Default Rick Bayless, kiss my ass!

I bought his volume 1 dvd video, the first four episodes of Mexico,
One Plate At a Time. Not only were the ingredients not included, the
cooking scenes were totally butchered, cut out completely in some
cases. Here we have fully intact segments of Rick the Dick droning on
and on at length about Aztec architecture and temples and Catholic
churches and the invention of stucco and the chemical break down of
masonary lime yada yada...., but when it comes right down to showing
how to cook/soak the nixtamal, a great Mexican secret claimed to be
revealed on this dvd, we cut to his home kitchen where he recommends
canned hominy.

I've seen the mole episode twice on tv and wanted my own complete
version. No chance. Where he once went on in detail about how to
seed and fry the dried chiles making sure not to burn them and cause
bitterness, and how to fry the whole almonds and raisins to just the
right plumpness, now all three get a 3 sequence shot lasting a total
of about 5 seconds with no information at all. "Fry the chiles,
almonds, and raisins". Next!.... But, he doesn't mind babbling on
about his daughter's birthday party and a buncha other pointless crap.
His dvd videos are a complete rip-off for which you need his book more
than ever. Friggin' crook.

I'd like to boot a big ol' tire treaded size 12 huarache right up his
money grubbin' Mexican lovin' ass!

nb .....grrrrr...

But why not tell us how you really feel? ;-)

(Actually, I'd copy this post and send it to the appropriate address,
along with the DVD and ask for my money back.)

Oh, you can bet Fontera Kitchens is going to get an even more harshly
worded letter. But, I'll keep the dvd. It has just enough more
goodies ...tres leche cake, 3 kinds of cerviche, etc, to keep, but I'm
still going to hafta go down to the book store or library and copy
recipes and a few details from his book. I'll be damned if he gets
another cent out of me.

LOl! You got me with that last bit, nb. sorry about your
disappointment, to be sure, and yet you've had your revenge with this
post. Did you see the Oaxacan black mole recipe from his One Plate at
a Time cookbook I posted recently? Google "modom mole" if not and if
you're interested. I think I got it mostly right, but I did
paraphrase.

LOL!!! Calm down, dearie. Are you going to write to him to complain?
Doesn't seem like you got your money's worth out of it.

I searched google rfc for every possible recipe you posted re his Oaxacan
black mole, but couldn't find it; I found only the mention that you had
posted it. Do you have it in your 'sent' file that you might post again or
send to me.
I am wondering what makes his Oxacan Yellow Mole different than his Oxacan
black mole.
Thanks,
Dee Dee

That's the Bayless "transcription." Or it should be.

again.

> tres leche cake

Does anybody actually *like* this stuff? Like if you make a Dos Leches
cake somebody would say, "Well, it's tasty -- but it really needs more
milk"?

Not sure. Never had anything other than a uno leche cake.

Consider yourself lucky. The "tres leches" in the cake are, I believe,
regular milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. The thing is
*literally* dripping with milk, with even the tiniest nibble bursting
with more milk than even a newborn liion could stand. Are there
milkoholics around who like this kind of thing? Given the choice I'd
sooner eat a Tres Kaopectates cake, thanks.

If you're a hairy, sweaty man, I'm sure he'd be only too happy to
comply...
