Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Roz Denny's Real Food Handbook is a thoroughly useful guide to quality produce, and will be of great benefit in helping the inexperienced or intimidated cook/shopper choose wisely and well. It provides a down-to-earth, no-nonsense description of the proliferating variety of foodstuffs to be had from today's supermarkets--at least the more upmarket ones--and specialist food shops. Covering fresh and cured meats, fish, dairy produce, vegetables, fruits and nuts, grains and pulses, pasta, herbs, spices, sauces, pastes and a host of other ingredients both familiar and exotic, it offers basic information that will not only help you to know what to buy, why and when, but give you an idea of what you might do with it when you get it home. The emphasis throughout is on quality and seasonality. This is a very friendly book and one that invites prolonged browsing (what, for example, is a pitahaya?). Roz Denny is patient, thorough and unfazed. She seems to have tried everything in the book at least once (except durian, perhaps unsurprisingly) and has an agreeably breezy style that allows her to describe Korean pickled cabbage, kimchi, as "a bit on the whiffy side". However, it is a shame that she has not been ideally served by her publishers: the editing is irritatingly sloppy and someone has neglected to complete the cross-references (all to page 00). --Robin Davidson
Product Description
As we move toward the millenium most cooks are now emphasizing that it is not complexity and elaboration that make for great cuisine but quality of ingredients - sourcing the best produce at the right time of year, getting the best cut of meat and the freshest seafood, the finest oils, vinegars and spices. The difference between one variety of rice and another or one kind of olive oil and another can be making or breaking the dish. Also with the revolution in fusion cuisine and people's familiarity with foods and ingredients from around the world, supported by an increasingly broad range of our supermarkets, the modern everyday cook wants to know more about new ingredients and how to use them. This title guides the reader through this area offering an A-Z of every staple ingredient you will find in the modern cook's pantry, where to buy, what to select and how to look after it and incorporate it into your cooking. And a guide to the many varieties of rice, chillies, flour, herbs, exotic and everyday vegatables, diary products, oils and vinegars, meat, fish, deli goods, Far Eastern condiments which together forms a valuable reference book for cooks. The book also offers recipes to get the reader started with new ingredients.
