Book description
The Guardian's 'How to Make' food columnist Felicity Cloake
is on a mission to find the perfect recipes for staple dishes, from
spag bol to apple pie and from brownies to fish pie, in her first
cookbook Perfect - 68 essential reciepes for every cook's
repertoire.
How can I make deliciously squidgy chocolate brownies? Is there a
foolproof way to poach an egg? Does washing mushrooms really spoil
them? What's the secret of perfect pastry? Could a glass of milk
turn a good Bolognese into a great one?
Perfect will answer all these questions and many, many more.
Having rigorously tried and tested recipes from all the greats - from
Elizabeth David and Delia Smith to Nigel Slater and Simon Hopkinson -
Felicity Cloake has pulled together the best points from each to
create the perfect version of 68 classic dishes. Never again will you
have to rifle through countless different books to find the your
perfect roast chicken recipe, mayonnaise method or that incredible
tomato sauce - it's all here in this book, based on Felicity's popular
Guardian column, along with dozens of invaluable prepping and
cooking tips that no discerning cook should live without.
Whether you're a competent cook or have just caught the bug, Perfect
has a place on every kitchen shelf.
