Gourmet Cooking for Dummies® by Charlie Trotter (1997, Paperback)
If tuna casserole is the most exciting meal you've made lately, let Gourmet Cooking For Dummies™ come to your culinary rescue! In a matter of minutes, you can create mouth-watering dishes from soups and sauces to zesty vegetarian delights and seafood masterpieces that are guaranteed to impress your family and friends.
Gourmet Cooking for Dummies is perfect when you want to upgrade from making back-of-the box recipes to mastering the fine points of culinary technique. Charlie Trotter, known for the creative, sophisticated dishes he prepares at his Chicago restaurant, is one of America's über gourmet chefs. Trotter is famous for amazingly artistic presentations, as the chapter "Architectural Cuisine Made Easy" amply demonstrates. Gourmet Cooking for Dummies is a good guide when you want to ease into classic French culinary techniques such as de-glazing and tempering, and learn how to apply them in contemporary ways. Along with recipes ranging from reasonably easy to recherché, Trotter crams in an encyclopedic amount of information, complemented by 16 pages of color photos and illustrations that are sprinkled throughout the text. He even includes advice on pairing foods with wine, lists other cookbooks he recommends, and tells where to send away for the best ingredients. When you want to stun friends with a Whole Roasted Tomato filled with Roasted Garlic Soup and Crispy Fried Leeks, or Chicken Roulade with Prosciutto and Artichoke-Spinach Purée, Gourmet Cooking for Dummies shows you how to go for it.

- Set up your gourmet kitchen with the right pots and pans, tools, and spices
- Create complete menus for any occasion, from a meal with your boss to a summer picnic
- Prepare sauces, soups, vegetable dishes, seafood creations, desserts, and more with a minimum of ingredients
