INTRODUCTION

Cooking on the griddle is easier than it seems. During my travels, I discovered the extraordinary variety of flavors that a griddle can bring out in food from all over the world. It’s my goal to share what I’ve learned from these journeys so you, too, can explore a simple, healthy, and rich way of cooking.

LOÏC HANNO

Loïc Hanno grew up in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. On Wednesday afternoons, he visited the Strasbourg-Saint-Denis district to taste authentic shawarmas and falafels. He also visited Belleville, where he feasted on pho soup and any other Asian specialties he uncovered. Suffice it to say, he tasted global flavors without crossing a single border! As an adult, he traveled extensively and frequented restaurant kitchens around the world, and then returned home full of memories with a thousand flavors.

THE BASICS

In addition to selecting choice ingredients, it’s very important to apply precise cooking methods when using the griddle to avoid tough meat, dry fish, or soggy vegetables.

Using an electric or cast-iron griddle is simple, with just a few essential techniques and a convenient cooking method. Make sure your knives are sharp so you can precisely chop, cut, and slice your ingredients and minimize the risk of injury. Remember: always degrease the griddle after use, and—above all—share your griddle cooking with friends!
