Giveaway Bitter - Recipe Book

Friday, 1 May 2015 - 32 comments
Another lovely book published by Jacqui Small titled Bitter written by Jennifer McLagan; exploring the complex world of this under-appreciated flavour, Bitter takes readers on a journey through the spectrum of bitterness, using ingredients such as grapefruit and citrus zests, chicory, chocolate, beer and tobacco.  


The book is divided into different categories such as greens, liquids, vegetables and fruits and also looks at surprisingly bitter, dark and very bitter foods; what do coffee, IPA beer, dark chocolate, and radicchio all have in common?  They’re bitter.

While some culinary cultures, such as in Italy and parts of Asia, have an inherent appreciation for bitter flavors (think Campari and Chinese bitter melon), little attention has been given to bitterness in North America: we’re much more likely to reach for salty or sweet.
However, with a surge in the popularity of craft beers; dark chocolate; coffee; greens like arugula, dandelion, radicchio, and frisée; high-quality olive oil; and cocktails made with Campari and absinthe - all foods and drinks with elements of bitterness - bitter is finally getting its due.

    I have to say that I love the bitter tang of some greens and brassicas, especially cauliflower - yum!

    Lemon! I never really like it before I became pregnant with my eldest daughter - then I craved it! lemon curd, lemon cheese cake, lemon mouse, lemon bonbons.....! I craved lemons with my youngest daughter too! With my boys I craved sweet cherry tomatoes after having never eaten them before too!! So I was a sweet craver with my boys and a sour craver with my girls! I still love lemons and cherry tomatoes!

    I love lime pickle. I can eat it straight out of the jar (which really disgusts everyone I know!).

    I love lemons in everything - it is so versatile. it's great on salads, cheesecakes, muffins, in fact any type of pudding. I love it drizzled on olives and my children love Lemon curd sandwiches.
