"...the most unique product I've seen in 25 years," says Russ Vernon, owner of the award-winning gourmet store West Point Market.
AKRON, OHIO -- April 16, 1997 -- New French classics produced by More Than Gourmet® enable home cooks to create elegant sauces that are the equivalent of those created by the world's finest chefs. In fact, these products are used by chefs in the world's finest four-star restaurants and hotels.
These same products are now available to the home gourmet. The home chef is no longer forced to use cheap, chemical-enhanced and salt-laden products, so they now are able to prepare meals quickly and easily with the same quality sauces as those prepared by the world's finest chefs. All products require no refrigeration until opened and offer a 1.5-year shelf life.
Demi-Glace Gold® is a classic, pure veal, French demi-glace that represents a revolutionary breakthrough for home cooks. It enables them to create silky-smooth demi-glace with all the great taste and body that's the equivalent of those created by the expert sauciers.
Creating a demi-glace, in the traditional manner of the legendary French master chef Escoffier, is a tedious process that involves browning veal bones, then slowly simmering them with selected vegetables in wine and water until substantial reduction has occurred. Creating a quart of demi-glace, for example, previously required about five pounds of veal bones that were then chopped, skimmed and strained in a careful process that consumed more than 25 hours of total cooking time. Constant attention and saucier-level skills were required during this preparation in order to prevent scorching the product.
Glace de Poulet Gold® is a 20-time reduction of classic French chicken stock, which requires the accomplished gourmet skills and more than 25 hours of simmering to achieve its deep roasted color and pure, intense flavors.
Glace de Poulet Gold can be used to create many classic French sauces by using it full-strength, when deglazing with wine in the roasting or sauté pan, or by diluting it with six parts of water to create a highly reduced stock for direct application in sauce preparations. For a classic chicken stock, one part Glace de Poulet Gold is simply added to 20 parts hot water.
In addition to being tremendous chicken stock, it can be used to enhance flavors in a wide variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, stir fry dishes, grilled items, marinades, etc. The home gourmet need only add a small amount of Glace de Poulet Gold to add tremendous natural flavor to any meal.
Veggie-Glace Gold® creates for the first time ever a true vegetarian (meatless) demi-glace substitute for your kitchen. Veggie-Glace Gold is made from the finest and freshest ingredients without chemicals, MSG, etc. As lifestyles are changing and people are eating more healthfully, the home gourmet is faced with an even greater challenge -- how to create dramatic, flavorful dishes that offer clean, fresh flavors while still being healthy and providing the body and appearance of those made with classical sauces.
Never before has it been possible to prepare classical sauces for those seeking light cooking or vegetarian entrees. Veggie-Glace Gold brings a new level of taste and flexibility to your kitchen. For example, you can make classic French sauces (i.e. Au Poivre, Wild Mushroom, etc.) by following those red wine reduction recipes using Veggie Glace Gold. Other flavorful variations can be created by adding other herbs, spices, wines, vinegars, mustards, etc., depending upon the intended use of the sauce: fine herbs such as chives, chervil, tarragon or parsley for dishes with a more classical flavor; a combination of lemon grass, tamarind and ginger would vary the flavor making the sauce appropriate for Asian cuisine; roasted garlic, shallots, tomatoes, peppers, etc. bring out classical Italian flavors and make beautiful pasta sauces.
Jus de Poulet Lie¢ Gold® is a classic French chicken stock bound with starch for sauces. Jus de Poulet Lie¢ Gold is a complement to More Than Gourmet's award winning Glace de Poulet Gold. Jus de Poulet Lie¢ Gold allows you to make all the classical lighter-colored chicken-based sauces without the added time and effort typically required to bind a roux into the finished sauce. It also has a more dominant chicken flavor and blonde color. Now you can make all the classics quickly and easily. It is also ideal for enhancing soups and binding a variety of fresh vegetable sauces.
