"You wouldn't believe it but I couldn't tell the difference between a mange tout and a blancmange ten years ago, and now I'm presenting a TV food show! I knew that being a good cook was a great way forward in so many aspects of my life, and I knew it wasn't just about slavishly following recipes. So I set out to discover the building blocks of great cuisine and suddenly it all fell into place! It's not a mystery after all and here in "Virtuoso Cooking" I've collected 52 brilliant ideas and techniques to help you enchant family and friends with your amazing new skills. Forget just refuelling and find your passion for food." - Lisa Helmanis. Ever followed a recipe to the letter and created a dish that's a joy to behold only to find your next attempt at the same recipe a total disaster? Do you find yourself walking down the supermarket aisles choosing the 'same old same old' and wondering what the other stuff is for? "Virtuoso Cooking" will teach you the essential culinary building blocks with all the reasoning (and seasoning) behind them explained.
"Virtuoso Cooking" will give you the confidence and the understanding not just to follow (or adapt) a recipe, but even to create some new ones of your own. Celebrity chefs beware.
