Publisher's Synopsis
Baking food instead of grilling, frying, or boiling it can be a real joy. Don't limit yourself to just dessert baking, incorporate all ingredient groups, and see how your world of cooking opens up.
The stages of baking are critical contributors to drawing out the taste of the food because the food doesn't lose any of the nutrients. It saves cooking time when baking because it is a method of dry heated cooking that needs less supervision when compared to other cooking methods. Baking is an ancient technique that has developed as equipment and utensils have developed. For the context of this book, an oven would be electric or gas-fueled. However, there are other means of generating the dry heat, required to bake the food. These methods include wood oven, a coal fire, or a cast-iron pot (Dutch Oven). You can learn these techniques from other books from the same publisher.
