Synopsis by Madeline Cavalieri

The Frugal Gourmet, with chef Jeff Smith, is an amazingly thorough video collection with over 80 episodes that includes food recipes from around the world. In each episode, Smith demonstrates several simple but important recipes. This episode offers delicious alternatives to bland low-salt, low-fat diet food. Recipes include Chicken with Apricot Glaze, Poached Fish with Cucumber and Dill Sauce, Mustard and Caper Sauce, Butter and Lecithin Mixture, and Mirapoix of Vegetables. Smith not only cooks, he also discusses the theological and anthropological histories of the dishes he prepares. He brings humor and wide-ranging knowledge into the kitchen.
