Tim Ferriss

The 4-Hour chef

  • To learn

    • smell food before eating
    • deconstruct tastes to understand the part. associate herbs/spices with an anchor dish if needed
    • Try odd combinations and think about why they work (combos of flavor profiles) - e.g., cinnamon on bacon, cayenne on mango
    • foodpairing.be to find pairings and replacements

  • Things that always work

    • just steam veggies for 15 min and add lemon
    • Fish: fennel or dill
    • Beef, pork or lamb - rosemary
    • lamb: mint
    • Eggs: tarragon
    • tomatoes: basil

  • Suggestions
