Although we at Food52 love to celebrate the avid home cook, a quick scroll through any collection of our most popular recipes<\/a> proves the following: Our community really, really loves recipes developed by world-class chefs. So we took the notes and created Yes, Chef<\/a>\u2014a new video series where talented, working chefs share their favorite techniques, ingredients, and dishes directly with you.<\/p>\n In the series\u2019 first episode, we\u2019re joined by Jeff Kim, the chef and co-owner of Nudibranch\u2014an East Village hotspot that weaves together Korean and Spanish flavors. The restaurant reflects Jeff\u2019s culinary journey: Prior to opening his own spot, the young chef cut his teeth at New York City hotspots like Momofuku Ss\u00e4m Bar and Eleven Madison Park as well as at Spain\u2019s three-Michelin-starred El Celler de Can Roca.<\/p>\n For his episode, Jeff prepares Soba Alla Battarga<\/a>\u2014a dish he created when the city\u2019s Covid lockdowns pushed him away from restaurants and back into his family kitchen. \u201cMy mom loves soba. That\u2019s one of the things we both crave all the time,\u201d he says in the episode.<\/p>\n
