Synopsis
This is the book that everyone who buys food and cooks it needs to have. It contains all the information you could ever want on recognizing and selecting fresh food in the shops and how to deal with it and use it when you get it home.
This stunning visual reference of raw ingredients includes common and exotic food from fish, meat, poultry and game, eggs, dairy products, fats and oils, grains and pastas, vegetables, fruit and nuts, and herbs and spices. And not only does it show how to recognize what you want with clear full-colour artwork, it also includes detailed step-by-step sections on preparation from trimming, skinning, boning and filleting, to coping with shellfish, stuffing, cleaning, jointing, trussing and even plucking.
This superb cookbook is designed to widen the cook's horizons and to stimulate a real understanding of food together with a thorough knowledge of how to buy it and how to enjoy experimenting with new foods and flavours.
