“Through her recipes, devoted entirely to what she describes as the ‘elixir of the human race,’ Diane draws you into the rhythms of life on a farm.” —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry
For anyone who’s enjoying a return to real food, true buttermilk remains one of the great, undiscovered pleasures. Many people enjoy organic produce, grass-fed meats, and artisan breads, but “real” dairy has been slower to reach a wide market. In fact, dairy products have long been pasteurized and homogenized into bland tastelessness, with no regard to where the product came from or how it was made.
On Animal Farm in Orwell, Vermont, Diane St. Clair takes butter and buttermilk production to a new level. The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook explains her techniques, from animal husbandry and land management, to her creamery processes. Here you’ll learn how to make your own butter and buttermilk at home, and then experiment with the fabulous ways in which buttermilk enhances food flavors and textures.
You’ll also find practical but unique recipes for using buttermilk—everything from buttermilk doughnuts dipped in maple syrup, to salmon chowder, buttermilk ricotta gnocchi, and harissa buttermilk salad dressing. Families will love the buttermilk béchamel pizza, the spicy buttermilk gingerbread, and pork chops smothered in buttermilk sauce. Buttermilk is not just for waffles anymore—although the best waffle recipe you’ll ever find is in this book!
“This book beautifully shares both her life as a dairy farmer and artisan, and many of her incredible recipes, and will have you seeking out great buttermilk to cook and bake all year round.” —Barbara Lynch, James Beard Award–winning chef

      As organic produce and other artisan foods become more prevalent in the marketplace, the desire to obtain local, "real" dairy is likewise growing. After leaving public health services and relocating from New York City to Vermont, St. Clair established Animal Farm, a dairy farm that provides its products to the restaurants of chef Thomas Keller and to other establishments. St. Clair shares her love of fresh buttermilk by offering a wide array of recipes far beyond standard waffles and pancakes. Strawberry-peach buttermilk soup, shrimp and buttermilk grits, and mint-lemon buttermilk ice pops are among the dishes that readers will learn to prepare. Techniques for creating buttermilk at home (along with its side product, butter) are included, and each chapter contains anecdotes and information about St. Clair's farm and business. VERDICT While more of a niche book, this volume is bound to please home cooks looking for ways to use buttermilk, as well as readers who enjoy culinary tales alongside their recipes.--Kristi Chadwick, Emily Williston Lib., Easthampton, MA
