Book description
Steaming retains the food's tenderness, shape, colour and texture,
as well as using little or no fat and preserving the vitamins which
are usually lost through boiling. There is little chance of
over-cooking steamed food, and this economical and space-saving method
is ideal for students, singletons, families and large dinner parties
alike. This best-selling title includes recipes that combine healthy,
low-fat meal ideas with traditional, hearty fare. Cooking charts give
steaming times for all kinds of foods, in additon to the many
delicious recipes for eggs, vegetables, couscous, rice, pasta, fish,
poultry, meat, desserts, parcels and wraps.
