Cookbooks
Douglas grew up in a big family where his mother and
grandmother served big dinners every night of the week.
Today, he's one of the country's hottest chefs, known not
only for making Pacific Northwest cuisine and wine a
centerpiece of American dining but also for hosting
sensational big dinner parties at home. With his wife,
Jackie Cross, Douglas takes an equally innovative approach
to cookbooks, sharing menus and memories in an
out-of-this-world collection. Drawn from special
meals with family members, friends, vintners, and fellow
restaurant owners, Tom's Big Dinners brings together
thirteen of his favorite feasts, with no-nonsense recipes
that make it easy to cook like a restaurant chef without
ever leaving home. The menus range in style from the
refined Wine Cellar Dinner, with recipes for Goat Cheese
Fondue, Vine-Roasted Squab with Syrah Jam, and Chocolate
Crêpes, to the relaxing Screen Door Barbecue, featuring
Pit-Roasted Pork Spareribs, Down-Home Collard Greens, and
Hard Watermelon Lemonade, and the festive Pop Pop's Winter
Solstice, starting with Pop Pop's Perfect Martini and
Caramelized Fennel Tart, followed by Creamy Seafood Chowder
and Parsley Scones. The Pike Place Market Menu and
Puget Sound Crab Feed showcase classic Seattle-style dishes,
while Tom's extravagant Chinese Feast incorporates the Asian
influence prevalent in Pacific Rim cooking. In their
energetic and warmly inviting book, Tom and Jackie take the
hassle out of first-rate entertaining. Suggestions for
do-ahead preparation appear in each chapter, along with wine
pairings for each course. A celebration in itself,
Tom's Big Dinners brings big-time fun, flavor, and
flair to your own dinners.
