Toppings

The topping makes the difference.

The principle of toppings is almost as old as cuisine itself. After all, the Parmesan on pasta and the fried onions on the hot dog are also toppings - only now too natural to be perceived as such.

The focus of this book, however, is on the sophisticated toppings that shine with taste, appearance and texture. And because wasting space is so unlike bestselling cookbook author Bettina Matthaei and her finely balanced recipes, she always serves toppings with exciting bases that are worthy of a cookbook in their own right. A treat for the taste buds!

The stars in the book are crispy crumbles, spicy gremolatas, crunchy chips and granolas, pestos and chutneys, ravishing foams, crusts and balsamic pearls, as well as flavored jelly cubes and effective jars of caramel. All these icing on the cake can be combined with countless, often simple everyday recipes. The sophisticated eye-catchers and exquisite textures are thereby often easier to make than you might expect, and ready in a few minutes.

A book for taste adventurers:inside, who have a desire for variety on the plate or simply want to perfect their recipes and cooking skills.
