Publisher's Synopsis
This cookbook draws on Mrs Beeton's advice to show how to select the key ingredients for a variety of meals, how to complement them with suitable side dishes, and how to serve them. The recipes cover all tastes and diets, from traditional British Sunday roasts to contemporary dishes requiring little preparation; vegetarian options feature alongside light dishes and warming winter favourites. An introduction to each chapter covers basic techniques and methods and step-by-step illustrations are also included. It also contains microwaving and freezing instructions.
