Dean &amp; DeLuca products are sold through its 14 shops and cafes in New York, Washington, D.C., Napa Valley, Charlotte, and Kansas City. It has a consumer and corporate gift catalogue, and an internet shopping site, deandeluca.com. Dean &amp; Deluca also market its own-label products to other retailers and wholesalers throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>David Rosengarten (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/david-rosengarten-global-gourmet\/\"><strong>my interview with him<\/strong><\/a>) has produced this weighty tome of a cookbook to complement Dean &amp; Deluca products. Now, my American audience is leafing through the phone book to find the nearest store or considering an internet purchase. Their store in SoHo, New York, is a must-see for any visiting foodie, but listen, my European readers, this book is packed with lovely deli-type recipes that you can use without buying a trans-Atlantic ticket.<\/p>\n<p>The recipes are international so they will be interesting to anyone with access to a good grocers with a deli section.\u00a0 There are plenty of descriptions about ingredients and histories but I feel that this is more of a recipe book than a food encyclopaedia.<\/p>\n<p>David has a conversational style of writing that is witty and informative. There is a strong North American bias, as you would expect, but the text is relevant to the European reader and there are very few products that would be either unfamiliar or unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Mussels and Chorizo in Saffron-Garlic Broth is an example of a truly delicious and international recipe but all the ingredients are readily available in the UK High Street. As David Rosengarten is a lover of all thing French (food, that is) he has a good selection of classic French recipes, but he manages to slip in a few good ol\u2019 American favourites like Buffalo Wings and Louisiana Red Beans and Rice.<\/p>\n<p>The Dean &amp; Deluca Cookbook is for the more serious cooks. It doesn\u2019t have a lot of pictures \u2013 in fact it has none \u2013 but its recipes are broad-based and well-chosen to give balance and interest to this well-written volume.<\/p>\n<p>The Dean &amp; Deluca Cookbook<br \/>\nAuthor: David Rosengarten<br \/>\nPublished by: Ebury<br \/>\nPrice: \u00a317.50<br \/>\nISBN 009186956-0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Cookbook review by Chrissie Walker \u00a9 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in 1977 by Joel Dean, Giorgio DeLuca and Jack Ceglic with the opening of its flagship store in SoHo, New York, Dean &amp; Deluca quickly grew into a retailer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"tags":[14,162,574,1107],"class_list":["post-3514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-cookbooks","tag-american","tag-celebrity-chefs","tag-david-rosengarten","tag-dean-and-deluca-cookbook"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3514"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26042,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions\/26042"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
