And I love fresh citrus flavours. This book is perfect. Valerie Aikman-Smith and Victoria Pearson live in southern California, citrus heaven where what doesn't grow in your garden is available at the farmers market. They have taken this abundance and collected a series of recipes that use fresh and home-preserved citrus fruit to great advantage. The recipes are grouped by fruit and also by kind of dish to help you pick out exactly what you need. All the recipes sound good and I am particularly pleased with the Pantry Staples section that includes preserved tangerines, citrus salt, and citrus oil. Elsewhere in the book we find garnishes like Lime and Chile Salted Almonds and Ginger Kumquats, a blending of two of my favorite flavours. This is a great cookbook if you like fresh citrus flavour and bright citrus colours. I have a suggestion, though. My grandmother's recipe for Candied Grapefruit Peel changes the water twice on the simmering citrus peel to reduce the bitterness. The recipe here doesn't change the water at all because orange peel isn't bitter. I suggest you candy any peel you want but taste it to decide how many water changes are needed. I received a review copy of "Citrus: Sweet and Savory Sun-Kissed Recipes" by Valerie Aikman-Smith and Victoria Pearson (Ten Speed) through NetGalley.com. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A visually stunning collection of 75 inventive, foolproof recipes that highlight the sunny ingredient of citrus, from the ubiquitous lemon, lime, and orange to the more obscure kumquat and yuzu. A love for all things citrus is chronicled in this elegant collection of recipes that feature every common and exotic type of citrus--from Pixies and Eureka lemons to Valencia oranges and kumquats. Accessible yet sophisticated dishes including Grapefruit and Gin Marmalade, Tangerine Sticky Ribs, and Burnt Sugar Lemon Tart highlight the versatility of their juicy ingredients- zest the skin to make salt, peel the skin and candy it, cut up the flesh and add it to salads or bake it with roast duck. Photographer Victoria Pearson and food stylist and author Valerie Aikman-Smith capture the beauty of citrus at the market, on the plate, and in the colorful citrus groves surrounding Victoria's house. Lushly illustrated, Citrus will entice readers into their kitchens to fully savor winter's bounty. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The photos are fantastic. Everything looks like it could jump off the page. Such vibrant colors, elegantly plated and poured. Predictably, for me, we made Havana Mojitos inspired by this book.
Overall, I love the looks of this hardcover book. It has, as I mentioned before, gorgeous photography and over 70 recipes. But this isn’t a cookbook I would turn to on a regular basis. Some recipes don’t feature the citrus as a main ingredient but rather as a side component. Such as candied orange peel for the panna cotta or the lemon cream on the blueberry pancakes.
Now, blueberry pancakes are a favorite of mine so this recipe interested me greatly- but I doubt I would make the lemon cream sauce for them.
Overall, this is one I would have been content checking it from the library instead of owning. ( )
