A book written with today's cooks in mind, those who want fresher, lighter dishes, as well as people who are learning to cook. It includes twelve basic but essential «master recipes» for cooking with confidence, both day to day and on special occasions: how to make a fluffy omelette and a creamy soup, how to sauté chops and roast vegetables, roast a chicken, make an apple pie and a sponge cake. In the «Recipes» chapter you'll find classic dishes with a modern twist, as well as some fresh, original ideas that use the latest ingredients available on the market.
