Description

The Pear Aficionado examines the unassuming and often under appreciated pear from orchard to table where it steals home plate with its flavor and versatility. With recipes for both the novice and intermediate home chef, the book showcases the fruit in an impressive variety of dishes ranging from fresh pear salads, to a pear quiche and a Caramelized pear mock souffl, a simple pear and berry galette, pear tarts, tortes, scones, and Chocolate Pear Biscotti, to Pear Salad Croissants, Salmon with Pear Marmalade and Balsamic Vinegar Reduction, and a tangy Grilled Pear and Swiss Reuben with Spicy Mustard Aioli. You might just discover pears are your favorite fruit after all!
