We get it: you are what you eat; and what you eat projects on your well-being and health. A well-balanced diet (with a healthy dose of veggies) is key to a happy life. But sometimes, just sometimes, we feel like indulging ourselves. Dennis Prescott’s Instagram page is where we head to when the cravings get to us.
A Canadian chef and cookbook author, Prescott’s is a master when it comes to the art of deliciousness. “Deliciousness requires risk,” he remarked in an interview with Medium. “Taking risks guarantees failure while on the road to success.” A mix of high brow and lowbrow, his posts include flavour-packed lamb burgers and duck confit tacos, with mouthwatering photos that make that salad bowl you were planning for lunch look extra sad.
To enjoy Prescott’s recipes we recommend going to the source: his cookbook, titled aptly Eat Delicious. The book includes 125 recipes for your daily dose of awesome, featuring comfort food from around the globe that can be prepared by any home cook, no matter their skill level.
Indeed, Prescott’s journey to becoming a celebrated chef, might just inspire you to get cooking. A once struggling musician living in Nashville, TN, he learned how to cook by working his way through several Jamie Oliver cookbooks. Working alongside chefs in various restaurants, lead him to travel the world as a chef and ultimately become the master he is today.
“When I started, I naively thought all I’d have to focus on was food,” he says. “Wrong. Should you aspire to the best chef you can be? Absolutely! That said, I spend much more time working on account receivables and in meetings than I do in the kitchen.”
You can purchase his book online or follow some selected recipes on his personal website. But it’s his Instagram page where you should really put an emphasis on.
