Synopsis

Outstanding food and wine have long been an important part of the Hudson River Valley's allure for visitors. In this stunning culinary debut, Chef Waldy Malouf, the Executive Chef at New York's award-winning Hudson River Club, provides more than 200 recipes that range from the simple to the sophisticated. Together with food writer Molly Finn he showcases the incredible variety of wonderful raw materials available - from magnificent fruits and vegetables and homemade cheeses to game and free-range chickens. Other specialties of the valley are duck, bread, corn, black-dirt onions, wild mushrooms, delicate baby salad greens, and many varieties of potatoes. It is no surprise that a chef who has this rich array of local foods at his doorstep should be challenged to develop such fresh, innovative recipes.
Throughout The Hudson River Valley Cookbook you'll be guided by the expert voice of a top chef explaining the preparation of foods such as foie gras, shad, and venison as well as important basics like stocks, vinaigrettes, and other kitchen staples. In addition, you'll find seasonal menus that add depth to a highly original and sophisticated collection. With a mix of unique, classic, and historic dishes - this is American cuisine at its best.
