What to Cook (and How to Cook it) is the ultimate cookbook
for beginners, showing how to cook easy, delicious meals for
every day of the week. With a winning combination of clear
step-by step-photographs, and authoritative, foolproof
recipes, it takes 100 favorite everyday dishes and guides
the reader through every step of the cooking process with
recipes that absolutely anyone can follow. Each ingredient and stage of the cooking process is
illustrated with a clear color photograph, and the striking,
simple design will encourage anyone who lacks confidence at
cooking to have a go at producing nutritious, home-cooked
food for their family and friends. Every step is clearly
explained, with no prior knowledge taken for granted. Even
common terms such as 'finely chopped' are explained in an
illustrated glossary. The recipes, written by a highly experienced food writer
with years of expertise in creating simple, foolproof
recipes, have each been tested several times to ensure that
it is easy to follow. Additional hints and tips are provided
on how to choose ingredients, how to rescue a recipe if
things go wrong, and how to adapt the dish with different
ingredients. Unlike most beginners' cookbooks, this one does
not attempt to teach techniques, such as pastry and bread
making: it focuses purely on creating straightforward,
enjoyable meals that are easy to cook. The recipes are extremely practical, using ingredients
available in any market or supermarket, do not require
specialist equipment, and are economical and nutritious. To
make it simple to decide what to cook, the recipes are
divided into chapters on breakfasts and brunches, light
weekday meals and lunches, dishes for sharing, quick and
easy suppers, weekend main meals that take longer to cook,
and desserts and baking. What to Cook will equip any novice cook with a repertoire of
simple, crowd-friendly dishes that they can cook to
perfection with confidence.
