broth.
A roast pork stuffed with dried fruit over a bed of sweet raddichio and roasted potatoes. Oh and topped with this amazing bacon dressing.
Little tomatoes stuffed with a goat cheese, pine nut and sundried tomato mixture.
A poached (yes, I said poached) beef tenderloin with brussel sprouts and potatoes topped with a shallot vinegrette.
And to top it all off... cinnamon bread pudding. Delicious even if I burned it a little!
A tasty week with Charlie! Yum!
