Review
Onions? A whole book on onions? Why? Yet think about it. Onions feature in national dishes across the globe from coq au vin, pesto, laksa, lamb stew, guacamole, Thai green curry and more. Here, award-winning food writer Brian Glover takes a serious look at the allium (onion) family encompassing onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and chives, displaying their diversity in a wonderful range of mouth-watering dishes, some traditional, some more eclectic, some just plain damn delicious. Recipes include: onion, parmesan and olive bread, vichyssoise, roast garlic with goat's cheese, walnut and herb pate, red onion and mushroom tartlets, leek salad with anchovies, eggs and parsley and shallot and garlic tarte tain with parmesan pastry... Teamed with meat or other vegetables, served as a main course, a starter or an accompaniment, this mainstay of every cook's vegetable store is shown to its best advantage, turned into the star of the meal and transformed from back seat burner to centre stage. Lavishly illustrated, clearly explained recipes and Glover's acknowledged culinary talent make this a must-have for every cook. - Lucy Watson

This review is from: Essential Onions (Paperback)
I first borrowed this book from the library. My husband prepared "Thai Prawn Salad with garlic dressing and frizzled shallots' for 2007 Mother's Day dinner. It was good. I like the recipes for potatoes with herbs, and a few others. Goat cheese is used in many recipes, I don't necessary use it.
