Book Description
Open up a fresh, tasty new way of cooking with 110 easy-to-follow recipes for all kinds of steamer
Product Description
Steaming is one of the healthiest, simplest and most versatile cooking methods around: not only does it retain the nutritional qualities of ingredients more than any other technique, it doesn't require any fat. So if you're trying to improve your diet or simply want your food to be as tasty as it can be, it's the perfect option.
But steamed food doesn't mean dull food - you can make delicious dim sum, couscous and puddings, as well as spicy meat dishes, perfect rice and mouth-watering fish dishes in minutes. All you need is a pan of water and a rack! Around the world, steaming has long been a popular cooking method, and Steam Cuisine includes exciting recipes from China and South-East Asia such as Prawn and pork won ton, Scallop and coriander dim sum and Duck rolls with spring onion.
There's also inspiration from the Middle East and North Africa, with the likes of Whole quail with a pomegranate marinade and Seven vegetable couscous. In the Mediterranean wonderful ingredients are commonly wrapped in a paper envelope to be steam-baked and opened at the table, such as Mussels, monkfish and clams in a saffron broth and Lemony chicken parcels with garlic, chard and chilli. While in Britain, the sweetest, most indulgent puddings are steamed - and here are some healthy takes on classics like Sticky pecan toffee pudding and Chocolate puddings.
With over 100 tried-and-tested, easy-to-follow recipes and full-colour photographs throughout, Steam Cuisine will open up a fresh way of cooking and a new world of taste.

'Steaming is one of the healthiest simplest and most versatile cooking methods around......
9 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
.... not only does it retain the nutritional qualities of ingredients more than any other technique, it doesn't require any fat.
So if you're trying to improve your diet or simply want your food to be as tasty as it can be, it's the perfect option.
Being conceived as the healthy low-fat option, however, has contributed to the misconception that steaming is a technique used to create uninteresting, bland food. If this is your view, think again!.....'
176 high quality shiny pages, split over main chapters:-
* Fish & Seafood
* Poultry & Meat
* Vegetables
* Eggs
* Rice, Couscous & Bulghar Wheat
* Dumplings & Buns
* Desserts
sandwiched between an introduction and a concise index.
The introduction includes a 'steaming know-how', including different techniques, basic steps, equipment, how to protect delicate foods from condensation and how to make paper parcels.
A list of recipes heads each chapter. Each recipe has a note/number of servings/list of ingredients and a clear method.
Slightly negative to some readers/cooks may be the lack of photography, with only a few dishes pictured.
However, having said that - those that are featured are mouth-watering, full page spreads such as the super cover photo:-
'Salmon with New Potatoes, Beans and Lemony Tarragon Sauce'.
A small taste of the other recipes contained within:-
* King Prawns with Soy & Ginger
* Curried Snapper in Banana Leaf
* Chicken in a bag, with Baby Leeks & Carrots and Thyme
* Duck Breast Salad with Minted Summer Vegetables
* Pomegranate & Cinnamon Quails
* White Radish Cakes with Beansprouts
* Asparagus with a Lemony Vinaigrette
* Lamb Shanks with Orange, Bay and Juniper Berries
* Thai Pork Meatballs
* Baby Vegetables en papillotte
* Sweetcorn Parcels
* Goats' Cheese Soufflés
* Sticky Rice with Mango
* Vegetable Dumplings
* Prawn & Pork Wontons
* Saffron Buns
* Individual Chocolate Puddings
* Steamed Orange and Cranberry Mini Puddings
So if you're trying to improve your diet or simply want your food to be as tasty as it can be, it's the perfect option.

Thoroughly impressed. Should have been steaming food sooner. The book is full of lovely recipes with clear pictures and instructions. Good value for money.

I bought 2 steam cooking books. This one and "steaming!" by Annette Yates.
I have made 4 recipes out of the latter book.( Great book. Everybody raves about it and rightly so.) None yet out of this one because they aren't quick and easy. For me steam cooking needs to be quick and easy and the result needs to taste great. This book does not tick these boxes. I don't want to go out and find ingredients. For somebody with little time this book is not it. Yates' book is though!
