The Cook's Pocket Bible answers every 'on-the-spot question' that even the most experienced of cooks may have, making it a vital source of information. It covers cooking times, how to rescue recipes that have gone wrong, and quick ideas for meals.
Even the most experienced cook has questions. After all, no one (with a life) can remember everything they need to know when they're in the kitchen, from how long a 16lb turkey will take to roast, to which bits of a dragon fruit you can eat. But where do you go for the answers? The Cook's Pocket Bible puts the answers to all those on-the-spot questions right at your floured fingertips, including: * What's the best way to carve a shoulder of lamb? * What proportion of fat/flour/milk goes into a white sauce? * Are these leftovers still OK after two days in the fridge? * Can you substitute creme fraiche if you've run out of fromage frais? * What can you serve vegetarians who are with you for Christmas dinner? This book will be indispensible to all enthusiastic cooks (and reluctant ones too), and save hours combing through standard cookbooks.
