Reviews

Vermont conjures up images of the Green Mountains and of maple syrup. It's also become known as the haunt of Ben and Jerry. Chef Stephen Schimoler went to visit that ice cream factory and stayed on in Waterbury to create a now-famous restaurant called the Mist Grill. As described in his cookbook, The Mist Grill, Schimoler feels none too constrained by narrow New England traditions. His idea of mashed potatoes calls for three kinds of potatoes, onions, garlic, and a healthy slab of Gorgonzola for enrichment. Pork shanks and kraut take advantage of native apple cider to sweeten the cured cabbage. Maple syrup does put in an appearance as a glaze for roast chicken. He transforms France's famous dessert, Tarte Tatin, into a savory dish of wild mushrooms in puff pastry topped with truffle oil. He offers another rendition with shrimp. Desserts include maple creme brulee and gingerbread bomb, a kitchen accident raised to the status of customer favorite. Regional collections will want to add this unique New England cookbook.
