Mario Batali! When I think of him I always see his bright orange Crocs. He even wore them when they did the Iron Chef at the White House (which I never got to finish watching - anyone know who won??). He just amazes me in the Iron Chef challenges. Who wouldn't want to be able to cook like that? Makes me want to get in the kitchen and whip up a 5 course meal with quail eggs, a box of mac and cheese, and a jar of pimentos.
"Always eager to educate the masses about Italian cuisine, Mario hosts two Food Network programs, Molto Mario and Ciao America. He also engages in fierce culinary battles in the Food Network series Iron Chef America. Mario splits his time between New York City's Greenwich Village and Northport, Mich., with his wife Susi Cahn of Coach Dairy Goat Farm, and their two sons, Benno and Leo." Don't you just love to know fun facts about the chef you are cooking with? Picture I found on his web site :)
We will post Mario's recipes on Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Can't wait to see what you are cooking!HERE is the list of upcoming chefs if you want to plan ahead.
Looking forward to this one....made this recipe in December before I left Italy.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI watched that special Iron Chef and it so happened that Comerford and Bobbly Flay won against Emeril and Mario. That was sure an exciting episode!

It was a great battle! But I wonder if it wasn't rigged for the White House Chef to win...I'm just saying :)
