Book Reviews of the Braise: A Journey Through International Cuisine
Customer Review: Heavy recipes with difficult-to-find ingredients
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought "Braise" because I was in the mood to spend a few days hunting down quirky ingredients, and the recipes sounded good. The ingredients were indeed quirky---pomegranate molasses, anyone?---but the recipes didn't end up being worth the effort and cost. Boulud does a lot of variations on braised beef and sweet potatoes, which, I now know, makes for one heck of a heavy meal. I made the beef and sweet potatoes braised in cherries and Guinness, and it was an overly sweet, heavy, fatty disaster. Several other recipes turned out much the same way.
The poultry recipes were better. The Lapin Dijonnaise was fantastic, and when I made it again with chicken thighs, it was even more flavorful.
All in all, I'd say this will not be one of my favorite cookbooks, even though I love braising. The recipes are too complicated, too costly, and not worth the trouble.
