Home cooks and industry professional alike will welcome these
single-ingredient cookbooks into their kitchens. Each title in the
COOK WEST Series offers 50 original recipes and helpful tips to
impress, inspire and invigorate your cooking.
Western cuisine is gaining popularity, and this recognition couldn’t be
more deserved. Where but in the West can one experience the peculiar, yet
perfect, pairing of chili and chocolate? Or a refreshing glass of prickly
pear lemonade on a hot summer day? Soothe your soul with the creaminess
of avocado or allow your taste buds to dance around a tantalizing olive.
Enjoy the pleasantly stimulating aroma of roasting garlic or the zesty
tang of cilantro.
From rubs and sauces to delightful desserts, Western cooks have laid
claim to a culinary art as original and distinct as the landscape itself.
Conveniently sized and affordably priced, each beautifully designed book
in the COOK WEST Series is the perfect addition to every cookbook
library.
