Recommended by Booklist (the American Library Association): "This is a handy book for beginners in life's approach to cooking and household maintenance. the back cover says, "This book tells you what you should have learned from your mother but never did." Too true among many younger persons today (and mostly their own fault). These basic preparations are in narrative style (a good format to set the novice at ease and install confidence), and economy and leftovers are emphasized. For instance, there is a good bread pudding recipe with ideas for variations. The 25 pages devoted to the house concern mainly clothes (sewing, ironing, washing, maintenance) and floors. 250 basic recipes plus variations - recommended" - Booklist (American Library Association review medium)
Technique is all about cooking good food and "Kitchen University" is all about technique. It is simply the best "How To" Cookbook there is, without exception. "Kitchen University" was written with a "How To" philosophy, putting the accent of the book on techniques rather than over-done recipes or hard to find ingredients. Using this book will teach you how to cook, rather than teaching you how to read a recipe. Most cookbooks find a home on a coffee table or on a bookshelf, "Kitchen University" will find it's home in your kitchen, along side your Chef's knife, peeler or paring knife as perhaps the most important and useful kitchen utensil you own.

'It would be disingenuous to the animal not to make the most of the whole beast; there is a set of delights, textural and flavoursome, which lie beyond the fillet.'
