Cookbook for Chef's on Herbs I've been gourmet cooking and growing most of my own herbs now for years, some successfully, and others not so. In looking for some aid with what ails my herb garden, sought this one out as possibility.^M
My favorite cookbook--Easy Elegance! Growing up in the Seattle area, the Herbfarm Restaurant was our local version of Napa's French Laundry: very difficult to get into, very expensive, but a 'must-do' culinary experience where you'd likely be served the meal of your life. In the late 90s, I worked with a guy who held another job as a part-time prep cook at the Herbfarm. After the restaurant burned down and chef Jerry Traunfeld was finishing up this cookbook during the re-build, that prep-cook brought in a few of the recipes for me to preview before the book went to press. After trying the pork with sage, onions and prosciutto served over toasted coriander mashed potatoes and runner beans with summer savory, I was hooked! I had to go out and buy the cookbook, and I still use it more than any other.^M
A real treasure The recipes in Jerry Traunfeld's The Herbfarm Cookbook will make your taste buds perk up and sing. And they'll have your friends begging for dinner invitations. |
