Caprial's Bistro-Style Cuisine
Pence, chef/owner of Caprial's Bistro & Wine in Portland, OR, has a friendly, down-to-earth style that comes across in her books (Cooking with Caprial, LJ 2/15/96) as well as in her popular PBS television series. Here she offers more of her full-flavored, zesty dishes, from Pepper-Crusted Salmon with Green Sauce to Five-Spice Roasted Duck, including a selection of mouthwatering desserts. Well-written headnotes and sidebars provide lots of useful information on ingredients and techniques, suggestions for substitutions or variations, and helpful hints and tips.
