Publisher's summary
The Thoughtful Chef is a culmination of eclectic recipes from over the last 20 of her 44 years of Lisa’s professional cooking. It is also mostly gluten-free but can also be easily replaced with regular flour wherever it’s used.
As a child, Lisa always had an interest in cooking but never thought it would become her lifetime career. Her mother began involving her in the daily kitchen tasks at the age of 10, earning money by helping her prepare dinner, and by the time Lisa was 16 years old, she was shopping, meal planning, cooking, and all on a budget of 60 dollars a week for four people. Lisa’s professional career began when she took a job as a waitress when she was 20 years old at The Good Earth in Westwood, California. She loved the high energy of the restaurant business and was immediately drawn to the professional kitchen. The head cook, Kevin McKenzie, gave her a chance and Lisa never looked back. Lisa’s need to be creative and physical at what she wanted to do in life was a priority and this satisfied these needs more than she ever dreamed it would.
Lisa has cooked in some of the greatest restaurants in Los Angeles. As luck would have it, her first apprenticeship was at Ma Maison under Wolfgang Puck in 1979, the most infamous restaurant that catered mostly to the stars. This is where she fell in love with food. In 1980, Lisa went on to L’Orangerie, a very elegant and highly acclaimed restaurant, as her second apprenticeship. She then worked briefly under Ken Frank of La Toque in 1982, another highly acclaimed restaurant and well-known chef.
Lisa’s most notable job was when Kevin from The Good Earth tipped her off at an opening as a line cook at Spago, Sunset, while finishing her last shift at La Toque. She ran over there as La Toque was only a few miles from Spago and got the job. Spago was hugely popular, boasting one of the first open kitchens in the country. After two years, Lisa became Wolfgang’s head chef in 1986, her greatest accomplishment to date. “I loved the open kitchen because I could see the smiles on people’s faces as they ate,” Lisa says.
Then in 1993, Lisa had an opportunity to open a restaurant in Malibu called Bambu as executive chef and partner. Bambu and Lisa were an instant success from day one, which also featured a sushi bar along with Lisa’s eclectic, no-fuss, farm-to-table, healthy cuisine. While there, she won awards for being one of the top 100 chefs in America, bringing innovative ideas into the new millennium, in 1995, 1996, and 1997. After Bambu, Lisa was discovered by Paul Newman in 1998, recruiting her to consult for Newman’s Own, creating two sauces and writing two cookbooks for the company.
After this, Lisa started Lucky Girl Catering in 2001, which became The Malibu Chef in 2005 and is still going strong in 2022. She is also the creator and CEO of Butter Barn butter, a gluten free, non-GMO, grass-fed, organic cookie and brownie company, and sells her products online and at all Erewhon Markets in Los Angeles, as well as some healthier markets around the country.
“My passion for cooking and creating is a spiritual experience. It’s a meditation that runs deep into my soul. I want the very best of my energy going into the food I cook for my clients, family, and friends. Many have said they feel better after eating my food, which is the highest compliment anyone could ever give me. I hope this cookbook translates this feeling to you and your kitchen. I never wanted to look at my work as a job, and blessed as I am, I’ve never worked a day in my life.”

Many of us lead busy lives. From getting up in the morning, commuting to work and back again, and fitting in other tasks and chores, it doesn’t leave a lot of free time. When you add cooking into the mix, it eats into your free time even further, and this is often the first thing that suffers as we reach for the takeout menus.

Story
Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Story
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Story
Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing.

Sourdough bread fueled the labor that built the Egyptian pyramids. The Roman Empire distributed free sourdough loaves to its citizens to maintain political stability. More recently, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, sourdough bread baking became a global phenomenon as people contended with being confined to their homes and sought distractions from their fear, uncertainty, and grief. In Sourdough Culture, environmental science professor Eric Pallant shows how throughout history, sourdough bread baking has always been about survival.

A longtime contributor to Field and Stream, Bill Heavey knew more than a little about hunting and fishing when he embarked on an ambitious project a few years ago to see how far he could get eating wild. But Heavey knew next to nothing about gardening or foraging, and he lives in northern Virginia, close to Washington, D.C. The rural wilds, this was not. Is it any surprise that his tasty triumphs were equaled by his hilarious misadventures?
