Fresh
Eggs Don't Float By Lara DePetrillo and Caroline Eastman-Bridges
Published by
Piatkus 20 November 2008 £9.99 Hardback
Are you tired of
getting cooking tips from people who can't even remember what it's
like to need them?
Celebrity chefs
are so used to working in professional kitchens that they often
forget how to make their recipes accessible for those of us cooking
at home. They can tell you how to bake a better pie ¯ but will
they remember to tell you that if you have cheap or old tins, you
have to line them with baking paper to get the pie out afterwards? Or
that if your shellfish glows in the dark, this means that it is
covered in photobacterium and isn't very fresh?
Fresh Eggs Don't
Float removes all the intimidation from cooking and offers budding
chefs and foodies a light-hearted, smart and funny approach to making
delicious food from your own kitchen ¯ without fancy gadgets and
over-complicated instructions. It provides superb recipes, amazing
facts and invaluable tips.
What started as a
novel way of keeping in touch became a new-found passion for the
authors. With Lara in the UK and Caroline based in the USA, they
decided to cook a new recipe every day for a whole year and share
their experiences on their excellent blog www.cookbad.blogspot.com.
Fresh Eggs Don't Float is their chance to now share what they have
discovered with anyone who wants to make great food at home. |

Cooking
with my Indian mother-in-law
Mastering
the art of authentic home cooking Simon Daley with Roshan Hirani
Published by Pavilion, an imprint of Anova Books
" a
wonderful collaboration - a faithful record of the instinctive
cooking that goes on in a typical Indian household; an overdue
celebration of the unsung skills of the home cook"
Vivek Singh, Executive Chef at The Cinnamon Club
When keen,
self-taught home cook Simon Daley tasted his future mother-in-law
Roshan's chicken curry for the first time, he was smitten. It was a
chicken curry like he'd never tasted before, and he knew he had to
have the recipe - even if he had to marry Roshan's daughter to get it!
This unique book
draws on the extensive repertoire of an exceptional home cook,
including traditional dishes passed from mother to daughter over
centuries - from the family's Gujerati roots in India to modern
adaptations for life in England today.
Simon asked Roshan
to teach him her vast personal collection of recipes, with Simon then
attempting to cook the dishes himself. From there it was a natural
progression of the two of them cooking together and sharing recipes.
You will recognise some familiar names - tandoori chicken, chicken
biriani, and samosas - as well as more unusual regional specialities
such as stuffed chillies, savoury vegetable cake and a sweet mango
lassi (yogurt drink).
With stunning
modern photography of Simon and Roshan cooking at home, step-by-step
sequences that illustrate over 100 foolproof recipes and unique
flavours, this is authentic real Indian home cooking at its best!
The
authors
Simon Daley is
Roshan's son-in-law, who has worked as a designer and art director
specializing in cookery books for over 10 years. He is a passionate
home cook and extremely interested in the traditions and cultures of foods.
Roshan Hirani, has
more than 50 years of experience and is well known in her community
and neighbourhood as an outstanding cook. She is often called upon to
provide food for religious and social occasions. Her chapatis are legendary.
