into hot sugar to create a silken, smoky caramel, or browned until
nutty and speckled before being folded through cake batter or
buttercream. Dotted on to vegetables before roasting or braising,
stirred through rice after cooking. Butter won't just transform your
individual dishes, but will transform your way of cooking
Butter:
A Celebration is a joyous immersion in all things butter, revelling in
its alchemical power to transform almost any dish, from good to
transcendent.
Award-winning food writer Olivia Potts takes us on
a grand tour of butter and its many varied applications, from old
school chicken Kiev to mille-feuille, from oysters Rockefeller to
saffron and yoghurt tahdig. This is a book to be savoured for its
wonderful writing, as well as for its irresistible recipes and expert
introduction to patisserie, too. Full of history, anecdotes and, of
course, delicious recipes resplendent with butter, it includes:
*Turkish eggs with yoghurt and chill butter
*Butter-basted rib eye steak
*Steamed artichoke with anchovy butter
*Grilled kippers with horseradish butter
*Buttermilk pancakes
*Sticky gingerbread
*French salted butter biscuits
*Brioche feuilletée
*Damson plum crumble
