About this product

Product Information

The major publishing event for the millennium is the publication of Delia's How to Cook -a simple-to-follow cookery course for people of all ages and abilities. In this comprehensive two-part book series, Delia returns to the very roots of cooking to look at the techniques and the staple ingredients which underline the best traditions of British cookery. Delia sees it as an answer to an urgent need. 'There are more recipes than ever on television -and yet it seems that many of us have forgotten how to put together a wholesome, nutritious meal that doesn't come from the chill cabinet or ready-made in a packet.... Delia is convinced from the questions she receives in her postbag that people are no longer handed down the basics. In a world where people have less time than ever, they feel intimidated by the thought of cooking.How to Cook- Book One covers the staple ingredients which form the basis of the world's foods -rice, flour, potatoes, pasta and eggs. With her unique powers of communication Delia removes the fear and mystique from cooking both the simplest and quickest -and the more advanced -dishes with these essential tools of the trade. Perfect sponge cakes, fail-safe pastry and Delia's guide to the Great British Breakfast rub shoulders with an everlasting souffle and tempura prawns. For the health conscious there are chips that you don't have to fry and Delia's amazing no-fat white sauce. And, if you can't even boil an egg, Delia will show you how to do that as well. Delia's How to Cook will be a complete guide to cookery for the 21st century.
