      Intro

      When people ask chefs where their passion for cooking comes from, the typical response is always to declare the love that they’ve had for pots and pans since childhood, or to talk about their cherished grandma’s recipes that they’ve had since they were fifteen years old.

      Personally, at that age I was more likely to be watching the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, or spending hours on my gaming console.

      I am often asked what kind of chef I am … and I always answer that I see myself as a kind of food gamer.

      And that has never been truer than it is today with the release of The Geek’s Cookbook.

      I hope you will enjoy lots of great times with your friends thanks to the recipes inspired by pop culture in this book.

      The aim of this small culinary journey is to show that cooking can be geeky, and geeky can be chic, delicious, and easy, even for noobs.

      —Liguori Lecomte

      Who am I?

      Liguori Lecomte is a hip, young twenty-eight-year-old chef and a true food gamer interested in all types of cuisine. Brought up on pop culture, he brings a touch of geek to his recipes. He has been running his fun and offbeat cooking workshops since the end of 2013. These days, you can of course find him on the internet, where he continues to share his chef’s secrets.
