"This book explores the unsung ingredients - oils, vinegars, sauces, syrups, spices, and preserves-that anoint almost every dish we make. While professional chefs employ pantries filled with exciting powders, preserves, and cured products-like agar agar, dried lime, coconut nectar, black garlic, and dried shrimp-these modern accessories are often passed over by intimidated home cooks. The Modern Larder demystifies these pantry items, with over 200 delicious and wholesome recipes"-- Provided by publisher What is the Modern Larder? 1 INGREDIENTS 7 RECIPES 105 Snacks Starters + Small Meals 107 Breakfast All 143 Salads + Sides 165 Mains 231 Sweet Treats 295 Drinks 319 Foundations + Finishes 333 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 361 INDEX 362 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 376 Copyright
