How to Cook Without a Book: Recipes and Techniques Every Cook Should Know by Heart: member book reviews

(1 review)

I find this a very useful book. Aimed at week-night cooking, it provides formulas (supported by little "poems" :-) for various bits of the dinner, a master recipe with variations following the same technique. Nothing really new, but the organization makes it very useful. The section on pan sauces is worth the book. I'd never really looked at a sauce like this as a technique, but now I find they quickly dress up a simply sauteed bit of meat.

The serving sizes are generally very generous.
