John Ash: Cooking One on One: Private Lessons in Simple, Contemporary Food from a Master Teacher
— For John Ash, author of the award-winning From
the Earth to the Table: John Ash's Wine Country Cuisine,
the lines that separate chef from teacher from cookbook
writer from consultant blur and fade into insignificance. In
the end, it's about ingredients and flavor and the meal at
hand. "After twenty-five years of teaching," Ash writes in
the forward to John Ash: Cooking One on One, "I know
that you don't have to perfect all the basic kitchen skills
in order to make great food." What John Ash likes to see
coming his way is a good eater, because there's a person who
as likely as not will want to taste and eat at home what he
or she has tried out on the town.
The trouble, of course, is time. Or you are single and
aren't cooking for more than yourself. It's all so daunting:
eating light, eating well, eating responsibly. And ordering
take-out is so easy. Cooking One on One, in chapters
constructed like lessons, dispels all that. Part One is
devoted to flavor-makers — salsas, vinaigrettes, pestos,
world marinades, and simple, savory sauces. Learn to make
the cucumber and mint salsa, Ash instructs, then use it to
maximum advantage with grilled lamb chops. No muss, no fuss.
That which begins at a simple level grows more complex as
you master technique and ingredient and apply layers of
flavor. Ash leads the way with flair and confidence. Part
Two covers basic cooking techniques — learning about soups,
learning about oven-drying ingredients like tomatoes or
cauliflower for maximum effect, learning about braising,
grilling, creating soufflés (they can be assembled and
frozen ahead of time!), learning about pasta in the West and
the East. Part Three covers lessons in main ingredients:
chicken, dried beans, mushrooms, salmon, shrimp, soy foods,
desserts. The straightforward recipes reflect the nature of
the lessons, the ingredients, the flavor profiles. This is a
California chef with deep respect for culinary roots,
whether they reach back to the Colorado barnyard or the
French farm.
John Ash teaches cooking here, not recipe recreation. He
creates good cooks out of good eaters..
