What's the perfect preserving temperature?). No matter what season it is, which jars you have, or how much time you have, this book has something for everyone, beginner or expert. Sweet Jams & Jellies: Once you’ve turned out flawless favorites like Raspberry & Strawberry, try your hand at Blueberry Earl Grey Jam. Savory Jams & Chutneys: Start with classics like Caramelized Onion Jam and then make a delicious Apple Shallot Chutney to pair with a favorite dish. Vegetable Pickles: Simply cooked in a vinegar brine or long-fermented, every pickle is perfectly crisp. Fruit in Syrup: Enjoy jewel-like fruit, from bite-size to whole, in a syrup made of the perfect ratio of water to sugar. Tomatoes: Intensify their flavor through roasting or lock in summer sweetness with fresh tomato sauce. Canning Books Are Hot More and more people are canning and preserving at home for the satisfaction of tranforming raw height-of-season produce into jewel-like jars of jams, jellies, and condiments, or umami-packed pickles.

Canvas and Cuisine


Book Description

Canvas and Cuisine The Art of the Fresh Market By: Jorj Morgan and Susan Fazio Part coffee table book, part travel log, this visually delicious, delectably readable cookbook pays tribute to what may be the world’s most important treasure: fresh, locally grown food. Canvas and Cuisine: The Art of the Fresh Market is a passport, inviting you to visualize the Italian seaside town of Positano where merchants offer baskets of produce featuring locally grown vegetables. The burst of color and depth of texture shows a zest for life. Home cooks feel the same way as the painter, plating meals for the people they love. The foodie consumes, the artist memorializes; and in this book, they come together as one hungry entity looking to be sated. Canvas and Cuisine ensnares the senses of both the cook and the artist. We take gorgeous food, chat about its use in native cuisine and then bring it to the home cook’s kitchen. Open this book and you’ll see a basket of potatoes in a Madrid open air market that inspires Patatas Bravas, a tapas dish with a kicked-up spicy sauce. You’ll see a painting of crates holding indigo-hued eggplants that inspires a dish of Vietnamese stew. You’ll see a bustling square reminiscent of London’s Borough market that inspires a dish of English cheddar, apple and sausage stuffed acorn squash. The authors of Canvas and Cuisine know this truth: beauty of different cultures come through best in their native foods. At first glance, some of the recipes in this cookbook’s pages seem exotic – but make no mistake; these foods are simply local and fresh, and they easily find their way into your kitchen. Canvas and Cuisine illustrates how to make the looking and the gathering of ingredients fun – an activity that brings family and friends together.

Everything Chocolate


Book Description

Make your decadent dreams come true with this chocolate-covered collection of more than 200 foolproof recipes that showcase the treasured dessert ingredient--from delicious morning baked goods and pick-me-up treats to rich after-dinner delights for special occasions. Chocolate may be the most universally loved (and craved) flavoring, and Everything Chocolate is the definitive guide to any sweet treat you can imagine featuring it, for any time of day. Wake up with streusel-topped Chocolate-Walnut Muffins that are easy to make or professional-grade Chocolate Croissants when weekend time allows. Pack lunches with pleasing Milk Chocolate Revel Bars or serve Magic Chocolate Flan Cake or Chocolate Pavlova with Berries and Whipped Cream after dinner. Much of why we fall for chocolate is because it brings back memories of candy bar snacks and sneaking just-baked chocolate chip cookies while they're still warm (we have the best recipe). We channel the nostalgia in recipes like Chocolate Fluff Cookies and Frozen Snickers Ice Cream Cake. But chocolate is also a grown-up favorite for black-tie desserts--think low, lush slices like Blood Orange Chocolate Tart or ganache-enrobed Chocolate-Pecan Torte (we'll teach you how to get a perfectly smooth coating). The full range of chocolate recipes is here, avoiding the pitfalls of unbalanced chocolate flavor (too bitter or too sweet) or dry, crumbly baked goods (chocolate contains starch and we've learned how to mind it). Become a home chocolatier by learning all about chocolate nomenclature, how to shop for the best-tasting cocoa powder, when you should use chocolate bars versus chips, decorating dazzling desserts with chocolate, and how to make candies and cookies with shiny, snappy chocolate coatings with our shortcut to tempering.

In addition to the recipes, essays, and helpful sidebars, this book also features the trademark black-and-white illustrations that have become synonymous with Cook's Illustrated, creative use of the beloved front- and back-cover art, and a new addition: gorgeous, full-color photographs of each dish. Featured recipes include: Perfect corn on the cob that never gets boiled, ultracreamy tomato soup that's completely dairy-free, the fastest roast chicken recipe, "oven-grilled" London broil, and ingenious, low-key approaches to traditionally high-fuss recipes such as risotto, French fries, pie crust, and many more.
