Eat your vegetables, says innovative star chef Amanda Cohen — they're delicious - most expensive restaurant dishes in the world

Despite all the achievements and honors chef Amanda Cohen has accumulated over the past decade, she still tends to talk like a loser.
"No one likes vegetables.
People don't think they're sexy, "Cohen told a group of people who heard her talk and watched her cook at the 2019 Cayman Cooking Festival, which attracts them every winter --
List of top gourmets and their famous chefs in Grand Cayman.
Born in Ottawa and raised in Toronto, Cohen is a master cook in Cayman and works with star chefs including Eric riepel, emmeri Lagassé and Jose Andres.
Focus on the sugar in the restaurant.
Not only the dirty sugar, but now the smooth 50-
Lower East Side Manhattan seats, one of the busiest restaurants in New York City.
Thanks to Cohen's way of winning vegetables, it was even named "10 restaurants that change the way the American diet is now ". Cohen, a 44-year-
The old man who opened Earth sugar in 2008 saw her star surpass New York and published her 2012 recipe, Earth candy, recently in the Canadian Food Network series, Iron Chef: served as an Iron Chef in Canada.
Cohen said that she became a chef and hoped that cooking skills would support her love for travel, and that she went to Warsaw, Paris and the Grand Cayman Islands last year.
Mei returned to Toronto earlier to speak at the annual Terroir workshop and cook at the fundraising brunch, which would help to get a woman to a cooking school in Ghana. In mid-
She will cook in Victoria in July. C.
And in early August, in fines-
Dining: you can enjoy a satisfying meal at the well-received Cambridge Hotel and Spa restaurant.
"Every interview I do, every meeting I attend, every TV show I attend, is the way to make people aware of dirty candy," Cohen said . ". “My No.
Keeping open is our goal.
Running an exquisite restaurant is an ongoing struggle because I don't have a celebrity mentor or a Michelin star (Canadians don't like Michelin very much) and then I have to work harder.
When Cohen became a vegetarian about 30 years ago, one motivation was peer pressure.
She said she told her mother: "I want to do this because all my friends are cool and I want to be a popular person.
"It was really cool.
It is much more normal for people to become vegetarians now.
My mom was scared.
She's like, 'You are going to die.
That is to say, Cohen only formalized her preferences when eating.
"I don't like meat," she said . "
"I don't like seeing things on the bones.
I have this visceral reaction to bones and meat and I don't eat much.
"Before she became a chef, she became a New Yorker and moved there to college with a scholarship.
After she was determined to be a chef, she attended the natural food Institute in New York.
"This is the only school that allows me not to kill people," Cohen said . ".
She became a flexible about 15 years ago because she believed that vegetarians were holding back her career, so she allowed herself to taste more dishes.
"I just realized that I really didn't eat what the chef was concerned about," Cohen said . ".
"The chefs care about the protein on the plate.
They don't care about vegetables and vegetarians.
I realize that I will never be a chef unless I eat meat, or at least try to eat something that other chefs care about.
"Now, on the dirty candy dishes of vegetable stars --
But eggs or dairy products can also be included --
Can you tear it on the meat? based dishes.
Cohen, for example, serves delicious Korean cuisine.
Fried broccoli, delicious smoked beets, and even broccoli dogs.
"The broccoli dog was originally a failed experiment with broccoli for a barbecue.
When I realized that the smoked beets had a very luxurious, salty flavor, the smoked beets sandwiches came up and if you cut them thin, they were like smoked beef.
"We 've had some really good onion and chocolate desserts and I want to see what happens when I combine dense and dark flavors like mushrooms with dense and dark flavors of chocolate
This kitchen is my lab and I have been trying.
"We felt the vegetables were fantastic and no one did anything interesting about them," Cohen told her Cayman culinary audience . ".
"We're starting to feel like we're really pioneers and I'll go and see how you can make recipes for a vegetable egg souffle, a vegetable pie or a vegetable hot dog, there is nothing outside so we start to create our own language and our own ideas about how to deal with vegetables. ”The go-
The technique of roasting vegetables on the 350 th floor of Owen Cohen says this rarely happens on Earth candy.
"If you cook them very high and very fast, they get a crispy exterior and a very melted exterior --y interior.
If you cook them low and slow, you can get something very soft and luxurious, which is the same as what you do with meat.
These are meat technology.
"If you think of carrots, it's kind of like carrots," Cohen said. It’s uni-textured.
What we are trying to do with carrot risotto is get different texture in it, get different taste, we can take out the carrot like you do with a piece of meat, so your mouth is satisfied
Cohen opened the first Earth sugar, an 18-
October 2008 seat in East Manhattan Village
"This is the worst month in your recent history to open a restaurant," Cohen said . " The world is in trouble because of the recession.
She continued, sounding like another loser: "I don't know if anyone will want what I have to offer.
I know it's a bit abnormal.
I am a female chef who provides vegetables.
There is nothing to show success.
"We had a lot of battles in New York to get a lot of recognition," Cohen said . ".
"It's hard and tired when you always look at me and I make vegetables.
"But the Earth sugar has become so busy that it has even been named the busiest restaurant in New York City," Cohen said.
According to the New York Times, the restaurant even rejected Leonardo DiCaprio, who was supposed to book.
In his 2012 Earth candy review, Times critic Pete Wells praised Cohen's food as "original, intelligent, visually eye-catching vegetable cooking, the most important thing to eat is fun.
Cohen said that Earth sugar's focus on vegetables is the key, not for lifestyle reasons, not to save the earth, nor to advocate animal rights, but because vegetables can be a delicious star on the plate.
"My career is food," she said . "
"The restaurant has always been a vegetable and food restaurant, which is more important than any kind of atmosphere.
"We happen to be morally in the lead and it's just a reward," her children said . ".
Cohen said that although she hated cooking competitions, she appeared on Iron Man: Canada.
"I think they are very inclined to cook meat chefs, so I always want to be killed on their roads," Cohen said . ".
"Also, I'm very, very competitive, so it's impossible to lose if I'm going to do one.
I'm not saying it needs to be manipulated.
I mean, I need to have enough time to rehearse my team and do enough practice so that I know that our chances of winning will be higher than average.
"The reason I said" yes "to" Iron Man: Canada "is because of the last sentence in the title: Canada.
It's still my home and it's very important for me to be Canadian.
If I sweat and train my team 23 hours a day, I will do it for Canada.
Cohen spoke highly of Canadian cuisine, and as the chef brought culinary progress from abroad, she "did advance by leaps and bounds in the last few years", the country's multicultural and amazing local ingredients.
Cohen says she wants to open a restaurant in Canada.
"I think there is always an idea in my mind that I want to open a shop in Toronto where my family is located.
Time never seems right.
But when I think the Earth sugar in New York will precipitate more and run it on its own, it's really possible for me to do that.
