Master it: How to cook today

Winner of the André Simon Food Book Award.

A personal cookery lesson from one of our finest cookery teachers.

Nowadays
we seem to know a lot about food, but much less about actual cooking.
In Master It, Rory O’Connell will teach you simple but essential skills
to make you a truly good cook. At the heart of his approach are good
ingredients, carefully prepared, and used in recipes that are tried,
tested, carefully measured, and full of the essential tips and details
that will make your dishes a success.

Each chapter
will teach you a particular technique – preparing a soup, roasting meat,
making biscuits – and include a collection of fresh, seasonal recipes
to use it in, from wild garlic soup, to roast pork with fennel seeds,
chilli and garlic, to caramel and almond thins.
