Even Top Chefs Make Mistakes

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 23, 2015

Longtime editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine Dana Cowin and all-star chefs Alex Guarnaschelli and Dan Barber confess to kitchen mistakes, and offer suggestions for new cooks. Cowin takes on 100 recipes dear to her heart in Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen: Learning to Cook with 65 Great Chefs and Over 100 Delicious Recipes, revealing that she once kept a dark secret: from meat to veggies, broiling to baking, breakfast to dinner, she ruined literally every kind of dish she attempted. Now, in this cookbook confessional, she comes clean about her many meal mishaps with the help of her chef friends.
