250 Recipes for Poultry, Seafood, Meat, Vegetables, Pastries, Eggs, Breads & Pasta, and Fruit
Did you ever consider that many well-known recipes are actually based on fillings and stuffings? For example, cannelloni, crepes, crown roasts, the whole range of pies - the list goes on and on. Every single recipe in this book is a particular food that has been stuffed or filled with another food, and all the familiar favourites are here. But don't just think of stuffed turkey or stuffed chicken. This book is not just about traditional stuffed foods.
Imagine entertaining with the meal served in a pot in the middle of the table - except that the pot is a pumpkin! Imagine Whole Pumpkin Creole, served with crusty bread and a good wine. Think of Mediterranean Squid with a Red Wine Sauce, of Burgundy Pie, of Crepes with Ricotta Cheese with a Strawberry Sauce.
This book deals with the filling and stuffing of all sorts of foods using an incredible array of readily available ingredients. There are huge hearty meals, light lunches and delicate desserts. Whether it be cooked or uncooked, savoury or sweet, filled with nuts, vegetables, fruit or all three, this book provides not only a sumptuous selection of recipes but also a new approach to the concept of stuffed and filled food.
