(More customer reviews)Jung was right, there is synchronicity. Mary Cech's new cookbook: Savory Baking, couldn't have arrived at a better time, as I have been experimenting with savory waffles for the past few months (combinations like cornmeal carrot, cheddar dill, and others).
Historically, there has been a bit of a schism between those who love to cook and those who bake. Many years ago, chefs were prejudiced against bakers, believing that "real" cooks couldn't bake, and implying bakers were a step, or two, below chefs. As someone who has always loved all the culinary arts, I found this annoying, to say the least. Ms. Cech has bridged the gap with an interesting collection of savory items to tempt the most baking-averse soul.
Some of her offerings include Peppered Pear and Goat Cheese Scones, Sour Cream Fig Spiral Cookies, Onion, Fennel, and Orange Upside Down Shortcake, and a slew of other creative concoctions to surprise your senses. The photographs are accurate looking, not over-the-top visuals you'll never achieve at home; and, there are plenty of them to inspire you.
Confetti Corn Bread Crusted Creole Shrimp is another little beauty that looked fairly easy to make. Her Fingerling Potato and Crispy Bacon Pizzas use phyllo dough to simplify things. Sharp Cheddar and Cherry Muffins were just lovely and quick to put together.
There's something here for everyone who likes savory food, including a whole section on fillings, spreads, dips, relishes, sauces, and chutney.
