Savory Spaghetti Carbonara tossed with bits of pancetta,
Spinach Lasagna layered with a long-simmered ragù, Gnocchi
Gratin crowned with cheese and bread crumbs, sweet-and-
spicy Thai noodles -- these are among the classic pasta,
noodle, and dumpling recipes you will soon master with this
book.
Williams-Sonoma Mastering Pasta, Noodles & Dumplings is a
complete cooking course in a single volume. The opening
describes the different types of fresh and dried pastas,
dumplings, and Asian noodles available and the ingredients
used to make them. You will also learn how to cook, season,
and serve pasta, from reading your mise en place to adding
restaurant-style finishing touches.
Basic recipes and key techniques then illustrate dozens
indispensable culinary building blocks, such as how to
judge when a pasta dough is mixed just right or how to dice
an onion with ease. Troubleshooting tips show you what can
go wrong and how to fix it without having to start all over
again. Next the master recipes lead you step-by-step, with
friendly text and instructive photographs, through every
stage of preparation. These recipes include helpful advice
other cookbooks assume you already know, and explain how to
taste and season a dish as you go -- one of the most
valuable kitchen secrets you can learn. The shorter recipes
and variations in each chapter encourage you to continue
practicing your newfound skills, building your repertory
and your confidence at the same time. Finally, a guide to
equipment and a glossary of ingredients round out your
comprehensive pasta-making course.
In these pages, you will discover more than fifty classic
recipes that tell you, in both pictures and words, how
every dish you make should look and taste from beginning to
end. Whether you are an aspiring novice or an accomplished
home cook, Mastering Pasta, Noodles, and Dumplings is an
invaluable source for the tricks, tips, and insider
knowledge that, until now, you could learn only in cooking
class.
