New York Times best-selling author Tim Ferriss has previously written about making money more efficiently (in "The Four Hour Workweek"), working out and getting in shape effectively ("The Four Hour Body") and now he's tackling the mastery of food in his latest opus, "The Four Hour Chef." The books utilize Ferriss' technique of meta-learning, ideal for cutting out extraneous information and zeroing in on just the essential info for becoming an expert in anything quickly. (He's described the series as a trilogy, culminating in "Four Hour Chef.")

Now Ferriss stops by What's Trending to talk about the book and how he learns everything from dancing to cooking to languages in record time. He also talks about being BANNED from Barnes & Noble stores due to his deal with Amazon Publishing, and how he has responded. (SPOILER: Part of the answer includes a deal with BitTorrent!)

Tim's "4 Minute Ceviche" Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb: Small wild Gulf shrimp or wild Maine shrimp (peeled and deveined
1 c (240 mil): Freshly squeezed lime juice (8 limes or so)
2 large tomatillos (or Roma tomatoes)
2 large, ripe avocados
1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 basil leaves, torn into pieces
½ c (10 g) fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation:

- Place shrimp, tomatillos, pepper, salt and basil in a casserole dish or pan.
- Cover with lime juice.
- Let sit covered for an hour, stir, then let sit for several more hours (preferably overnight.)
- Serve with fresh chopped cilantro and slices of avocado.

In the video, Tim also recommends the following products:

- Rada Cutlery Knife or Cleaver
- Lint-free Huck Towel
- Aero Coffee Press

  • Vegansdon't Needviagra

    Loved the 4 hour body, but found the sections on nutrition to be FULL of faulty logic. Now he writes a book saying fruit will make you fat and Pork is some sort of health food? Sorry Tim, you blew this one. Search durianrider on youtube. Fruitarian (not that I could do that) with less than 10% bodyfat. So much for fruit making you fat!
