Chile and Char: Tastes and Techniques for Full-Flavored Cooking by Dan Kluger

4.0

Thank you Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for a copy of Chasing Flavor by Dan Kluger for review,

This cookbook is perfect for more adventurous home cooks. Chasing Flavor has a lot of unique little twists on some common recipes but nothing too crazy. Just little things that elevate a meal. A few things that I really liked was he paired his main recipes with some sides as well, so each page was a complete plate that pairs well and compliments each other. Also, included with each recipe is a box that includes the author's takeaway, which was a little something that you could learn and use to then apply to other aspects or the way you can craft your own recipes leading out. I love when cookbook author's include ways to show you what they did to design a well rounded recipe, or a favourite ingredient to help the home cook not just enjoy the meals in their book but also use what they learned to expand their own creativity in the kitchen.
