The Biker Gourmet Cooks at Home!

By Brian W. Dowsley

Have you ever picked up a gourmet magazine with a cover photo so appealing a rock would drool, only to open it and discover you'd never heard of half the ingredients? Or, have you noticed that cookbooks tend to come in two varieties: those with recipes easily prepared and agreeable to most, if not terribly inspiring; and those sure to impress even the most discriminating, but written as if you have a Cordon Bleu background and days if not weeks to invest? Finally, have you ever wondered what it would be like to cook a ham so tender it falls off your fork, prepare salmon teriyaki with sauce so rich and thick restaurateurs turn green with envy, or create a chocolate cheesecake the likes of which few mortals dare to imagine? Gourmet cook Brian Dowsley has thrilled and regaled family and guests for decades with four-star fare prepared in his own kitchen. He is one of those rare individuals who can taste something and reproduce it, or conceive a unique concept and experiment his way through to a dish sure to delight. His true hallmark, though, is the ability to simplify complex preparations and achieve superb results using common ingredients. Nearly thirty years in the making, The Biker Gourmet Cooks at Home is a collection of hundreds upon hundreds of recipes including such masterpieces as Duck in Cabernet Sauce, Beef with Blue Cheese, Chicken Supr?me, Lemon-Ginger Scallops in a Puff Pastry, Pork Steaks in Cream and Wine Sauce, Black Forest Cheesecake, Thick Crust Pizza, French Sourdough Bread and much more. Foreign cuisines of Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, India, North, Africa, Mexico, and Germany all have chapters as does the unique cuisine of Louisiana. Poultry, seafood, beef, pork, sauces, salads, pasta, vegetables, soups, stews, snacks, sweets, cr?pes, pizza, bread . . . this book has it all. And every recipe can be prepared in a standard kitchen with ingredients fairly easy to secure! He showed us how to prepare gourmet fare while camping with what could be brought in the saddlebags of a motorcycle in his acclaimed The Biker Gourmet's Chuck Wagon in a Saddlebag Cookbook and The Biker Gourmet's Seafood in a Saddlebag Cookbook. Now he shows how easy preparing four-star gourmet cuisine can be at home, when a full kitchen is available.
