Victor Scargle, Julia's Kitchen

 

Says Victor Scargle, "Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil is great because it adds body without competing with the flavors in a dish.  For example, a little drizzle with some verjus brings out the highlights in COPIA's own salad mix or with tuna tartare, the Chardonnay grapeseed oil adds a little acid to balance the richness of the tartare."

Hiroyuki Sakai

 

The famous Iron Chef Sakai has created variety of professional recipes with Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil, boasting that it is very useful for everything from fried and sautéed 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.
