Condiments: make your own vinegar, harissa and hot sauce was released in Sweden in , but just recently it appeared here in Holland translated and today I have the pleasure to review the book. I also have chosen a super recipe. So simple yet so incredibly useful; your own homemade dehydrated veggie bouillon!
You probably, just like me, read on most packages in the store before you buy them. Probably you will be equally amazed at how much &#;crap&#; they tend to put in them. ready-made sauces and various condiments that at first glance may seem handy (and often can taste quite good), also surprisingly often contains different flavor enhancers and preservatives of different kinds.
What to do if you want to avoid it? Yes. Caroline Dafgård Widnersson took one year for roasting, fermenting, mixing and cooking to find the best and natural ways to make your own Asian sauces, vinegar, bouillon and herb mixes. Fortunately, we get to enjoy her hard work through her book Condiments.
Inspiring!

Condiments : g&#;r personlig vin&#;ger, harissa och hot sauce - inbunden, Svenska,
"För den såsom gått in för för att göra allt från grunden är detta en omistlig bok."
Allt angående Mat
Den denna plats boken handlar om hur du utför dina egna smaksättningar. ifrån sweet chili-sås och tacokrydda till pepprig amerikansk hot sauce samt het tunisisk harissa. ni gör dem själv hemma genom för att koka, blanda, mixa, jäsa och lagra. Vardagswoken blir godare tillsammans hemgjord oystersås, vinägretten roligare på hemkörd vinäger samt ostronen lyxigare med hemjäst hot sauce.
Att inte lägga någon omtanke på exempelvis ketchupen alternativt majonnäsen existerar egentligen lite konstigt då många idag lägger timmar på för att göra perfekta högrevsburgare tillsammans med briochebröd samt trippelfriterade pommes. Ungefär såsom att utföra sig osunt snygg inför en dejt och sen skita inom att borsta tänderna då man går hemifrån.
Boken existerar en hyllning till smaksättarna och ett guide mot hur ni lagar egna. Recepten existerar inte särskilt komplicerade. Några tar lite längre tidsperiod att utföra och andra innehåller lite ovanliga ingredienser. Men arbetsinsatsen är ofta liten samt belöningen existerar alltid större.
