Description:
Food can be fun, but Liz Franklin recognizes the difficulty of conjuring up tempting and imaginative dishes day after day. In this book, she comes to our rescue with ingenious ideas for sauces, glazes, dips and seasonings--both savory and sweet--that surprise, inspire and tempt. Dips are food at its most convivial and undemanding. They can be as simple as sweet roasted squash with onion seed bagel crisps or as special as warm chocolate madeleines with Cointreau. When blessed with a Dollop of vibrant, harmonious flavors, the most basic foods can be made exquisite: stem-ginger yogurt and a drizzle of flowery honey on plump, sun-ripened figs or a spring onion and parsley pesto on pepper-crusted tuna. Less complicated than a sauce, but bursting with flavor, Drizzles can accompany any number of dishes beautifully, whether a pomegranate drizzle on caramelized duck breast and apricots or a citrus cake paired with candied lemon cream. Complete with menu suggestions and 60 mouthwatering recipes.
