Our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries.
We’re resuming last week’s truncated but provocative conversation about the benefits of butter versus margarine. Chefs clearly prefer to cook with butter and a little can go a long way in terms of adding extra flavor. Margarine is neutral in flavor and hydrogenated to create spreadability.
Andrew Gruel’s Family Cookbook (newly published) is also available with signed copies at his Calico Fish House on Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach.
