Strawberry Crostata
Adapted from David Katz's Original RecipeUsing Perfect Purees in a home kitchen is like discovering a old kept secret. The immediate thought is to use it for cocktails, but Perfect Purees aren't only for daiquiris. Many dishes start with a puree base. Soups, sauces, sorbets, marinades, glazes could also require a fruit of vegetable puree for a delicious flavor. Whether a chef is creating a dessert or meat sauce, a hot or cold soup, or looking for a unique flavor for a marinade, vinaigrette, or stuffing, purées are at the heart of many culinary creations. Creating quality purées is not a simple matter. Purées made from scratch can be inconsistent and time consuming. Locating raw ingredients out of season can be difficult, unreliable and therefore price prohibitive. The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley has strict quality control standards that allow chefs the freedom to provide creative cuisine all year long without compromise.
