A complete guide to practical cookery. This is a book for everyone who is interested in food and how to prepare it. For those interested not just in making recipes work but in why they work and in what is happening to food during the familiar processes we call boiling, frying, roasting, braising, steaming, poaching, broiling, baking, freezing and preserving. Kitchen Technique deals with every aspect of food preparation from boiling an egg to producing the most succulent roast meats; from slicing and chopping vegetables to using a food processor; from making confections to decorating all kinds of cakes.
