Mario Batali is another of my favorite chefs. The importance he puts on the elements of culture in relation to the dish that he’s preparing cannot be denied. One cannot truly understand food from a particular culture if one does not take the time to understand the customs, history and even language of the people involved.
This video makes mention of the idea that sauce should never get in the way of the natural flavor and texture of the main star of the show — the pasta.
I love scrambled eggs, but must admit that I tend to favor more of a “dry” type w/minced onions&peppers that tend to be cooked more than what Ramsay displays, but I can see that the suggested additions of butter and crème fraîche create a richer, smoother egg creation and I will give it a try for sure.
The star of Hell’s Kitchen (both the instructional British and U.S. versions) says he has each fresh-faced chef in his kitchens make scrambled eggs as a test to consider how they may prepare other dishes.
Does anyone have a problem with Ramsay’s technique or ingreds? Drop a comment.
