Bill Telepan is passionate about ingredients. He wants to
know where his food comes from and how it's cared for before
it finds its way into his pots and pans and onto the table.
A familiar face at greenmarkets, he personally knows the men
and women who sell there. He buys locally and cooks
seasonally. Hailed by Gourmet magazine as "one of the most
thoughtful chefs in Manhattan," Telepan says, "It's about
flavor first," and creates inventive, mouthwatering dishes
that celebrate the seasons and showcase the best that local
farmers have to offer. In Inspired by Ingredients: Market Menus and Family
Favorites from a Three-Star Chef, Telepan, who was chef of
Midtown Manhattan's JUdson Grill for six years and cooked at
such three- and four-star restaurants as Le Bernardin, Le
Cirque, and Gotham Bar and Grill, shares his passion in a
cookbook that is both exciting and resoundingly practical;
it is full of bold, enticing flavors and sound everyday
advice for shopping and cooking. There are chapters for
every season, each composed of three theme menus, a
special-occasion menu, a make-ahead meal, as well as recipes
grouped by ingredient or technique, such as peas in the
spring and preserving in the summer. The chapter Dishes for
All Seasons includes recipes that satisfy no matter what the
calendar says; and there are classics from Bill's restaurant
menus, such as The Chicken and Potato-Crusted Crab Cakes.
Whether it's a dessert inspired by a favorite childhood
treat or a fresh, elegant twist on spaghetti carbonara, each
dish is wonderfully appealing and truly delicious. There are
profiles of Bill's favorite farmers and suppliers, and wine
notes from distinguished wine expert Beth von Benz accompany
each recipe. Illustrated with Quentin Bacon's glorious photographs,
Inspired by Ingredients brings the freshest flavors of the
market to the table and will inspire home cooks everywhere.
