The famous Tetsujin (Iron Man)
Chef Sakai - French Cuisine Chef, also known as the
owner/chef of La
Rochelle Cuisine Francaise, Monsieur Hiroyuki
Sakai introduces professional recipes with Salute Santé!®
Grapeseed Oil.
Monsieur Sakai boasts that Salute Santé!®
Grapeseed Oil is very useful for everything from fried
and sauteed dishes, to cold dressings. He loves its characteristic
non-oiliness.
"I hope people try this high-quality oil at home.
I recommend using these oils as dressings, so that you
can enjoy the raw taste directly. It's tasty eating
with breads, too, instead of pasty butter," he
advised.
