Discover the joy of reading with us, your trusted source for affordable books that do not compromise on quality.

One can ignore them if one chooses (I always do), but for those wishing to learn, they can, presumably, be useful. It gives the user the ability to produce the standard, classic repertoire, with a few new things thrown in.The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Recipes come complete with ‘prepare ahead’ instructions in case you want to cook them in advance, making it easy to rustle up quick after-work suppers, or to cook for friends and family without spending all your time slaving in the kitchen. It has meant due regard for healthy eating, alongside the "haute cuisine" of rich butter sauces and high-cholesterol puddings and the hearty, homely cooking of the modern brasserie. The school provides comprehensive theoretical and practical teaching, qualifying students to enter the highly competitive food and wine business and begin a rewarding career.

With over 1400 recipes, this cookbook contains many classic recipes as well as imaginative innovations, and numerous Oriental, Indian, Mexican and vegetarian dishes. Leiths concentrates on information: a 100-page primer covering conversion tables, cookery terms, menu planning, calculating quantities, presentation, serving, healthy eating, nutrition, food safety, storage, leftovers, freezing food, equipment and wine, and a further 740 large pages of very detailed recipes that are unambiguous, precise and easy to follow. When we began the course, the premise was to teach us as if we had never been in a kitchen in our lives. Both the ultimate reference book and a fantastic source of inspiration, Leiths Baking Bible will be the only book you’ll need for home baking.I especially liked the explanations of kitchen knives, particularly the different makes (carbon steel vs stainless).

Firstly, the discussion on kitchen utensils is quite in depth and a large chunk of it is relevant to the home cook. With 100 colour photographs, conversion tables, a glossary of terms, illustrated techniques tips (from whipping cream to cutting a mango), a guide to wines and cheeses, a seasonal table of fruit and veg, and much more, this is the cookery book you will turn to every day. I cooked something different from it every single day the first week or two I got it, and everything turned out perfectly.

It feels a little outdated as now popular ingredients such a raddichio, fennel, pumpkin seeds and all the other fashions that have come and gone aren't really referenced but I feel strongly that all good food has value -regardless of whether its considered old-fashioned.The 1,400 recipes range from timeless classics such as Cheese Souffl and Steak and Kidney Pie to more innovative recipes such as Salmon and Plaice Ravioli and Red Onion and PolentaTart, and come from every part of the world, from Scotland to the South Pacific. It's not that the recipes are out of date--though the traditional favourites such as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding are present and correct--but that this isn't a volume written around gorgeous colour photographs so perfect they actually put the average home chef off even attempting the dishes for fear of failure. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there?
