Gregory Gourdet & JJ Goode
I like this cookbook, BUT he uses toooo many ingredients I’m not gonna run out and buy or attempt to make. Am I lazy? No, just not motivated. I know my limitations.
He writes about eating a lot of junky stuff, etc. and decides to start eating right. His recipes truly reflect that, but like I said…I just don’t have the ingredients in my pantry.
Just looked the book up on Amazon. People love it. I wish I did…
Here are a few of Amazon Editorial Reviews:

I just went to his website and his meatloaf (game changer) reads very tasty, although there is an ingredient I never heard of and has a page number. Epis on page 296. WHAT is EPIS?? I had to “google” it. Here’s what came up:
Epis is a blend of peppers, garlic, and herbs that is used as a flavor base for many foods in Haitian cuisine. Some refer to it as a pesto sauce. It is also known as epise and zepis. It is essential for Haitian cuisine. Wikipedia
Main ingredients: Bell peppers, garlic, citrus juice, parsley, and other herbs and spices
It all makes sense. I don’t know jack about this cuisine. I would rather go to a restaurant. (Does he have one?) than cook it. 🙂 Hell YES he has a restaurant.
