Cooking Techniques and Recipes with Olive Oil Review

If you are anything like me, I have been trying to cook more healthfully which includes healthful oils.   When I was offered the opportunity to review a cookbook all about Recipes with Olive Oil, I thought what could be better?

How often have you been at the store looking a bottles of olive oil and not know which one to buy? How many times have wished you had more uses for that expensive extra virgin oil you purchased other than a salad dressing or sautéing up a quick dish? COOKING TECHNIQUES AND RECIPES WITH OLIVE OIL by Mary Platis and Laura Bashar, provides the answers.  You will get easy yet detailed techniques for poaching, braising, marinating, infusing, and baking with olive oil along with conversion charts and references.
