520 An account of the modern history of butter includes tales
of the ancient butter bogs of Ireland, the pleasure
dairies of France, and the sacred butter sculptures of
Tibet.
520 "The delicious kitchen staple we so often take for granted
is not merely a stick tucked into our refrigerator door.
It's a culinary catalyst, an agent of change, a
gastronomic rock star. From its accidental invention in a
long-ago herder's pouch to its ubiquitous presence in the
world's most fabulous cuisines, butter is boss. Now, it
finally gets its due. Award-winning food writer and chef
Elaine Khosrova serves up a story as rich, textured, and
culturally relevant as butter itself. From the ancient
butter bogs of Ireland to the sacred butter sculptures of
Tibet, Butter is about so much more than food. Khosrova
details its surprisingly vital role in history, politics,
economics, nutrition, even spirituality and art. From its
humble agrarian origins to its present-day artisanal glory,
butter has a fascinating story to tell, and Khosrova is
the perfect person to tell it. She even includes the
essential collection of carefully developed core butter
recipes, from beurre manié and croissants to pâte brisée
and the perfect buttercream frosting, and provides
practical how-tos for making various types of butter at
home--no churning necessary"--|cProvided by publisher.
