Cook!

A Perfect Gift!

This book has been written to help domestic engineers, enthusiastic amateurs and students beginning their career, to improve their knowledge of food and cookery. It contains the knowledge and explanation of the techniques and practices which set the professional chef apart from cooks. This is not a recipe book, in fact there are only one or two basic recipes within its covers, that is it! There are millions of books containing recipes, each with its own ingredient list and methodology to produce dishes from the simplest to the most complex dishes - the World does not need another one!

A recipe provides the "what" - a list of ingredients and the "how" - the process used to create the dish - but not the "why?" - Why are certain ingredients used? Why is a specific action needed?

This book gives the reader the explanation needed to understand why these ingredients and processes are taking place and know the consequences of ignoring them. Why are some types of fish cheaper than others? Why are some cuts of meat cooked one way, whilst another cut, from the same animal, is cooked a completely different way? From knowing what happens when heat is applied to foods, to why a spoon left in a pot of hot soup will burn your hand - this book answers these and many more questions the keen cook will frequently ask.
