Recipes.
Cooking all comes down to the recipes -- those
ingredient-by-ingredient, technique-by-technique, step-by-
step
instructions. In Recipes, Susan
Spungen, founding
food editor and editorial director for food at Martha
Stewart Living
Omnimedia for twelve years, presents her own easy,
unfettered ideas for
cooking simple food rich with freshness and flavors to
share with
family and friends. Recipes is organized by
technique,
explaining why sautéing is great for two or four but when
feeding a
crowd braising is the better choice. "Prepare" focuses on
the basics,
from making a vinaigrette to roasting garlic and
peppers. "Chop"
includes not just salads, but gazpacho and a Provençal
sandwich that
requires knife skills. "Sauté" explains how to pan-sear
fish and make a
layered omelet. "Grill" shows proper techniques for cooking
scallops,
asparagus, and steak over an open fire. "Roast" offers the
perfect
roast chicken and a roasted squash salad. "Bake" features a
variety of
pizzas as well as mushrooms baked in parchment
paper. "Simmer and
Braise" coaxes the most flavors from soups and lamb shanks.
Finally,
there's "Indulge," a selection of desserts from simple
brownies and
peach melba to a fruit crisp and a rich chocolate cake.
Susan believes that one of the most pleasurable parts of
a meal should be the making of it. Recipes
encourages home cooks to become confident cooks.
