Momofuku
Aflevering 12: Stoombroodje Buikspek | From David Chang, currently the hottest chef in the culinary world, comes this his first book, written with New York Times food critic Peter Meehan, packed full of ingeniously creative recipes. Already a sensational world star, Chang produces a buzzing fusion of Korean/Asian and Western cuisine, creating a style of food which defies easy categorisation. That it is fantastic, there is no doubt, and that it is eminently cookable, there is also no doubt! In the words of Chang himself, it is ‘Bad pseudo-fusion cuisine’. The vibrant, urban feel of the book is teamed perfectly with clear and insightful writing that is both witty and accessible. Backed by undeniably informed technique and a clearly passionate advocation of cutting-edge fusion cooking, Chang’s Momofuku is a stunning, no-holds barred, debut. The epitome of no-holds barred fusion food, beloved by most foodies on the planet, lauded by the likes of Anthony Bourdain and Martha Stewart…the inimitable David Chang will be over in the UK to promote the book on publication.

I love Curry
Aflevering 10: Kip Tikki Masala | In India, a curry is any dish whose sauce is flavoured with a harmonious blend of spices. In this deliciously spicy book, Anjum Anand, recently voted Personality of the Year at the British Curry Awards, presents an eclectic choice of her favourite curries. These include regional dishes, favourite restaurant classics and many original creations – in all, 50 great curries and 25 accompanying dishes. As with all Anjum’s recipes, they are written to suit a lighter, healthier way of eating; but every dish bursts with the flavours of India. Some are hot, some are mild, although all can be adjusted to taste. Some are simple one-pot curries while others recreate the multilayered flavours of restaurant classics. Divided into chapters on Fish and Seafood, Poultry and Game, Meat and Vegetable curries, there is a final chapter featuring the usual accompaniments: vegetable side dishes, breads, rice, chutneys and raitas. This will be the essential book for all lovers of Indian food, whether they are confident cooks or novice enthusiasts. Koop dit boek >>
The Gaijin Cookbook
Aflevering 10: Kip Tikki Malasa | Fortunately, being a lifelong outsider has made Orkin a more curious, open, and studious chef. In The Gaijin Cookbook, he condenses his experiences into approachable recipes for every occasion, including weeknights with picky kids, boozy weekends, and celebrations. Everyday dishes like Pork and Miso-Ginger Stew, Stir-Fried Udon, and Japanese Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce are what keep the Orkin family connected to Japan. For more festive dinners, he suggests a Temaki Party, where guests assemble their own sushi from cooked and fresh fillings. And recipes for Bagels with Shiso Gravlax and Tofu Coney Island (fried tofu with mushroom chili) reveal the eclectic spirit of Ivan’s cooking.
Nederland Kookboek
Aflevering 9: Rotterdam | Wist je dat je bordje avondeten misschien wel 30.000 kilometer heeft afgelegd? En andersom: wist je dat vaak meer dan 80 procent van onze groente, fruit, vis, vlees en kaas naar het buitenland gaat? Nee, Laura de Grave wist dat ook niet toen zij haar research begon voor het Nederland Kookboek, als opvolger van haar succesvolle Amsterdam Kookboek. Tijdens haar reis op een elektrische motor naar alle provincies kreeg zij gaandeweg een missie: laten we meer lokaal eten, niet alleen omdat het duurzamer en natuurlijker is, maar vooral omdat het zo lekker is. Laura’s mond viel vaak wagenwijd open van de verrassende producten die in Nederland te vinden zijn. En van de smaakvolle gerechten die lokale chefs ermee maken, zowel traditionele als vernieuwende. Onze Nederlandse keuken blijkt veel gevarieerder en dynamischer dan we denken.

Ramen
Aflevering 1: Ramen | Ramen, de lichtvoetige Japanse maaltijdsoepen met noedels, zijn immens populair: de ramenbars schieten als paddenstoelen uit de grond. Logisch: de licht verteerbare en vele variaties in ramen zijn overheerlijk en gezond. Maak zelf ramen en begin bij de basis: leer de diverse bouillons maken zoals dashibouillon. Kies voor de typische smaakmakers, bijvoorbeeld sichuan-chilipasta of bonitozout en gebruik de mooiste ingrediënten voor de toppings. Maak ramen met vlees of vis, en kies eens voor een vegetarische variant.
Varieer eindeloos en maak pittige miso ramen, kimchi ramen, ramen met wontons of ramen met tofu en paddenstoelen. Maak zelf de diverse noedels als udon- en sobanoedels. Met als toegift populaire kleine Japanse gerechten als gyoza en tempura.
Japanese soul cooking
Aflevering 1: Ramen | A collection of more than 100 recipes that introduces Japanese comfort food to American home cooks, exploring new ingredients, techniques, and the surprising origins of popular dishes like gyoza and tempura. Japanese food is often thought of as precise, austere, and time-consuming. But along with the high (kaiseki and tea ceremony) there is also the low (food carts and fried chicken). Through recipes, fascinating narrative, and lush location photography, Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat explore Japan’s long history of homey fare, which has now firmly taken root in the US. Some of the dishes are already loved here, like ramen, soba, tempura, and gyoza, but others, like Japanese-style fried chicken, rice bowls and okonomiyaki, and savory pancakes, will be deliciously delightful surprises, perfect for a weeknight meal or weekend entertaining.
