Vegetable Purees

We’ve always loved the intense flavor of vegetable purées. They magnify flavors so beautifully. When a vegetable is presented with its texture and sometimes its colors altered, we are forced to focus on its flavor. At the same time purées are rich, comforting, and undemanding, and they often also seem to us to be a bit more stylish, especially at a dinner party. Combinations can be exhilarating, and when two or three purées are presented on the same plate, complementing each other as well as the entrée, the effect is dazzling and often sparks comment. It’s time to make a sophisticated statement with your vegetables!
