SUMMARY:
Known, used and appreciated for centuries, essential oils were until now confined to an essentially therapeutic role. But, to the delight of gourmets and gourmands, they are now invading a new space: our kitchens!
One of the main attractions of cooking with essential oils is its undeniable originality. Essential oils bring a new dimension to modern cooking in the tastiest and noblest way possible. However, this is not its only appeal.
Integrated into a multitude of savory or sweet preparations, essential oils are part of a healthy lifestyle, where “eating well” and well-being go hand in hand. Added to a soup, a hot or cold starter, a meat preparation, a fish dish or even a dessert, essential oils provide gourmets and gourmands with all the benefits of their active ingredients, and best of all, without any caloric impact on the balance.
Through a wealth of relevant information and nearly fifty varied recipes, this book opens up a new gourmet horizon: that of surprising yet delicious cooking with essential oils. A kitchen that allows “doing good with good”!
