“Iron Chef” Recap – Flay vs Thaimee
Another competitor took on Iron Chef Flay in Season 11 Episode 9. ย Read all about the battle between Chef Thaimee and Chef Flay in this recap from Shannon!
“Tonight’s Iron Chef battle had Chef Thaimee modern thai comfort food vs Iron Chef Flay’s southwestern style. The secret ingredient will be tamarind. Tonight’s 20 minute dish: Grilled oyster with a tamarind based bbq sauce-Chef Flay. Chef Thaimee Tamarind based sweet and sour soup with soft shell blue crab in a tamarind tempura. Culinary curveball was almonds Chef Flay went for Asian feel with out using Asian spices. Chef Thaimee presented beautiful Thai recipes served in traditional Thai plates and serving ware. The competition was fierce and at times difficult to call, but it was Iron Chef Flay that won this evening’s battle.”
I’m watching the episode right now and would love to try Chef Thaimee’s entire menu! How can I get her receipes from this show?
Hey – I know this is years late but on these contests I don’t think they give out recipes for what they make at all. I have always tried to pay close attention to what they are willing to show, then hunt various recipes and try and use the variations used in the contests until I get a dish according to what I personally enjoy and consider perfect. Of course, eating many Thai and other such dishes at high end restaurants helps you understand what effects your going for on the pallet – I can generally eat something and recreate it within three tries at home, its a matter of tasting a dish which tells me what all is in it, from there, you can use the variations you see in these contests. If you don’t know a technique its good to look up the recipe to see how its done.
