Dip into the world of butter, from its to history to its present, and learn about how to make it, how to use it, and most importantly, how to enjoy it. A book for butter lovers, whether they want to learn about how it came to be, how it's produced today, or how to make their own basic, infused, and flavored butters at home. The Butter Cookbook's 70 recipes elevate the basic dairy product to a recipe-transforming ingredient while educating readers on everything there is to know this kitchen staple. Monica Cavarzan shares her expertise with readers from a childhood spent growing up on a dairy farm and her time spent running Lard Ass, a producer of cultured butter in regional Australia. An expert on how to make good butter great, her first book contains a lifetime of knowledge collected across Australia, France, and the United States. Churn your way through the book and indulge in this deep dive into all things butter.
