Cooks&Books&Recipes Editors {Dee}, on Haute Dogs:
Like most other kids, I had a limited number of items I would eat before the age of 15 or so: bologna sandwiches, grilled cheese, and hot dogs. I loved hot dogs. And I still do! Granted, my tastes may have become a bit more sophisticated regarding the quality of the dog (all-beef, Italian sausage, bratwurst/knackwurst), but I admit that I still crave my childhood favorite (Oscar Mayer). Whereas I was a purist as a kid (bun and ketchup only), these days I will even add toppings! And toppings there are in this cookbook, with chapters including American classics (e.g., The Chicago Dog), modern American dogs (e.g., Texas BBQ Dog), South and Central American dogs (e.g., Ecuadorian Street Dog), European, African, and Asian dogs (e.g., German Three-in-a-Bun), along with “Buns and Batters” and “Condiments, Sauces, and Toppings.” Another chapter explains how to make your own dog/sausage/wiener/frankfurter. My husband asked me to be sure to keep this cookbook specifically for the one-page shopping/mail-order sources at the end. Van Kraayenburg even gives the history of the hot dog and details various cooking methods: microwave, open flame, grill (or broil), flattop (or panfry), deep-fry, simmer or boil, roast, roller, steam, barbeque (or smoke). Fess up: you had no idea there were that many ways to cook a hot dog, right?
Whether you prefer hot dogs or haute dogs, this is the only cookbook you need on the subject.
