Chef Jason Smith is back at it, providing you with more of his one-of-a-kind Country Bling recipes.
The Kentucky native, known for his glitzy wardrobe, colorful expressions, and award-winning recipes, is thrilled to present his second cookbook, which focuses on decadent confections, using eight ingredients or less.
he recipes in this book have been developed to encompass everything that makes a decadent dessert; whether you like sweet, salty, tart, savory, silky, crunchy, chewy, creamy, frozen, fried, or chilled; you are promised to have a lip-smackin’, eye-rollin’ experience with each recipe.
With all his accolades, he considers the privilege of sharing his love of food through his cookbooks to be his greatest accomplishment. In his second cookbook, he presents decadent desserts that use only 8 ingredients or less. The mouthwatering chapters include "Fire and Ice" (fried and frozen desserts), "Layered and Lush" (trifles and parfaits), "Ooey and Gooey" (bars and bakes), "Sugar and Spice" (cakes and cobblers), "Filled and Fabulous" (pies and tarts), and "Treats and Sweets" (cookies and candy).Recipe:
This dessert biscuits are just the easiest things! And the best part is you can use ANY fruit you have and make a filling for them. Feeling Fall? Add apples, cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. Feeling decadent? Use strawberries and drizzle the biscuits with a melted dark chocolate! The possibilities are endless, and the biscuits divine!
Review:
If you can get through this book without wanting to run to the kitchen and cook at least 4 of the recipes, you'll have me beat! I'm still salivating over the Bacon Bourbon Ice Cream Crunch that looks like to took hours to make, but is deceptively simple and EASY to make! Deep fried onion rings will be the bomb at your next tailgator (ass some bacon bits for even more unami!). The Hazelnut Cremepuff Wreath is coming to our holiday table and the Caramel bacon bar to Sunday dinner (because, come on, bacon...caramel...who doesn't love them put together?). His flourless brownies are ideal when you need a cholocately snack made from pantry ingredients, and the No make oatmeal bars will take you made to grandma's house. It's a collection for everybody's tastes!
Big applause for a full color photo for EVERY recipe- so there are no questions what each dessert should look like. Also love the tidbits about the ingredients, recipe, or concepts on every recipe, for a more personal touch! And yes, this is an ADULT cooking book, so alcohol is used in the recipes- and for just about all that it is, it is a necessary ingredient for the flavor each one brings. So do keep that in mind. This is a fun book to have on hand for interesting and easy desserts to wow your family and a crowd, and makes a fun hostess gift during the holiday season!About the Author:
