Customer Reviews

A tribute to the piquant palate

A friend recommended this book when we were looking for texts for our food-centered website, Gorged and I fell in love with the combinations of flavors and textures. Smoky mushroom concoctions and tart adaptations of traditional relishes remind us that food is about exploration and the courage to venture, not rely upon safe standards and measurements. While the recipes are clear and easy to follow, the spirit of experimentation is nonetheless prevalent throughout. The resources for hard to find ingredients also makes this book a winner. My only regret is that it's so brief!
