Savory Bacon & Onion Tartlets, flaky Filo Triangles with
Spinach & Feta, crunchy Bruschetta with Olives & Roasted
Peppers -- these are among the tantalizing hors d'oeuvre
recipes you will soon master with this book.
Williams-Sonoma Mastering Hors d'Oeuvres is a complete
cooking course in a single volume. The opening describes
various types of finger food and appetizers, including dips
and spreads and cold and hot hors d'oeuvres, and the
ingredients you need to make them. You will also learn how
to cook, season, and serve hors d'oeuvres, from readying
your mise en place to adding sophisticated finishing
touches.
Basic recipes and key techniques then illustrate dozens of
indispensable culinary building blocks, such as how to make
a pastry dough for tartlets or how to shuck an oyster.
Troubleshooting tips show you what can go wrong and how to
fix it without having to start all over again. Next the
master recipes lead you step-by-step, with friendly text
and instructive photographs, through every stage of
preparation. These recipes include helpful advice other
cookbooks assume you already know, and explain how to taste
and season food as you go -- one of the most valuable
kitchen secrets any cook can learn. The shorter recipes and
variations in each chapter encourage you to continue
practicing your newfound skills, building your repertory
and your confidence at the same time. Finally, a guide to
equipment and a glossary of ingredients round out your
comprehensive hors d'oeuvre-making course.
In these pages, you will find more than fifty classic
recipes that tell you, in both pictures and words, how
every dish you cook should look and taste from beginning to
end. Whether you are an aspiring novice or an accomplished
home cook, Mastering Hors d'Oeuvres will help you make
every time you entertain a special occasion.
Also available in a boxed set.
