The Paley's Place Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from the Pacific Northwest Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Paleys wrote a wonderful, tasty cookbook filled with "technically accessible" recipes that are feasible to be materialized in the kitchen even in the unexperienced hands of a dilligent novice, which I am not. This is not to say, however, that I am ready to brave the Wellington Duck yet despite the pleading for the dish from my 8 year old son. I especially enjoy trying "Russian" dishes that Mr.Paley, who spent his chidhood and adolescent years in Russia, presents with his own creative twists. "Olivier" is a Russian classic, and no holiday table is complete without it...Mr. Paley adds green string beans to the old fashioned classic and it gives a new kick of flavor! Kisel, a delicious winter berry drink, is a must for anyone who, like me, avoids carbonated soft drinks. Mushroom lovers will find mouthwatering options for their favorite fungi.
The award winning haute cuisine chef, Mr. Paley, started his grown up life as a classical pianist- a metier that requires, among other skills,a precise touch, perfect sense of time and, of course, good taste.I find Mr.Paley's recipes benefiting from his Julliard sophistication:) All the dishes that I have tried so far come out nicely, as long as I follow the recipe precisely!
The book is written in a very active, upbeat voice, with just right amount of personal anecdotes and informative tips. Actually, I could use even more tips as far as my everyday cookings goes. For instance, I did not know that regular table salt kills the flavor of foods due to the additives. So, go ahead and use Kosher salt instead.
The illustrations are tempting and appetizing, and the recipes are easy to follow.Highly recommend this book. I hope one day to eat at the Paley's place restaurant in Oregon.
