Though many of us enjoy riding the range and greasing the griddle, professional chefs cooking up delicacies and specialties in their kitchens make it all look so easy. And, at bottom, it probably is — when you’ve trained and practiced for years. Chow!!, Metro Times’ food supplement, opens the new season with a cook’s tour of some of metro Detroit’s finest culinary establishments, talking with the chefs who’ve turned them into can’t-miss destinations on the dining map — and, most importantly, getting them to divulge some of their secrets
de cuisine. In this issue, five great Motor City chefs give out five mouthwatering recipes for lovely eating — thus making it possible for us mere mortals to try them at home. Or if you prefer, just call for reservations.
