Four Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss: Not your grannies cook book

James Burnette 3 Comments

I’ve been following Tim’s work for a few years now and was very excited for his new book Four Hour Chef. Tim has an amazing ability to learn new skills and simplify them for others. Although I do love cooking what excited me most about his new book was the break down of his learning methods. Before he shows you how to make some amazing food he shows you how to quickly learn any skill. Combine meta learning, cooking, a huge section on survival and hilarious life stories and you have me. Let me share some thoughts with you my thoughts on why you should grab this book.

I’ve been a cooking enthusiast for over ten years at this point. I love cooking and can hardly remember my first bachelor pad filled with cereal. Yuck! After getting and beginning to read Tim Ferris’ new book the Four Hour Chef I’ve been more excited than usual. I dawned on me that being able to cook delicious food and do it effortlessly and quickly, are not a common thing. Most people suck at cooking. They try a few things and when they turn out bad get put off of cooking. While this post will not be lead you to becoming a four hour chef you will learn some of the insights that make my food great.

What about bread?! I get this question a lot. People can’t seem to fathom that I don’t eat bread or any bread like creation. I try to stick to simple meal from simple ingredients with a focus on whole foods. So the elaborate ordeal of baking does not really appeal to me. I am not big on measuring and following recipes. I prefer to make things up as I go. My only real guilty pleasure being the Paleo biscuits and gravy From the Paleo Comfort Foods Book. I’m  southern and need my occasional (once every few months) biscuits and gravy. That being said my buddy Mike from Skills and Gear asked me if I knew about the new Paleo Bread from Julian bakery and if I knew how to make some paleo friendly bread. Today I’m going to show you how to make paleo bread at home.

How To Make the Best Scrambled Eggs You’ll Ever Eat!

James Burnette 2 Comments

A while back a friend of mine posted a video on Facebook of chef Gordon Ramsey making scrambled eggs. I thought I had cooked eggs pretty much any way you could imagine. This way blew me away. I simplified it and made it fit my paleo model much closer. You could probably

go 100% Paleo and use coconut oil but I don’t think it would be nearly as good. Let me show you how I’ve modified it and how to make the best scrambled eggs you’ll ever eat!
