Dozens of deliciously indulgent hot cheese dishes, tips on selecting the best cheeses for cooking, tasting notes, wine and beer pairings, producer recommendations, and more expert knowledge make Melt, Stretch, & Sizzle a must-have for cheese lovers.
These easy yet decadent recipes will change the way you eat and cook with cheese. A workhorse of the kitchen, cheese adds depth, flavor, and texture to sauces, soups, sandwiches, dips and snacks, fondues, and every dish you truly love. Melt, Stretch, & Sizzle demystifies recipes for delicate baked ricotta with herbs, a perfectly puffed dutch baby with bacon, pecorino popovers fit for any holiday party, and Brazil’s crave-inducing pao de quiejo. Alongside cheese, the humble potato becomes an elegant gratin, is doused in cheese curds and gravy for poutine, and melts into the ultimate aligot. The author also refreshes old favorites, such as studding traditional baked pasta with a whole burrata, and describes a host of creative grilled cheese combinations. The finishing epic raclette spread with multiple menus will inspire your next legendary dinner party.
Keenan imparts useful expertise on the ways the different types of cheese age and melt, educating readers on the right ones to source for each application. Whether looking for all-new avenues of cheesy bliss or modern twists on well-loved dishes, cheese lovers will dive in headlong and never look back.
Easy cheesy This book has a cool retro vibe, beautiful and clear photos for every recipe, tongue-in-cheek humor that makes it fun to read, and best of all – the recipes are easy. Keenan explains you can use cheese found in your supermarket for every recipe in the book, and the other ingredients are pretty straightforward too. I enjoy cooking but wouldnât consider myself a pro, and the instructions are straightforward and not intimidating at all. Iâve already made the stuffed pumpkin for an Oktoberfest…
Beautiful & comprehensive book about cooking with cheese I was really looking forward to this second book by Tia Keenan and it did not disappoint. The photos are gorgeous, I love the food styling and the writing is witty and engaging. Melt, Stretch & Sizzle is an amazing holiday gift (even better: get that special someone BOTH of Keenanâs Books!) Iâm looking forward to cooking some of the many imaginative, unique recipes this holiday season.
CALLING ALL CHEESE LOVERS A cookbook and a photography book in one! I absolutely love the images, and also love that it includes old bodies and Black bodies, which I feel is lacking in the industry. There’s quite a range of recipes (including soups – my favorite!). This also makes a great gift, would recommend to anyone that loves to cook, loves cheese (WHO DOESN’T), and people that like coffee table cooks (seriously, the photography is amazing).
