Gratins: Savory and Sweet Recipes from Oven to Table

A delicious and satisfying single-dish preparation best known for its bubbly, creamy interior and crunchy, golden topping, the versatile gratin can be savory or sweet, gourmet or homespun, a supporting player or the star of the meal. In GRATINS, author Tina Salter presents more than 50 gratin recipes for first courses, entrées, side dishes, and desserts, along with tips and techniques to make these upscale casseroles fun and easy to prepare. Combining a variety of sophisticated flavors and requiring relatively little prep time, the recipes in this sometimes surprising collection include such innovative preparations as Baked Chicken with Piccata Crumb Topping, Gratinéed Garlic Shrimp, and Pear-Pound Cake Gratin. And since no collection of gratins would be complete without a hearty helping of potato-based favorites, you?ll also find recipes such as Creamy Potato Gratin with Smoked Salmon and Chives, and Buttery Spinach and Potato Gratin. Offering a bold new twist on hot dishes, GRATINS is truly the upper crust of casserole cookbooks.
