Want to master the perfect pancake? Need to learn just how to roast a chicken? Celebrity chef Marcus Wareing deconstructs classic recipes to show you just what works in the kitchen-and why. Filled... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I agree with the other reviewers that this is an excellent cookbook. The recipes may seem simple but they are also classic and well-rounded. For example, french onion soup, seared tuna, braised lamb shanks, deep-dish apple pie, etc. Mr. Wareing addresses what many cookbooks simply leave out - the subtle details that make any recipe come to life - that is, how to perfect a dish. I borrowed the book from the library and liked it so much, that I will now buy it and add it to my library.
It's all about technique

This is an excellent book. One can tell that Mr. Wareing knows his stuff. The recipes may look simple and they are, but only because the proper technique is being followed. The banana bread recipe is by far the best I have and I will be roasting the chicken tonight. I plan to turn that bird over several times, as mentioned. Good everyday fare that anyone can turn out.

Thie is one of the best cook books I've seen. It has a great variety of recipes, with easily-understood directions. Great pictures that are helpful in knowing what the dish should/will look like.
