About this title

Synopsis

This humorous cookbook contains every mince (that's ground beef for us Americans) preparation one could imagine even plenty of vegetarian mince! From simple classics to the gourmet and the absurd, it's really mincey.


In the days before low-fat this and zero-calorie that, and in an era when obesity only showed itself in the occasional family who where a little on the big-boned side, generations ate in moderation and where happily brought up on traditional home-cooked family food and handed-down recipes. Of all these staples, it was mince that was both one of the most accessible and one of the most popular dishes that millions never grew tired of. It kept the nation fit, healthy and full.

Contents include:

The History of Mince
The Magic of Mince
Good Old-fashioned Mince
Mince for Every Occasion
Burger Me! It's Mince Again
Mince Around the World

Review

'Best-selling chefs Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver have a new rival - The Complete Book of Mince - so mum's treat has gone all posh, and Rene proves mince is fit for a prince.' The Sun 2/9/08 'A veritable feast of mince recipes by up and coming celebrity chef Rene La Sagne.' Evening Telegraph, Dundee 29/9/08 'Scattered throughout the book are tips, observations and commentary on mince's history and restaurant etiquette. A funny, brave, new cookery book from not-yet-celebrity chef Rene La Sagne, the self-styled Prince of Mince. This book might put your taste buds into overdrive.' The Weekly News, 27 September 2008 'Many recipes and amusing facts about mince' The Daily Record 20/9/08 'Beefy good humour, - (it) features 72 essential recipes from good-old fashioned mince and tatties to gourmet meals. The book is a beefy barrel of laughs - full of amazing new ways of serving an old Scottish favourite.' The Sunday Post, 28/9/08 'Apart from the recipes, which are truly mince magic, the book overflows with useful dining tips. It proves mum was years ahead of her time and I am sure that before long La Sagne's name will be up there with Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, and Heston Blumenthal in the league of celebrity chefs. It is rare to find a chef who mixes the wisdom of Confucius with the culinary nous of Rab C Nesbitt. This is a brilliant new book. Thank you Waverley for brightening my day.'
