Dori Sanders Country Cooking or Slow Cooked Comfort

Dori Sanders' Country Cooking: Recipes and Stories from the Family Farm Stand

Author: Dori Sanders

Dori was taught to cook homegrown foods in her mother's kitchen: dishes like Smothered Chicken, Fried Green Tomato Parmigiana, Warm Honey Gingerbread, and Pecan Pie with Black Walnut Crust. And every recipe had a story to go with it.

Along with classic Southern dishes, Dori's own fresh-picked favorites, traditional hearty fare, and cooking for Northerners, Dori includes innovative ways to substitute sugar and fat using fresh fruits and vegetables to add sweetness and flavor.

Slow-Cooked Comfort: Soul-Satisfying Stews, Casseroles, and Braises for Every Season

Author: Lydie Marshall

Celebrated cookbook author and beloved teacher Lydie Marshall presents 120 comforting, simple, and delicious recipes for succulent one-dish meals in this natural follow-up to her acclaimed Soup of the Day.

In this latest collection, Lydie focuses on fish, poultry, meat, and vegetables that have been simmered in aromatic broths and sauces. Unparalleled in flavor, these dishes resonate with the coziness of family suppers, hearth, and home. Although these meals epitomize the pleasures of comfort food, the recipes are simple and direct, often requiring just one pot. These make-ahead dishes actually improve with time and are perfect for busy home cooks who want maximum flavor with minimal fuss. Featuring Provençal Beef Stew, which will warm you on the coldest winter day, or a light and satisfying Zucchini and Tomato Custard, featuring the flavors of late summer, Slow-Cooked Comfort is a year-round source of delight.

A nice follow-up to her Soup of the Day, Marshall's new book offers simple recipes for warming braises and stews, from Short Ribs in Tomato Sauce to Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic. While many dishes come from the author's native France, there are recipes from a variety of other cuisines as well. And although meat and poultry entr es predominate, Marshall serves up a selection of delectable vegetable dishes, all of which can be prepared in advance-in fact, most of the recipes benefit from being made ahead and then reheated, always a boon for busy cooks. A good companion to Paula Wolfert's Slow Mediterranean Kitchen and Molly Steven's All About Braising, this is recommended for most collections. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
