Title: Fabulous "bible" for all cooks!
Review: This book begins humbly enough...set out like a dictionary, it lists ingredients and then a selection of recipes for each ingredient. But it is so much more! Not only does she describe the ingredient in detail, she discusses all the important aspects of it, for example varieties, storage, cooking methods, etc. It really comes to the fore if you say, have a particular ingredient that you would like to include in a dinner - just go to that section and there will always be a fabulous selection of dishes to prepare. It must have been a massive undertaking for her to write and I admire the throuroughness that she has achieved. The book includes recipes from all over the world, as well as a few recipes "that her mother gave her" (see her other book with this title). Bravo Stephanie - it is my all-time favourite cookbook and reference book in the kitchen!
