Cooking Fearlessly: Recipes and Other Adventures from Hudson's on the Bend

Combine wild ingredients and a disregard for the ordinary with a little chemistry in the kitchen, and you get the COOKING FEARLESSLY philosophy—a no-holds-barred approach to cooking that is pure Texas and a helluva good time. At Hudson's on the Bend restaurant outside of Austin, chefs Jeff Blank and Jay Moore preach and practice an adventurous cuisine as big and robust as the Lone Star State. Fish and game reign supreme, both on the grill, in the sauté pan, and out of the iron skillet, and they're finished with sauces, salsas, and glazes that'll electrify your palate and change your worldview. With Jeff and Jay at the helm, you'll sit down to daring dishes like Toasted Piñon-Coriander-Crusted Goat Cheese on Garden Greens; Rattlesnake Cakes in a Pistachio Nut Crust; and Smoked Rainbow Trout with Nopalitos, Smoked Bacon, and Apple Jack Sauce. So stick around—the feast is only just getting started.• Hudson's on the Bend was named one of the "Top 50 Restaurants in America" by Mimi Sheraton of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.• Lavishly illustrated throughout with the work of Saveur photographer Laurie Smith., ISBN13: 9780967232300 ISBN10: 0967232309 Material Type: hardcover
