Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Grapeseed Oil along with all the Grapeseed Oil containing recipes presented on this site, with 4 recipes in total.
This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Grapeseed Oil recipes added to this site.
These recipes, all contain Grapeseed Oil as a major wild food ingredient.
Grapeseed oil (also known as grape seed oil or grape oil) is a cooking oil extracted by pressing the seeds of grapes. It is a by-product of wine making and is therefore abundant and relatively cheap.
Good grapeseed oil has a vibrant green colour, quite a low viscosity (it is easy to pour) and a moderately-high smoke point of about 215°C. As a result it is well-suited for high temperature cooking and can be combined with olive oil to increase it's overall smoke point. It is a good oil for stir-frying, general frying or sautéing and deep frying.
Due to its easy pouring qualities and it's clean, light, taste it's a good ingredients for use in salad dressings and mayonnaise (indeed, if mixed with olive oil in mayonnaise it improves the flavour appreciably). It is also an excellent base for oil infusions and pestos.
I find that it has a pleasing fruity slightly fruity aroma and this makes it particularly useful in baking and I tend to substitute it for the sunflower oil recommended for making cakes (such as chocolate cakes and carrot cakes). It can be made even more suitable for making cakes by splitting a vanilla pod (bean) lengthways, putting it in a bottle of grapeseed oil and allowing to infuse. Mixed with butter it is also a good oil for frying pancakes and fritters.
Outside the realm of cookery, grape seed oil makes an excellent base for moisturizers, massage oils and aromatherapy oils.
