Perfect Vinaigrettes: Appetizers to Desserts
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Tossed with salad greens, drizzled over poached fish, pooled around a nest of steamed vegetables, marinating a rib roast, or glossing a plateful of sliced potatoes, vinaigrette sauces-when properly created-jazz up the most elementary foods. At first glance a painless process-just a swirl of oil, vinegar, seasoning, and perhaps some mustard and herbs-the making of a good vinaigrette is in fact an elusive art, even for accomplished home cooks. Perfect Vinaigrettes finally unveils the mystery of making a fabulous dressing.
The book's 60 recipes range from the most fundamental and familiar-oil and vinegar, or lemon and cream-to more complex concoctions: Herbed Lemon-Caper Sauce for grilled veal; Orange Vinaigrette for barbecued pork; Olive, Herb and Tomato Vinaigrette for grilled sea bass; Earl-Grey Tea Vinaigrette for a watermelon-Roquefort salad; Raspberry-Orange Vinaigrette for an elegant wild rice salad. Nestled among them are tantalizing creations by renowned chefs, such as Ariane Daguin's Gascony Vinaigrette, to be served with a duck salad; Andr Soltner's tangy Lutece Vinaigrette, with a hint of onion and Tabasco; and three-star chef Pierre Gagnaire's Fruited Eggplant Vinaigrette for prawns or lobster tails.
From the Inside Flap
