ASPIRING CULINARIAN, FOOD STYLIST, JOURNALIST & CHEF IN TRAINING:
TYLER NEMKOV
"Food for Thought"
His interpretations or "messing around" with food, as he casually calls it, of IMV Nitrite Free Pancetta used in this recipe:
Creamy Risotto with Butternut Squash and IMV Veal Pancetta
Another menu idea although not having a recipe was:
Duck Lardo rendered and used as the clarified fat to make a hollandaise for Quail Eggs Benedict
Tyler Nemkov had previously pursued his love of food at Johnson & Wales University in Denver, Colorado majoring in Culinary Arts. He is a Colorado native from Littleton and is immensely passionate about the city (and state) in which he resides. Additionaly Tyler has worked for The Westword as an online writer.
"Food is my passion. My mom insisted on exposing our family to a wide variety of world cuisine and I have been a ‘fearless eater’ since then. I am not afraid to at least try anything, and usually will like what I try." T.N.
Having worked at a few different restaurants and aspiring to a life of culinary adventure, Ty is just not exactly sure how he is going to do it yet.
"It is in my observations and interactions with this mindful individual that he has a great start". M.M.D.
