Library Journal Review
As organic produce and other artisan foods become more prevalent in the marketplace, the desire to obtain local, "real" dairy is likewise growing. After leaving public health services and relocating from New York City to Vermont, St. Clair established Animal Farm, a dairy farm that provides its products to the restaurants of chef Thomas Keller and to other establishments. St. Clair shares her love of fresh buttermilk by offering a wide array of recipes far beyond standard waffles and pancakes. Strawberry-peach buttermilk soup, shrimp and buttermilk grits, and mint-lemon buttermilk ice pops are among the dishes that readers will learn to prepare. Techniques for creating buttermilk at home (along with its side product, butter) are included, and each chapter contains anecdotes and information about St. Clair's farm and business. -VERDICT While more of a niche book, this volume is bound to please home cooks looking for ways to use buttermilk, as well as readers who enjoy culinary tales alongside their recipes.-Kristi Chadwick, Emily Williston Lib., Easthampton, MA (c) Copyright 2013.
