« No more bowl-half-empty attitude | Main | Everybody's out on a Saturday night » Thursday, February 1, 2007Just the basicsA little black book resembling a bible came into our office several weeks ago. It sports a red ribbon marker just like a bible and is stamped in gold leaf. Of course, it's not the holy book, but a food/cookbook called "The Basics," published in Europe by Homarus Cookbooks. The photographer Tony Le Duc is also the publisher and this is his first effort, with Filip Verheyden, who wrote the recipes. "The Basics" -- only 5-inches by 6 1/2-inches -- has a Cooks' Illustrated feeling with selections such as "To bard: Classic French culinary term meaning to cover or wrap ..." and how to stir-fry and how to slice chiffonades of herbs. Each explanation and the simple recipes for salad dressing, orange sauce, and more, is accompanied by beautiful, painterly-like photographs. Alas, it will stay on my shelf rather than going into the kitchen. Posted by Alison Arnett at 06:52 PM
