I spend a lot of time going through cookbooks. Whether it’s at school, book stores, or just taking a chance on a book that I never looked at in person and buying it because it was a screaming deal on ebay I’m always on the lookout for a great cookbook that will help me on my journey. Found one!
Francisco Migoya is a chef instructor at the Culinary Insititute of America and has written another book called Frozen Desserts. While I liked the other book this was the one I wanted to purchase first. Why? Because if I wanted to open up a “modern cafe” I could pretty much use this as a crutch/resource for my ideas and experiments. He combines modern cuisine with age old techniques and recipes in order to deliver one of my favorite cookbooks ever.
Remember that time I fried parsley? (click) This is the book I got it from. There are so many other great recipes in this book and I’ve barely touched any of the baking or pastry stuff which makes up the majority of the book. You like baking and pastry? This is a must own book.
