The creator of the award-winning Beecher’s Handmade Cheese
in Seattle, Kurt Beecher Dammeier knows that great food
begins with the highestquality ingredients prepared
simply,so their natural, intense flavors shine through. In
this, his first cookbook, you’ll discover that meals based
on great raw materials require fewer ingredients,take less
time to prepare, are healthier for you and your family, and
taste phenomenal. In Pure Flavor,Kurt shares more than 125 favorite recipes
from his popular gourmet food shops and restaurant. This is
fresh food that celebrates the quintessentially American
flavors of the Pacific Northwest region that Kurt calls
home. He shows you how pan-searing locally grown broccoli
brings out its unique flavor, how an outstanding aged
American Cheddar turns a bowl of tomato soup into ameal to
remember, how a simple marmalade sauce can effortlessly
enliven pork chops, and how asplash of light vinaigrette
punctuated with lemon and basil makes any fresh fish shine. Here are recipes for everything from a winning weekend
breakfast dish of Apple-Hazelnut Waffles with Northwest
Berry Syrup to hearty dinners like Dungeness Crab Mac &
Cheese.Kurt knows where to find plump Washington cherries,
crunchy Oregon hazelnuts,and fresh Puget Sound salmon and
encourages home cooks to explore the culinary bounties of
their area. He even includes helpful sidebars that demystify
food terms, explaining the difference between Dungeness and
peekytoe crabs,farmed and wild salmon, and “natural”and
“organic.” Whether it’s the sweet-tart bite of a juicy blackberryor the
pungent tang of awonderful blue cheese, natural and fresh
flavors can be discovered anywhere. With stunning
photography and irresistible recipes, Pure Flavor will
inspire you to seek out America’s pure flavors, wherever you
live.
