About Bluestem: The Cookbook
Product Description Garrelts, Colby From Booklist Kansas City’s Bluestem sets a standard for contemporary dining on the nation’s Great Plains. With ready access to some of America’s prime agricultural land, Kansas City offers proving grounds for chefs who want to practice their craft using locally sourced meats and vegetables. This husband-and-wife team has documented their mastery of urbane, sophisticated cooking by following the year’s seasons. Veal with ramps and morels evokes the flavors of spring’s first produce. From summer’s bounty appears a refreshing sorbet of mulberries, a staining tree fruit typically scavenged by birds or simply neglected and allowed to fall to earth. Fall’s harvest features flavorful game such as pheasant with a savory pumpernickel bread pudding. The Garreltses are not averse to bringing fresh seafood from the coasts to contribute lightness and variety. Even skilled home cooks will find these restaurant recipes challenging. Especially for regional collections. --Mark Knoblauch About the Author Colby and Megan Garrelts met in the kitchen of Chicago's TRU, where they worked for chefs Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand.
