In "Food for Cooks", Clare Ferguson guides the reader through the new global larder and selects the essential store-cupboard ingredients for today's eclectic cooking styles. Covering over 500 items she explains what to look for in terms of taste, quality and nutritional value, and describes the role each ingredient plays in different cuisines. Her expert advice on preparation is backed up with imaginative serving ideas and useful information on storage times and methods. Key cooking techniques are illustrated in step-by-step photographs and the book features 50 simple and stylish recipes that demonstrate ways of using the ingredients with fresh foods or with other store-cupboard items. Well-known chefs and cookery writers contribute many of the recipes. Concluding the book is an extensive list of specialist retail outlets, mail order companies and web sites to help you track down all the ingredients in the book.
