Fine Cooking in Season
FINE COOKING IN SEASON
Some may agree that the average cookbook can be confusing and sometimes even dull with its set formulas and predictability of recipe layout. Fine Cooking in Season brings a new, easy-to-use portfolio of recipes. Instead of focusing on the recipes, the team of editors and contributors concentrate their attention on the freshest and most flavoursome ingredients according to season. Featured through its pages are 100 ingredients and 300 recipes arranged by season, ensuring readers will enjoy both the thrill of discovering new flavours as well as learn different methods of preparing common fresh produce.
The reader is coached on how best to pick each ingredient, keep it fresh, prepare it for cooking, its different uses and what to pair with it. An unfortunate drawback is that this cookbook was compiled in the US and therefore not all seasonal fruit and vegetables will be an exact match for readers in South Africa. It does, however, provide a more-than- adequate guideline and much-needed inspiration. As the team at Fine Cooking say, “When you keep your shopping both seasonal and local, you’ve done yourself and the planet a favour.”
Fine Cooking in Season can be ordered on www.kalahari.net for R182.71.
