This is a short video from a David Letterman show with Martha Stewart trying her best to teach Dave how to make a puzzle sandwich for his child. In 1.5 minutes time he cracks a good joke, cuts his finger, and has his cut finger licked by Martha. Cooking at it’s best.

Famous Chef Biographies

Out of curiosity I did a search on Biography.com for ‘famous chef’ and I was quite surprised that the search resulted in 961 listings. This link Famous Chefs will generate the same search for you and you won’t be surprised to see Julia Child heading up the list in the number one spot. She was one of a kind.

PBS put together a nice memoriam here: Julia Child Memoriam.

“Julia Child’s legacy to America is felt nowhere more strongly than at PBS,” said Pat Mitchell, President and CEO of PBS. “When it all began on WGBH, Boston’s public television station, in 1962, no one had ever done a cooking show on television. But Julia set a standard for far more than a genre that has grown exponentially ever since. She made sophisticated cooking techniques accessible while promoting the art of cooking to men and women alike. She was a funny, witty and debonair character who charmed all who knew her – even if just by her television appearances. We’re honored to have had her as part of the PBS family and we will cherish her memory.”

The video below is of an interview she gave in which she discusses her life. It’s less than 5 minutes and well worth watching this culinary pioneer.

Robert Rodriguez teaches us how to cook Puerco Pibil (aka Slow Cooked Pork). Video is
less then 6 minutes and interesting to watch even if you don’t care (or need) to learn how to cook Puerco Pibil.

I’m making this tomorrow and I can’t wait!

What’s the point of worrying about a diet with Thanksgiving less then a week away? : )
