Caprial Cooks For Friends Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Entertaining may be one of our favorite ways to spend time with family and friends, but who has the energy and know-how to do it as much as we'd like? With her down-to-earth approach to cooking at home, chef Caprial Pence brings new ease and leisure to casual, robust entertaining in Caprial Cooks For Friends Cookbook. 

In this latest installment in her cooking show companion series, Caprial escorts readers into her home kitchen, where she serves up over 120 crowd-pleasing recipes and shares her secrets for pulling off fabulous brunches, lunches, and dinners. No matter the occasion or the season, you'll find a wealth of appetizers, entrees, and desserts to wow palates of all persuasions. 

Featured dishes range from the down-home to the exotic, from the sensible to the sensational. Leave that cheese log in the freezer and serve up finger food with flair, like Shiitake Spring Rolls, Tuna Tartare with Wasabi Vinaigrette, or Fava Bean Bruschetta. Save the cold cuts for Dagwood and impress your guests with hearty, easy-to-execute main courses like New York Steaks with Chimichurri and Port Glaze or Roasted Vegetable Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Rouille. And just when your guests think you can't possibly scale further culinary heights, treat them to an aperitif alongside a divine Chocolate Mousse with Spice-Poached Pears or a Rhubarb Creme Brulee. Lively entertaining primers on such topics as pairing wine with food, cooking for large gatherings, and preparing the perfect cocktail round out the collection.
