Encourages the exploration of self and the expression of creative impulses in dishes prepared without a recipe
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Lucille Naimer is a jewelry designer and self-taught chef and a former sportswear and swimwear designer. This is her first book.
Naimer's stated goal of teaching cooks to be less dependent on recipes gets a real workout here. She combines her own Zen philosophy with the creative impulses of a Wolfgang Puck to encourage her pupils to think for themselves and create dishes that go beyond slavish repetition of mere lists of commands and fixed inventories of ingredients. Sometimes, like in a stir-fry, this approach has a lot to recommend it. But when it comes to pastry and the like, precision is often the key to success. Naimer devotes the final chapter of her book to variations on lasagna, clearly a favorite food of hers, and one particularly adapted to inventive variations. For large cookery collections.
