The 4 Hour Chef

By Timothy Ferris.

 

I always enjoy reading Ferris, though sometimes he's frustrating and sometimes he comes across as a bit of a huckster or self promoter. Then again, he sells books about himself, what else should I expect?

 

This is a cookbook for people who don't know how to cook. Pats of the book are how to learn. Parts of the book are on how to apply your learning skills to learn how to cook, and then there are the recipes.

 

Lots of products are mentioned in the book. I can't tell if it's all product placement, or if Ferris actually loves the products he uses. It could be both. He may be a huckster, but he loves what he's doing and is passionate about it. How should you make great coffee? Use the Aero Press! What knives shuld you buy? What equipment should a beginner buy?

 

There is a lot of detail in the book. Little tips and tricks are everywhere. It started off being interesting, but it become too cluttered after a while.

 

Fun read.
