Flavored Butters How to Make Them, Shape

Lucy Vaserfirer's Flavored Butters offers 50 recipes and techniques for delectable homemade flavored butters, covering both sweet and savory applications.

Flavored butters, also called compound butters, have a multitude of uses. They make a plain baguette or artisan loaf come alive with flavor; they complement a hearty breakfast muffin or delicate scone; they serve as quick-fix sauces for a piece of fish, meat, or a bowl of pasta; and they brighten an artichoke or a serving of green beans in surprising ways. We often see flavored butters as an elegant touch to bread service in restaurants, but there are plenty more varieties and uses that are easy for home cooks to use in their kitchens as well.

The recipes are amazingly quick to execute in the kitchen and transformative in the flavor they impart, and each recipe has advice about what the butter is best used on. Enhance your meals with:

Shallot-Herb Butter
Rosemary–Roasted Garlic Butter
Mint Butter
Caramelized Onion Butter
Chipotle Butter
Kimchi Butter
Orange-Honey Butter
Salted Caramel Butter
Rose-Berry Butter
Hazelnut Praline Butter
And many more

In addition to the recipes, there are plenty of photographs to illustrate, and ample tips and tricks, like the perfect temperature at which to serve the butters, how to serve, and the tools needed for making stunning presentations with flavored butters.

Add alluring flavors to your everyday meals with these delightful homemade butters.
