Gratins: Savory and Sweet Recipes from Oven to Table
From The Press Release
It is the crust that makes the gratin. As the ingredients below it turn soft and bubbly, a gratin's topping of bread crumbs, nuts, or cheese becomes
temptingly golden and crunchy. The contrast of creamy and crips in every bite is what makes gratins irresistible (plus the fact that they are cooked and served in one pot - less cleanup!).
Some may think of only potato gratin, but this versatile dish can be savory or sweet, gourmet or homespun, a supporting player or the star of the meal.
In Gratins, author Tina Salter
presents more than 50 gratin recipes for first courses, entrees, side dishes, and desserts, along with tips and techniques to make these upscale casseroles
fun to prepare. Combining a variety of sophisticated flavors that are easy to pop in the oven, this collection includes innovative recipes such as:
Artichoke Crowns Stuffed with Saffron-Scented Crab
Butternut Squash and Pecan Gratin with Goat Cheese Polenta and Portabello Mushroom Gratin
Mexican Shredded Pork Gratin
Pear Pound Cake Gratin
But of course, Salter doesn't forget the famous potato-based favorites. You’ll also find recipes such as Creamy Potato Gratin with Smoked
Salmon and Chives, and Buttery Spinach and Potato Gratin. Offering a bold new twist on hot dishes, Gratins is truly the upper crust of
casserole cookbooks.
