Waffles: Sweet, Savory, Simple

by Dawn Yanagaihara, Lucy Schaeffer (Photographer)

Overview

Experience the tempting peaks and valleys of buttery, sweet and savory waffles. This collection of more than 30 mouthwatering recipes—plus a dozen toppings to sprinkle, spread, drizzle, and otherwise gild the waffle—includes childhood classics like the basic Buttermilk Waffle and elegant updates like Ham and Gruyère Waffle Tartines. Deliciously crunchy and light, these recipes are equally at home at the breakfast table, in a lunch box, or served formally at a dinner party. Doll them up with a drizzle of Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce, sprinkle with fines herbes, or dress them down (in the best possible way) with simple pure maple syrup—these delicately crisp, perfectly golden, and light as air treats are the ultimate in culinary versatility.

Editorial Reviews

Like Tara Duggan's Waffles: Fun Recipes for Every Meal and Dorie Greenspan's Waffles: From Morning to Midnight, this collection includes traditional (Buttermilk, Malted) and unusual (Amber Ale, Black Sesame) waffle variations for all courses. Some recipes, like Fried Chicken and Waffles with Bacon Gravy, are dressed-up creations with enough toppings to make a full meal. Each includes metric and U.S. measurements and helpful tips, like how to scale, freeze, reheat, or make ahead of time. VERDICT Though this book doesn't add much to the genre, it is thoughtfully executed and attractive.
