About this product

Product Information

A Different Direction in Cooking from America's Favorite Chef Chef Paul Prudhomme, America's most innovative chef, invites you to take a Fork in the Road, a journey toward a different way of cooking. If your goal is to produce great-tasting, flavorful dishes that everyone will enjoy, yet are still good for you, then this is the cookbook for you Chef Paul's new book offers not only recipes but a model for anyone who wants to modify his or her cooking to minimize the use of less healthful ingredients, yet retain the rich taste and texture that make them so delicious. For instance, he uses pureed dried beans and reduced fruit juices to create viscosity and enhance flavors. Both add an enormous amount of richness with virtually no fat. Chef Paul provides you with specific recipes to show you how these ingredients work, and encourages you to try them with all your favorite dishes. To make rich, flavorful sauces and gravies for great-tasting meat, poultry, or fish--without a drop of oil, butter, shortening, or other fat--he has developed recipes in which dry flour is browned before adding it to the dish. And he always tells you to start with a hot pan, so you can "bronze," or "caramelize," an ingredient without any added fat. These techniques will make all your food taste better--new recipes as well as your favorite standbys. Perhaps the most exciting portion of this book is the chapter on Magic Brightening Broths. These delicious broths are based upon defatted stocks, and get extra goodness from carefully balanced seasonings that enhance but don't overwhelm the flavors of foods cooked in them. Chef Paul envisions that once you've discovered how easy and enjoyable Magic Brightening is, you and your friends and family will want to cook this way several times a month. From breads and breakfasts, through main and side dishes, to desserts and snacks, Chef Paul has streamlined his favorite recipes. He's taken out as much fat as possible, leaving the texture, the richness, and the taste for which he's famous. This is not a diet book, but one dedicated to healthful ways to cook.

I bought "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut (Delacorte Press, 1969) and the copy is exactly as described and shown in pictures. The book arrived in a protective bag and carefully packaged by the seller, in excellent condition, with no damages caused by the transportation service, before estimated delivery. The seller answered my additional questions quickly and added a lovely bookmark from his bookstore. I thank the seller for his good care and certainly would give him six stars out of five.

  • A change in cooking and eating habit, self explanatory

    Chef Prodhomme wrote this book when he had to make a drastic change in his cooking and eating habits or die. I am at the same place in my life and I would like to eat healty but I want something that is good, and interesting to eat. I don't want broiled chicken, that taste like cardboard. Chef Prodhomme set out to learn a new way to cook, and serve more healthful foods. I believe he accomplished what he set out to do. By combining traditional foods with interesting new and exciting ways to season, cook, and serve foods he has reinvented another way to cook by using unorthodox ingredients. Thickening sauces, and gravies with low fat puree of beans, grains, and seasoning with low fat broth. He has managed to keep the taste and texture of normally High fat dishes. The book was reasonable ...
