Avec Eric - Merci
I recently came across Eric Ripert’s website - AvecEric.com. After skimming through the first few pages of posts, I clicked on the Video link and was taken to a virtual treasure trove of simple, delicious and easy to follow recipes.
When I say easy to follow - I mean EASY TO FREAKING FOLLOW. All the recipes in his videos are centered around a primary ingredient (salmon, chicken, snapper, raspberries) and are paired with a maximum of one or two more ingredients. After prepping, Chef Ripert cooks everything on his counter top toaster oven. Let me say that again: ALL OF THESE TASTY, HEALTHY AND WONDERFUL DISHES ARE COOKED IN A FREAKING TOASTER OVEN. From caramelized mango to goat cheese truffles, EVERYTHING is cooked in a cute, little toaster oven.
Some of my favorite videos from his site include the goat cheese truffle:
The raspberry clafouti:
And the super simple yet delicious broiled red snapper filet:
I think it’s safe to say that my toaster oven and I are going to get to know each other very intimately over the next several weeks.
