Sampler-size Starters are the Focus of Mustards Grill Cindy Pawlcyn's New Cookbook
Visitors to Napa Valley have either been to or heard of Mustards Grill, the long standing Napa Valley restaurant started by Cindy Pawlcyn over 20 years ago. Big Small Plates is her new book featuring over 150 recipes of Pawlcyn's sampler-size starter dishes. eCookbooks writes:
Cindy Pawlcyn, of Mustards Grill fame and the author of the acclaimed Mustards Grill Napa Valley Cookbook does it again. Big Small Plates is here, and what a joy it is. Customers of Mustards Grill have long been making meals of the sampler-size starters, the premise of this book. Here are generously scaled recipes with less fuss and more flavor than traditional appetizers. And, to whet your whistle, the recipe for Grilled "Street" Corn appears below. Also in this week, James Oseland's Cradle of Flavor. Home Cooking from the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Oseland is the executive editor of Saveur, and his book is infused with not only the recipes of the region, but with a writing style that joyously invites you to celebrate the food, the region, and the people.
