Product Description

Product Description
Shaun Hill explains how your choice of ingredients and cooking processes affects the flavour and texture of your meal. For instance, he explores which cuts of meat suit grilling, roasting, stewing or frying and explains that if you marinade meat it will become more tender; caramelise it and you'll seal in the flavours; cook it slowly and you'll tenderise it while imbuing it with the flavours of the other ingredients. The book is divided into three sections: 'Essentials' (which considers taste combinations, equipment and balance in a meal), 'Ingredients' (which covers buying, storing, preparing and serving) and 'Cooking Techniques' (which considers the different ways in which ingredients can be cooked). Recipes are used to demonstrate the points, making this an inspirational cookbook as well as an invaluable kitchen handbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars not just for beginners, 5 Oct 2004
By Mr. J. E. Dudley (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
im a fan of shaun hill's anyway, having bought merchant house a couple of years ago and eating at the restaurant recently.
I bought it for my dad whos really getting into cooking as i myself already cook for a living.Despite expecting a delia approach this if far far better. It assumes you have more than a passing interest in food and helps you with all the cornerstones a good cook will need to get better. Lots of professional tips which i am obviously familiar but will help the home cook no end. I ve stolen a few recipes before handing over the copy to my pop. I would buy this one again.
