Understand the basics of stocking the store cupboard, choosing
equipment, menu planning, budgeting, hygiene and food preparation,
as well as simple presentation skills. A comprehensive ingredients
section at the start of each chapter provides all you need to know
about buying, storing and preparing different food types. This
title includes familiar and filling recipes for everyday and easy
entertaining such as seafood chowder, chicken fajitas, and lemon
surprise pudding. The recipe section is organised by food group
with chapters on eggs, vegetables, pasta, rice, grains and beans,
fish and shellfish, poultry, meat, and pastry plus a final chapter
on desserts and baking. An at a glance nutritional guide tells you
how much fat, sugar, protein, carbohydrate, cholesterol and
calories are in each portion. Every chapter in this helpful new
book discusses the nutritional value of each food type and includes
key information about choosing, buying and the different ways of
preparing them. The 150 recipes have been selected to teach a wide
range of key skills and include everyday tasty favourites that will
help build the cook's basic skill repertoire such as fish pie,
Irish stew and basic risotto. Each recipe contains minimal
ingredients, and all the techniques are thoroughly explained and
illustrated with step-by-step photographs. There are hundreds of
cook's tips scattered throughout along with plenty of suggestions
for varying the ingredient to suit individual tastes. There is even
information on what to do when things go wrong. Serving suggestions
help the reader make sensible choices about which foods to serve
together.
