Netflix - Chef's Table

I'm halfway through the first season of a terrific Netflix documentary series, Chef's Table. It spends an hour or so with a unique chefs (Dan Barber, Francis Mallmann, Massimo Botura, Niki Nakayama, etc.) and does a great job exploring their mindset and techniques. This along with "Mind of a Chef" are my two favorite chef exploration shows. Well worth an afternoon's binge watching.

Yes! I binged watched the entire season. Wonderful.

Just tripped over this series and am smitten... the production values are wonderful, the stories compelling, and the chefs are human and real. I only wish I could taste the fantastic dishes that are being so lovingly displayed each episode!

I am so late to this party it is ridiculous!

Hat Tip goes to BR. I went out of order and straight to the woman who made Julia Child cry on film with a taste memory ( or perhaps something less romantic like a burned upper roof of her mouth) so powerful there was nothing left to say but "this is a dessert to cry over. Thank you. I think it is the best dessert I ever ate. " Nancy Silverton's episode was glorious. I got to it before I got to Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar fame.

I am in the middle of Jeong Kwon's piece and I want to learn to cook from her while gathering Enlightenment in Korea. Lotus tea and white/water kimchi pulled from the onggi buried in the ground (hello portable root cellars), + vegetables harvested and imperfect in appearance b/c they also provided nourishment for feral pigs and insects as members of nature needing a source of food. The place looks breathtaking.
