Rose's Melting Pot: A Cooking Tour of America's Ethnic Celebrations

Over the past 300 years, America's table has been enhanced by countless immigrant cultures as well as her regional cooks. In her latest book, Rose Levy Beranbaum, perhaps the most gifted cooking teacher in America, adapts many of these dishes for the American Kitchen. As always, with Rose's books, this one draws on her years of experience in teaching to explain in the clearest and simplist language how to make the most delectable and delightful foods with ease. CHAPTERS INCLUDE: Soups and appetizers, bread, main courses, side dishes, vinegarettes, sauces, stocks, brunch, desserts, beverages.

It's quite amazing how incredibly talented Rose truly is. She has been such an inspiration to me, sharing her wisdom and her words; I am myself on my way to a wonderful life of culinary adventures, beginning with an education at the Culinary Institute of America! "Rose's Melting Pot" walks the reader through extraordinary new territories in the world of food. She carefully chose the most interesting, comforting, exciting, and delicious dishes that totally tantalize one's taste buds! I have already dabbled with a few of the recipes and, just as always, her descriptions were most exacting and her recipes consistently precise. I always feel like I have Rose right in the kitchen with me when preparing any dish- whether right from her pages or the creation of anyone else. And this book continues right on that path! ...My favorites, so far, are the Trellis Roasted Garlic Soup, Walnut Fougasse, Japanese Chirashi Sushi, Endive & Walnut Salad w/ Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette, Mexican Killer Kahlua Chiffon Cake (YuMMy! ).. To anyone, I HIGHLY recommend this magnificent book to anybody who enjoys trying international favorites.. Bon appetit!
