A personal invitation into the kitchen of one of Canada's most popular
cookbook authors.
For Bonnie Stern, good food is an essential element in turning a house
into a home. With this lavish new cookbook, Bonnie invites us into her
kitchen as she prepares food for the people she loves.
Bonnie Stern's Essentials of Home Cooking is filled with Bonnie's
personal favourites -- dishes that reflect the way we are cooking now.
You'll find wonderful new recipes such as Caramelized Onion Tart with
Gorgonzola, Lemon Meringue Pavlova Roll and Thai Shrimp Dumplings
with Orange Chili Sauce. The book also includes some of Bonnie's most
popular dishes, such as Wheat Berry and Grilled Corn Salad, Split Pea
Soup with Dill and Old-fashioned Rice Pudding, as well as
time-honoured classics like Prime Rib of Beef with Yorkshire Pudding
and Double Fudge Chocolate Cake. The recipes are fresh and full of
flavour but never difficult to prepare, and Bonnie's trademark
step-by-step method and reassuring guidance will help even the most
nervous cook through techniques like making meringues, working with
phyllo and cooking the perfect risotto.
Along with the delicious recipes and striking photographs, Bonnie
provides her own insights on topics she considers important to home
cooking, from choosing organic produce to preparing light meals and
cooking for children. And the text is full of funny and down-to-earth
anecdotes gleaned from her extensive travels, her latest restaurant
finds and her many years of teaching and working with some of the
world's best chefs.
This beautiful book is a must-have for anyone who loves good food, and
for Bonnie Stern fans everywhere.
