The
Flavors of Olive Oil: A Tasting Guide and Cookbook
Price: $30.00
Walk
along the aisles of almost any grocery store
in America
and you’ll be overwhelmed by the shelves
of olive oil: bottles from France, Greece, Italy,
and
Spain; cold-pressed oil; hand-pressed oil. How
do you know which oil is best? Which one should
you
choose for salads? For sauteing? For dipping?
In
The Flavors of Olive Oil, author Deborah Krasner demystifies
the world of olive oil. By classifying olive
oil in four distinct groups (delicate and mild,
fruity
and fragrant, oilvey and peppery, and leafy-green
and grassy), Krasner guides readers through
the
different characteristics of more than 150 diffrent
olive oils, providing a step-by-step tasting
guide
to the flavors of each one.
Krasner incorporates
olive oil into more than 100 delicious, mouthwatering
recipes, including “Tomato, Mozarella,
and Olive Oil on a Baguette,” “Orange,
Onion and Olive Salad,” “ Overnight
Country Bread,” “Radiatore with
Parsley Sauce and Sweet Corn,” “Lemon
Thyme Roast Chicken with Carmelized Roasted
Vegetables,”
“Olive Oil and Rosemary Mashed Potatoes,”
and “Orange Chocolate Chip Biscotti.”
