You have now effectively reduced this desire to zero!
So I received a copy of the book and the apron as a holiday gift yesterday ... people know I do like to cook so this was positioned as a “gag gift”
[MENTION=5262]Weatherboy[/MENTION] is right — the recipes are all Polaris-inspired and many are in Hemispheres ... however, there IS a recipe for a Thai-style chicken dish, only the fancier original restaurant menu version ... on which our beloved onboard Thai-style chicken version is apparently based. Basically, you can recreate a higher quality version at home.
There are two short rib recipes, too ... of course!
Many of the recipes are quite complex - many steps and obscure spices, so it is actually a pretty advanced cookbook — not one for beginners or less-than-committed chefs.
