Chef Michael Bennett

A Gluten Free Flavor Quest Chef Michael Bennett 1st edition

Summer cookbooks are fanciful creatures high on whimsy and shamelessly devoted to making a good life better. For some that means lingering in the farmers markets or gardening with the kids. For others it's indulging in some usually forbidden pleasures tropically sweet, the charred and fishy. And for some, it means crossing oceans to sample less familiar fare without ever leaving the porch. In this book there is something for everyone, AND go just fine with bare toes and a sun hat. You will love how the Chef s narratives are paired up with the Caribb-ican recipes. It was like reading a recipe guide and a journal from a chef on his journey through cooking American food with a Caribbean twist. You will also like the idea that the book is broken up into segments like; spices, salads, sauces and entrees. So, besides having 125 + recipes squeezed into 170 pages, you actually get a multiple of at least 3 times that much if you interchange the sub-recipes into the entree section. This book is of course featuring healthy cooking of Seafood. Since it is a tropical seafood cookbook you expect recipes to be healthy but, it is also a GLUTEN FREE cookbook. The chef explains that the recipes are mostly wood fire grilled so the need for adding wheat flour (gluten) is not needed. Chef Michael Bennett goes out of his way to create sauces that are as healthy as they are exotic - to pair with the grilled seafood. Once you investigate the recipes you'll see that this book might be your favorite cookbook for your weekend family dinners.
