Synopsis

Tout Hach?: meat chopped, minced or ground - but not only meat. Many countries have a fine tradition of mixing and binding an array of ingredients to create simple but delicious dishes, whether chopped up finely as tartare, fashioned into burgers or rolled into meatballs, boulettes or dumplings. Borrowing from such global culinary heritage and inspired by the popularity of street food and New York-style delicatessens, the team behind Caf? Moderne in Paris reinvents in Tout Hach? the modest meatball in a surprising number of variations. Here you'll find appealing recipes using beef and lamb, of course, but also tuna, salmon and prawns. Discover such aromatic combinations as Veal Boulettes with Herbs, Chicken Boulettes with Sesame, Lebanese-style Steak Tartare, Tartare of Shrimp, Mango and Coconut Milk, and - for those with an even sweeter tooth - Chocolate Coconut Truffles. Proving that there's more to meatballs than tomato sauce, this stylish collection of over 30 recipes also features a variety of sauces and accompaniments, including creamed polenta, classic frites and mixed fried vegetables.

PREFACE

Three cooking aficionados, Thierry, Lucile and Ahmed, are the brains behind the Cafe Moderne in Paris. There, in their vintage-style restaurant, they gathered together all their culinary know-how and their passion for food. After studying haute cuisine, Thierry came across Ahmed and Lucile, who were heavily influenced by New York street food. When the two of them had returned to France from America, their heads were full of the latest American culinary ideas, including the great American meatball - which turned out to be the same as any traditional meatball. Meatballs are popular, easy to make and are part of the cuisine of almost every country of the world. Often though, they can be pretty basic; think meatballs with tomato sauce and pasta, or the meatballs served up in the cafeterias of a certain well-known Swedish furniture company . .. Inspired by the Cafe Moderne menu, this book sets about restoring the meatball to its former glory, alongside tartares and burgers, which all share a common ancestry. But this isn't the whole story; be prepared for a few surprises along the way. Exciting and exotic combinations of meat, fish and vegetables with spices, herbs and seasonings, lie at the heart of each recipe. And what would a tartare, burger or meatball be without its sauce? This book includes an array of delicious sauces and accompaniments that you can combine with any dish you fancy. Like the Cafe Moderne, the recipes in this book could be described as "Paris and New York's love child. "
