Nuts: Sweet and Savory Recipes

When the people at Diamond of California, the world"™s leading marketer of nuts, decided to create a cookbook, they scoured their archives, developed dozens of new recipes, and turned to some of America"™s best loved chefs, cooking teachers, and food writers for more. The result is Nuts, a collection of more than 100 recipes complemented by lavish color photography and hints and tips to help make the dishes easier and more fun to prepare. You"™ll find classic comfort food, like Farmhouse Chicken Stew with Buttermilk-Walnut Dumplings; no-stress show-stoppers for entertaining, like Seared Scallop Salad with Grapefruit, Endive, and Walnuts; and, of course, plenty of cookies, cakes, desserts, breads, and quickbreads, from an inventive Macaroon Nut Tart to sumptuous Blueberry-Almond Bread Pudding.
