VM: Tell us a bit about Osmo—what propelled the idea to start a salt company? How exactly does the product differentiate itself as Michelin-star quality in comparison to more generic salts?

Tuna Melt- The tuna was runny from too much mayo and pink from so much paprika. Also it called for sharp cheddar but the cheese in the picture was white. The finished product was super bland. VMAN: Starting from the beginning a bit, could you tell us where your chef origins began? Was cooking always a passion of yours growing up? On that note of speaking to his audience, this might also be the perfect cookbook for the social media age because not only is the author apparently a social media cooking star of some sort, but he’s also included QR codes throughout the book leading the reader to videos demonstrating how to prepare some (not all) of the recipes. Tip:You should always bake your bacon. It makes for a far better final product. No more stovetop bacon please, unless absolutely necessary.NDG: My dad’s mother — we called her ‘Helga’ — was unstoppable in the kitchen. I remember one of the first dishes she’d made that I ended up replicating at home was a very simple salad. Romaine lettuce, a simple homemade vinaigrette, some shaved parmigiano reggiano, sliced bell peppers, and toasted pine nuts. The simple technique of tasting the pine nuts is what made this dish a true star. I also got into baking at a pretty early age and remember being quite proud of myself when I made my first lemon meringue pie.

NDG: I love it, but at the same time, I don’t think much about it. I’m doing videos that I think will be fun, and documenting experiences that I feel the world may want to see. Sometimes, those consuming the content aren’t as excited as I am, and others, blow my expectations away, but ultimately I’m just doing what I love and hopefully, it can excite others. For the sandwich: Place the tomato slices in a single layer on a work surface and season with salt and pepper to taste.Spangler, Todd (October 20, 2021).

Admittedly, some of the recipes live up to that promise a bit better than others. To be sure, there are several recipes in here that look just as impressive as anything you might find in a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with relatively simple ingredients and techniques accessible to home chefs. But there are also a couple that don’t quite hit that “impressive” mark or which might be a bit more intimidating to the home cook. NDG: Creative and original recipes — many of which are classic twists on dishes we all know and love, and others completely new and inventive. I am so excited for people to get cooking! NDG: While raking up all of your well-deserved accolades, you also managed to garner a few million followers—especially on TikTok where viewers can regularly see you putting your own spin on classic dishes with the help of a few celeb friends, to attempting to set Guinness world records, and even sending a pizza to space. How exciting has it been to see your audience grow? How do you usually get inspired to come up with these more elaborate videos? During his senior year of college, DiGiovanni attended a casting call for season 10 of MasterChef. [9] He was selected to compete on the show and finished in third place. [9] To film the show, DiGiovanni reportedly left in the middle of the term at Harvard without informing his professors. He returned the next season as a mentor for finalists.

DiGiovanni moves on to recipes, and this is the most substantial portion of the book. He organizes the book by the type of meal. Breakfast opens with pancakes. He tells you how to make the most of your ingredients. DiGiovanni even has a technique for making a different type of salt. The book has QR codes you can scan to see videos related to the recipe. Carbona(ra)men- Dude asks you to cook 8 pieces of bacon, remove the bacon and leave ALL the hot fat, and dump 2 cups of water into it. I explained the chemistry behind this to my son before doing it for the review and, as predicted, hot grease exploded all over my kitchen. This book is written for young inexperienced cooks. Will someone be burned? I think so. The food itself was a chore to eat. Way too much bacon. One note flavor. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the sugar has started to caramelize. Flip the bacon, brush with the remaining maple syrup, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes more, depending on your desired crispness. Flanagan, Chris (June 2, 2021).

Can you recall a few early favorite dishes you used to make?

DiGiovanni has been featured in several publications, including Today, [21] Good Morning America, [22] and Harper's Bazaar. [23] In 2021, DiGiovanni was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Food and Drink. [24] The same year, DiGiovanni won YouTube's Streamy Award for Food, an award recognizing the world's top food creator of the year. [25] He was a Webby Award recipient in 2022. [26] As for the recipes themselves, I’m quite pleased to report that the vast majority of them look like something I’d actually like to cook and/or eat. Obviously everyone’s tastes are different so no cookbook ever manages to be 100% for anyone (except perhaps its own author), but this one is closer aligned to my tastes than most. And I particularly like a book that combines some sophisticated classy recipes with some that are more comfort food. And I have to admit, what really caught my eye is that this book even includes a recipe to make your own home-made dino nuggies. I’m pretty sure that means this is an author who knows what his audience wants.
