In Search of the Lost Taste
By Joshua Ploeg
127 pp., 7x5.5, perfect bound
"Joshua Ploeg's cooking blows my mind so much that a secret door opens in the back of
my head and white doves, musical notes, and winged horses fly out. His
cooking is transcendent: Dangerous, strange and perfect. It's full of
colorful tastes that explode in your mouth like Pop Rocks flavor
combinations you never thought possible. Crazy alchemy. Freaky magic.
Joshua's
the Traveling Chef; you make an appointment, he shows up at your house
with a load of groceries, makes an incredible multi-course vegan meal
using your pots and pans, and then he's gone like the Lone Ranger
riding into a big Texas sunset.
Joshua's been in a bunch of
hardcore bands and he brings all the good things punk rock gave us:
risk, passion, creativity, and weirdness; then he applies them to his
meals. I randomly lucked into one of his dinners last year. I usually
eat really fast and mindlessly, but I had to take this one slow and let
all the flavors develop and do their respective stuff. Each had its own
distinctive note its own voice that rang out to let it be known that
it was something special and unique. It was an experience in the finest
sense of the word." -Adam Gnade
