"'A book for serious slurpers' - Matthew Fort, The Guardian"

Product Description
'A book for serious slurpers' - Matthew Fort, The Guardian From the intense flavours of a clear consumme to the hearty warmth of a good broth, from the tang of a chilled summer appetizer to the richness of a comforting chowder, soup is one of themost versatile dishes imaginable. This unparalleled book covers every aspect of cooking soups, from stock-making and thickening to garnishes, embellishments and accompaniments.

4.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK not just about SOUP, but what to have in it and with it, too, 11 Jan 2007
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Soups, both classic and new, from all over the world.
Some from top chefs, restaurants and cookery writers are combined with the author's own innovative ideas.
Whether you are an expert cook or a novice, there are countless soups here that you can make, enjoy and share, whatever the occasion.'

Rear cover note from Nigel Slater, in the Observer :-
`If I could buy only one book this year it would be Lindsey Bareham's `A Celebration of Soup'...an encyclopaedic collection'.

398 pages in this typical PENGUIN COOKERY LIBRARY published paperback book split over three Main chapters:-

`The Foundations of Soup-Making'
`The Embellishment of Soup'
`Types of Soup'

With sections on:
`The History of Soup`, `Soup as a healthy way of life`, `Drinks with Soup`, plus conversion tables, a trouble shooting guide for when your soup turns out less than perfect - all sandwiched between an introduction, a glossary and a concise index which highlights vegetarian and fish/shellfish only recipes.

This is a seriously written book with no pictures other than the cover.

Handy notes, sometimes informative, head up each recipe, e.g:-

`Wakame Soup'
`Wakame' a seaweed popular in Japanese cookery, is rich in vitamins B1 and B12, and eaten regularly, will improve the quality of hair. It is reputed to help the body eliminate the effects on animal foods.

`Spring Tonic Soup'
This soup celebrated the arrival of Spring with a marriage of seasonal vegetables and herbs. Most like sorrel, spinach and nettles, are thought to cleanse the blood. The ingredients can be adapted to whatever is available.'


A tiny indication of the delights contained within:-
Walnut Soup (attributed to Elizabeth David)
Jersey Royal and Mint Soup
Garlic Purée
Stocks
Baked Tomato Sauce
Spiced Lentil Soup
Pumpkin and Cheese Soup
Laksa
Melon, Ginger and Port Soup
Potato Bread
Quick Rolls
Lotus Root Crisps
Brioche
Wholemeal Pasta
Cream of Fennel Soup
Congee
Bisques
Chinese Leek and Noodle Soup
Iced Haddock Soup
Beef Tea
and not forgetting good old:-
Tomato Soup!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE soup book to buy, 18 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Celebration of Soup (Penguin Cookery Library) (Paperback)
For someone who has never made soup before, this is an excellent book, full of tips and a huge variety of recipes. There is a soup for every day of the year, and I seem to make one on about half of those now. I particularly like the comments on each recipe. A best buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 12 April 2001
By A Customer
This is an absolute must-have for any self-respecting food enthusiast. Lindsey Bareham is one of the best food writers you could wish to read - all of her books are an inspiration. A celebration of soup is just that, a joyful evocation of soups from deeply comforting stews through to delicate broths. A classic.
