Earl Peyroux's Gourmet Cooking
Author: Earl Peyroux
Celebrity chef Earl Peyroux has taught millions of fans the joys of "Gourmet Cooking" through his cookbooks and national PBS television show. However, these aspiring gourmets and gourmands demanded more. Peyroux has responded with his seventh cookbook, a combination of show favorites and never-before-seen dishes designed to sate the appetites of his most ardent fans.
Easy-to-follow recipes cover everything from hors d'oeuvres to desserts and span a wide spectrum of culinary classifications as well.
A New Orleans native, Peyroux draws on his roots to create such classic dishes as Shrimp Remoulade and Boiled Brisket of Beef with Horseradish Sauce. His classical training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris is evident in Coquille Saint Jacques Provencal (Sauteed Scallops with Tomato and Garlic) and Clafoutis au Pommes a la Normande (Apple Custard Tart from Normandy). The author has also lived in Pensacola, Florida, since 1963 and has added the flavors of the Gulf of Mexico to his recipes. Pickled Shrimp and Pecan-Fried Triggerfish are but two of the recipes that illustrate the importance of seafood to that area.
No matter your tastes, you will find dishes you will enjoy preparing as much as eating in the pages of Earl Peyroux's "Gourmet Cooking."
