More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Synonymous with comfort cooking and the countryside, the Aga is slowly taking over urban areas, becoming the modern-day choice for the modern family. Aga cookery specialist, Amy Willcock, imparts her in-depth knowledge on what can at first be a daunting prospect. Through her easy, informative writing, the Aga will soon become a long-loved friend, never to be parted from. And before all non-Aga owners turn away, the scrummy recipes also include conventional instructions so the Aga's image of homemade food can be enjoyed in every home. Recipes range from the traditional Shepherds Pie and casseroles to Christmas fare and recipes with an international flavour such as Hot Asian Tuna Salad and Crab Spring Rolls. And being an Aga cookbook and therefore essentially British, puddings in all their scrumptious varieties are included: Chocolate Pecan Pie, Banana, Peach and Rum Crumble and Panattone pudding. If you already own an Aga you'll realises how much more it can give you after reading this and, if you don't, you will soon be yearning for one. - Lucy Watson
Simon Page, Sales & Marketing Manager, Aga.
"Amy Willcock brings her effervescent personality and a real enthusiasm to Aga cooking. Her recipes are delicious and her book a joy to read."

Format:Hardcover
it is a trusted friend in the kitchen. I adore cooking with my AGA and wouldn't dream of having anything else.'
In this book, 'Amy shares the essential secrets for getting the best out of your AGA. Starting with all the information you need to use your AGA, `AGA Cooking' shows you just how simple it is to cook with it and how to adapt recipes originally devised for conventional cooking.
Packed with ideas and hints, tips and techniques, 'Aga Cooking' is the book no aga owner should be without.'
Where old favourites such as 'toad-in-the-hole' and 'shepherd's pie' meet the lesser well known 'crab spring rolls with lemon oil' and 'baked pumpkin with cream and gruyere cheese', this book has 192 high quality, shiny pages split over 12 main chapters:-
1. Breakfast and brunch
2. Soups and starters
3. Family foods
4. Chicken and game
5. Meat
6. Fish and seafood
7. Vegetables
8. Puddings
9. Baking
10. Christmas entertaining
11. Mummy's little helpers
12. On the side
sandwiched between a 14-page introduction and a concise index.
The introduction section has a brief history of AGA cooking - 'How it All Began' in 1922, plus 'Aga Know-How' including the various ovens:-
* The Roasting Oven
* The Simmering Oven
* The Warming Oven
* Cookware for your AGA
* Cleaning/caring/servicing
* Aga IRONING (!)
* Converting recipes e.g. for a 2 oven AGA or a 4-oven AGA
* Aga A.A.G. (At A Glance)
Each recipe is well laid out with clear ingredients list and method, with useful notes re 'conventional cooking' modification.
Full colour, double-page spreads open each chapter, but, generally, the book is perhaps a little light on photography.
Having said that, the dishes which are pictured are simply mouth-watering, e.g. the 'Oven-roasted Spare Ribs', on page 87 or the 'Sephardic Orange Cake', on page 145!
A small taste of the other recipes included within:-
* Aga porridge
* Banana and walnut muffins
* Roasted garlic and onion soup
* Rouille
* Grilled tiger prawn and fennel salad
* Old fashioned meatloaf
* Crispy duck pancakes with plum sauce
* Braised beef
* Balsamic pork roast
* Roast potatoes
* Glazed ham for a crowd
* Christmas pudding snow-drift
* Aga-toasted cheese sandwich
* Pigs in blankets
* School fete cake
* Apple cake
* Seville orange marmalade
* Glazed passion fruit tart
* Tarte tatin

Format:Hardcover
For a new owner, this book really helped me to understand how to translate conventional recipes into Aga/Rayburn recipes. The results have been delicious, especially the roasted vine tomato soup, balsamic pork and chocolate brownies. A word of warning, leave out the shot of espresso if you plan to eat the brownies before bedtime!
