Heās such a silly dude. All his cookbooks are more of a guiding light than they are rigid rules. He teaches you how to make some great plates, but by no means does it feel like heās forcing you to do it exactly his way. Iāve always enjoyed his cooking videos for that reason; itās never āBoil this for 20 minutesā itās āBoil this until it feels good.ā Theyāre def more American classic style cooking but I think thereās a plethora of wisdom in his recipes.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
