I reviewed an advanced/reviewers copy of this title.
This cookbook is a gentle mix of technique recipes (Risotto of Almost Anything, Creamy Any Vegetable Soup, Warm any Fruit Crumble, and Quick Pickled Vegetables are among some of the standouts) to standouts that would be served in the best restaurants (Braised Veal Brisket, Crown Roast of Pork with Dirty Rice Dressing, and Roast Goose).
The chapter titles are like a family tree that moves from branch to branch, Sunday Supper, Dinner from a Cast Iron Pot, School Nights, Breakfast with my Boys, How to cook a Fish, Fried Chicken & other Classics, Barbecue Wisdom, Jazz Brunch, Goose for the Holidays, and Drew Makes a Cake. Each section contains a blend of recipes that will appeal to the beginning cook as well as the culinary school graduate.
Some standouts that match my style are:
- Potato Latkes
- The Pickled Shrimp has my interest.
- Roast Beet Salad
- Pork & Sausage Jambalaya
- Sloppy Joe Sliders made with the Braised Beef Short Ribs recipes
Angel Biscuits are my new go to Biscuits for my world famous biscuits and gravy.
I have spent countless hours researching how to achieve the best french fries, and the technique in the recipe for Perfect French Fries is only technique that should be utilized: blanch, and then double fry.
