Book Review: A Must-Have For Any Cook
Summary: 5 Stars
The Complete Book of Dressings contains 100 recipes for salads, seafood, poultry, pasta, fruit and more. Since I'm steering away from processed foods as much as possible, making my own salad dressings seems a logical step and this book has given me lots of recipes to work with. I don't like the low-fat versions of salad dressing from the grocery store and ususally when they take out the fat, they replace it with something else like too much salt, sugar or high-fructose corn syrup (also in a lot of the regular bottled dressings). How much better to make my own with fresh ingredients. My favorite so far is the Parmesan Peppercorn Creamy Dressing.
This book includes traditional favorites like Ranch Dressing and basic vinaigrettes along side new ones such as Creamy Lemon-Caper Dressing, Apricot-Yogurt Dressing, and Green French Dressing. The author also gives suggestions as to which dressing goes best with what kind of salad or food, and many of the dressings double as marinades or sauces for pasta and meat and can be served warm or cold for more versatility.
Special equipment is not needed. The dressings are easily made using a blender or wisk. Most of the recipes only yield 1/2 cup and it is recommended that they be used within two days so they don't have the shelf life of bottled dressings (but they also don't have the added chemicals that prolong the shelf life). However, I found them so easy to make that mixing up a fresh batch of dressing a few times a week is not a problem.
This book would be a great addition to any cook's collection or for anyone wishing to eliminate processed foods from their diet
I was given a copy of this book to review by the publisher. However, my opinion wasn't solicited and is mine alone. If I didn't like the book I would say so.
