Their food is based on the generous use of fresh ingredients and bold flavour combinations, drawing heavily on a wide range of culinary traditions not least those of their homeland, Israel. The recipes here cover a range of ideas for vegetables, through meat and fish to cakes and meringues and offer a modern and imaginative approach which will appeal to the adventurous and curious home cook.]]> http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/7730_ottolenghi-the-cookbook-yotam-ottolenghi-2008-uk/feed 0 http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/935_the-scented-kitchen-frances-bissell-2007-uk-review http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/935_the-scented-kitchen-frances-bissell-2007-uk-review#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:34:23 +0000 JudithM http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/?p=935 Any comprehensively stocked kitchen will have many scented ingredients in the spice rack, drawer or cupboard, ranging from pungent to aromatic, depending on the types of dishes prepared and enjoyed in each household. This book is not concerned with any of them. The subject matter of The Scented Kitchen is perfumed flowers from the flower garden, using them in various ways to impart flavour and aroma, and in some instance, colour also. Had I come across this title on a shelf, I might well have passed it by, thereby missing an interesting read.]]> http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/935_the-scented-kitchen-frances-bissell-2007-uk-review/feed 0
