Rick Bayless

I have been wanting to eat Rick Bayless' food for the longest time... unfortunately for me his restaurants are in Chicago, IL... HOWEVER, I just found that he has some really wonderful (Vegetarian) recipes on his website http://www.rickbayless.com/recipes

I will definitely be cooking some of these recipes. I may not be Rick Bayless, or be at Frontera Grill, but now I can have a little bit of it in my own home. Can't wait!

Rick Bayless is a culinary legend who creates the most wonderful Authentic Mexican food I've ever seen, and dying to try! You may have seen him on Top Chef Masters on the Bravo channel, or on PBS with his show Mexico- One Plate at a Time.

Also, what I really love most about Rick (besides the fact that he seems to be the most friendly guy ever) is that he supports sustainable organic foods, and local farming. He has a non-profit organization called Frontera Farmer Foundation, which promotes small farms in the Chicago area by providing them with grants.

"Nonprofit organizations devoted to the growth of sustainable farming are becoming more prevalent and necessary due to the increasing dominance of large corporations in the agricultural sector. Without small sustainable farmers, great local cuisine is unreachable." -http://RickBayless.com/Foundation/about
