AGTV: Eggs Benedict Arnold
I agree, Craig stole the show - but Adam was as marvelous as ever too! This was highly entertaining and I can't wait to watch more!!

Hooray Adam!!! Mimosa-braised chicken Roberts looks like a triumph!!!! I second Molly Stevens' advice about reading lots of recipes and resources and choosing among your favorite elements of each - this works well for me and has made me much more confident about my cooking instincts. And although I have not read it myself, I've heard that Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking gives one a great basis of understanding from which to develop one's own recipes. Congrats again - I look forward to reading more AG Originals!
That was really great! The title caught my attention because when I was younger, I didn't like eggs at all and we had Eggs Benedict every Christmas morning. My dad would leave the egg off mine and call it, "Eggs Benedict Arnold".
Where is Lolita?!?!
Very funny, you guys. Glad to see you collaborating on fun stuff like this. I'd love to see even more focus on the cooking and the food in the future, but the humor and editing is spot-on. Kudos.
I'm not sure what made me do it (I think it was the photo). I've never braised or zested anything in my life. But I made it, and this is one seriously delicious meal.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I *love* the thought process you outlined! That's the mark of someone who knows what they're doing. It's the same process in music, sports, programming - the ability to improvise on the fly, make use of what you know and your experience, and the tools you have in front of you.
Congrats! My only suggestion was going to be Hansens' Soda, but it's got High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, which I avoid at all costs. Orangina sounds like a good call, but possibly also Izze Clementine, if available in your area.
Not that Mimosa Braise doesn't sound perfect all by itself! Just suggesting options to extend your oeuvre. :)
2 things:
1. Brilliant recipe name.
2. This totally reminds me of the orange kool-aid for orange zest swap in last week's (surprisingly underblogged) NYT story about home cooks adapting recipes. Maybe Orangina would be a slightly less offensive cooking soda (it's French, at least)? People cook hams in Coke and Dr. Pepper all the time, so somewhere there must be a savory orange-soda application.
Awesome. I'm a "Chef" in Wisconsin. I've been cooking in the industry for about 8 years (since i was 14) and I'm just now getting comfortable with making things without a recipe. My new job has provoked it out of me, and as scary as it can be at times, Its a great feeling to pull off something great.
So congrats. You have arrived.
Congrats on your first recipe. You'll get the hang of it soon. You already seem to know how flavors, ingredients and textures work together. Once you realize you have a firm grasp on this, you'll be inventing things left and right.
Someone's got to say it... "You've come a long way, baby!" ;}
Congrats on your first made-up recipe, Adam.. just don't let it go to your head (yet)! It really does look like a tasty twist on orange chicken.. I may have to give it a try sometime.
