Coming in Fall of 2010!
Introducing, the world's
first Video Cookbook detailing a working restaurant's
entire
menu!
Have you ever wanted to see how everything goes together
in a real restaurant kitchen? In The
Black Sheep Bistro's Video Cookbook Vol 1,
you get to look over the shoulder
of professionals as they prepare
everything, the entire menu, from
start to finish
on actual nights of business! We will have this available
in 2 formats, on DVD and through an online yearly subscription!
(See below)
The release of The Black Sheep Bistro's Video
Cookbook Volume 1 on DVD is the beginning
of our "How to Cook Like a Pro" series. The best way
to learn is by watching somebody who knows what they
are doing. All the dishes
are
shot
on site in a real; poorly lit, hot
and fast working restaurant kitchen, where people are
paying for the
actual plate
that's being made. This mentoring
tool demonstrates every; appetizer, main course, dessert
and includes the sauces, bread, rice, potatoes, confit
of duck and more from Chef Richard ("Rick") Boufford's
French-Spanish-Catalon
inspired
menu. You can see the 2010
menu here, all the Desserts here,
and visit the restaurant's site here;
But that's just the beginning. In the works is Volume
2, where we will be going into more detail with all of
their nightly specials and all the different soups and
vegetables they serve. Soon we'll be adding
new and seasonal material
shot
in
the Chef's
home
using ingredients
found
in the same open air markets you can shop at. You'll
get to see first hand how a pro does it at home using
the same stoves and equipment many people
already have in their own kitchens. See the samples
we call "Entertainment
Videos".
And since Rick started cooking at age 7, we've
also started a special section called "The
Kids Corner" where
everything is "so easy a kid can do it" and
you'll see kids from five up
cooking and cookin' like you've never seen a five year
old cook! Point is, if they can do it, so can you!
We'll also
take you to different places to help you see quality,
value and unique ingredients
not generally known to the public. And on a more entertaining
level, because of our long standing in the restaurant
community, once in a while we'll sneak you into some
places not open to the public. Oh, one last thing,
we'll also have a "guest chef" section where
we'll be getting friends and associates
in the
industry to share their favorite dishes and procedures
with you.
You'll find free samples and tips in our "Starters" section. You
can begin right away by learning the most important aspect
of cooking, Seasoning! We'll
teach you how, here and now!

Richard "Rick" Boufford was a working Sommelier and
taught wine classes for years. He wrote numerous booklets
on wine,
wine
regions,
the
art
of tasting
and more. But the ability to make the complex art of tasting
wine simple, was what his students said they took away
most often.
His
newest book, "What To Look For In Wine" uses
many
"maps", graphs and full color photos to make
the art of wine tasting fun and simple. You can see a small
sample here. Or just go get
it at Amazon.com!
