As a self-taught chef and creator of The Amateur Gourmet
website, Adam Roberts knows the challenges you face in
bringing fresh, creative homemade meals to the table
without burning down the house or bruising your self-
esteem. But as he shows in this exciting new book, the
effort is worth it and good eating doesn’t have to be
difficult. To prove his point, Roberts has assembled a
five-star lineup of some of the food world’s most eminent
authorities for your culinary education. In this
illuminating and hilarious “Kitchen 101,” Adam Roberts
teaches you how to bring good food into your life. Learn
the “Ten Commandments of Dining Out” courtesy of Ruth
Reichl, editor in chief of Gourmet magazine.
Discover why the New York Times’s Amanda Hesser
urges you never to bring a grocery list to the market. Get
knife lessons from a top sous-chef at Manhattan’s famous
Union Square Cafe, and accompany the intrepid author as he
dines alone at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in
Paris.
From how to chop an onion to how to cook a
seven-course meal that dazzles your friends, Roberts
shares the skills you need to overcome your food phobias,
impress your parents, woo a date, and create sophisticated
dishes with everyday ease.
Packed with recipes,
menus plans, shopping tips, and anecdotes, The Amateur
Gourmet provides you with all the ingredients for the
foodie lifestyle. All you need is a healthy appetite and a
taste for adventure!
