Colorful Carrot-Ginger Soup, sophisticated Shrimp Bisque,
hearty Irish Lamb Stew -- these time-honored soups and
stews are favorite dishes of nearly everyone. You will soon
master these classic recipes and many more with this book.
Williams-Sonoma Mastering Soups & Stews is a complete
cooking course in a single volume. The opening describes
the various types of soups -- clear soups, purees, cream
soups, chowders -- and stews you can create at home. You
will also learn about the basic ingredients you will need
to make them and how to cook, season, and serve them, from
readying your mise en place to adding a final swirl of
cream or sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Basic recipes and key techniques then illustrate dozens of
indispensable culinary building blocks, such as how to make
stocks or how to dice an onion or carrot 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 soups and stews as you go -- one of the most
valuable kitchen secrets any cook 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 will help
you stock what you need to make a great soup or stew every
time.
In these pages, you will discover more than fifty classic
recipes that tell you, in both pictures and words, how
every soup or stew you make should taste from beginning to
end. Whether you are a novice at the stove or an
experienced home cook, Mastering Soups & Stews will be a
source of kitchen wisdom that will make you feel like a
cooking teacher is always at your side.
