The Homemade Chef: extraordinary and healthy recipes
Last Tuesday I had the opportunity to meet and interview Chef James Tahhan. A Venezuelan-born Chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu, owner of Coral Gables Restaurant Sabores and co-host of Telemundo Emmy Award Winner Show Un Nuevo Dia. The occasion? The presentation of his first cookbook. Let me tell you that I’ve spent three days going through its pages to figure out which of the récipes I’ll prepare this weekend. At his TV Show set, I was able to taste his famous Guacamole with grilled pineapple, which was delicious, as well as his manchego cheese and Serrano ham croquettes.
