Grace Parisi is a senior test kitchen associate for Food and Wine magazine. She is the author of The Portlandia Cookbook; Cook Like a Local. Her book Get Saucy was nominated for a James Beard award for Best Single Subject Book of 2005. In the kitchen Grace is adept at all cuisines and is an expert baker and recipe developer. Given the choice between sweet and savory, her response is always, 'Yes, Please!' In her life outside the kitchen, Grace is a long distance runner, athlete, and an avid racer. She plays guitars, loves camping, gardening in her postage-stamp sized Brooklyn backyard and cooking for a crowd, including her husband and two children.
Parisi, senior associate of the Food & Wine test kitchen, presents 500 recipes for sauces and beyond: dressings, pestos, salsas, marinades, glazes, brines, and more. The dozens of tomato and other pasta sauces reflect her Italian American background, but her recipes come from all over the globe and include both classic and contemporary renditions. Lists of "10 Best Mayos for Potato Salad" and the like are scattered throughout, and lengthy indexes of the sauces by suggested use should inspire any cook looking for ideas. James A. Peterson's Sauces is a classic, but many home cooks are likely to find Parisi's book more accessible. For most collections. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
