Miraval Resort and Spa Chef’s Justin and Kim Macy have
collaborated on a cookbook with delicious recipes to be created at home. The
foreward is penned by Michael Tompkins, CEO, Miraval Resort and Spa, “…a sweet
and savory balance between the chefs on a personal level, too…Justin Cline Macy
is Miraval’s executive chef, and Kim Macy is the pastry chef—and they’re
husband and wife.”He also states, “Justin looks for ways to reduce added
oil,…..Kim chooses to use smaller amounts of rich ingredients…”
The Chefs give their secret ingredients they like to use.
Kim, “fresh seasonal berries”, and Justin, “Miraval’s balsamic reduction.” They belive some of the best equipment used
in any kitchen is: blenders, coffee griners, cutting boards, fine mesh
strainers and fish spatula to name a few. Their recipe book is divided into six
sections with delectable sounding dishes. I picked a few recipes from each section:
Kim’s Breakfast Treats, Quick Breads, and Yeast Breads:
Rosemary, Garlic, and Honey Focaccia; Lemon-Glazed Blueberry Scones
Justin’s Soups, Salads, and Appetizers: Scallops with
Lemon Vinaigrette and Frisee; Roasted Baby Beet Salad with Honey Mustard
Dressing
Justin’s Main Dishes: Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts
with Fresh Fruit Salsa; Sear Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Chipotle Sauce
Miraval Basics, Accents, and Side Dishes:
Balsamic-Onion Relish; Parmesan-Sage Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Kim’s Cookies, Bars, and Baked Goods: Coconut Lime
Bars; Mint Chocolate Macaroons
Kim’s Cakes, Custards, and Other Desserts: Tiramisu
Torte; Low-Fat Lemon-Buttermilk Pound Cake; Meringue Tartlet Crusts
I recommend this cookbook for everyone who loves to cook.
This would be a great addition to enhance your culinary skills.
I received this book
free from Hay House Publications for this review.
