Six years ago when I decided to really learn how to cook, I started with Jacques Pépin's Fast Food My Way. Perhaps I was drawn to the photos in the book. But looking back, I think it was more because I was living in Singapore on a budget, thus when it comes to buying cookbooks, I had to be sure that all the stated ingredients were indeed available in that part of the world. Also, that I wouldn't have to pay too much premium for them. (Try buying sweet cherries in Singapore!).
Put simply, I wanted to milk whichever book I bought for all it's worth.
One of my all-time favourites from Monsieur Pépin is his mock tiramisu. I love tiramisu. But I hate the fat, calories, cholesterol and eventual weight gain that comes with it. So imagine the excitement upon seeing an egg-free version of it, fully endorsed by this great man. Make this once, twice and by the third time (within the same month), you'll just tell yourself "one, one, quarter" and be spontaneous thereafter.
