NOTES : From Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten of Jo Jo, Vong, and the
Lipstick Cafe. As chef at New York's posh Lafayette restaurant, he
pioneered a style of cooking that sparked a culinary revolution in this
country: He replaced heavy sauces and stocks with vegetable juices, infused
oils, and vinaigrettes. Under his command, the Lafayette received four
stars from the New York Times. Today Vongerichten is chef and co-owner of
three of New York's most sophisticated "in" restaurants. Known for his
versatility and artistry, Vongerichten is a wizard at combining flavors
from the East and West. He describes his cuisine as "essentially New York."
Chef's note: "This is a wonderful dish for a summer party. Let the guests
help themselves from large serving bowls of shrimp and spiced rice. Or or a
fancier sit-down affair, serve individual timbales of rice surrounded by
shrimp and broth in decorative flat soup plates."
