Salsa, Sambals, Chutneys And Chow-Chows [Paperback]

Christopher Schlesinger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 21, 1995

Start with the head-busting floral heat of the Scotch Bonnet pepper, add a juicy raw mango, some crisp jicama, a handful of aromatic cilantro, and a spritz of lime juice, and what do you get? Dice it up with avacodo and corn just off the cob, fresh oregano, raw red onion, and a few dashes of Tabasco, and you've got Avacado and Corn Salsa. Succulent peaches? Slice them up, squeeze some oranges and limes, stir in some molasses and a jalapeno or two, and you're ready for Sweet and Spicy Peach Relish.

This review is from: Salsa, Sambals, Chutneys And Chow-Chows (Paperback)

A friend recommended this book when we were looking for texts for our food-centered website, Gorged and I fell in love with the combinations of flavors and textures.

Smoky mushroom concoctions and tart adaptations of traditional relishes remind us that food is about exploration and the courage to venture, not rely upon safe standards and measurements. While the recipes are clear and easy to follow, the spirit of experimentation is nonetheless prevalent throughout. The resources for hard to find ingredients also makes this book a winner. My only regret is that it's so brief!
