This is how it’s done!’ – Yotam Ottolenghi ‘A cookbook full of not just recipes but an insight into the mind of a chef – tricks and techniques that will make you a better cook.’ – Anna Jones ‘A valuable resource for all cooks, it is indispensable. I couldn’t be more admiring.’ – Nigella Lawson – One of the most important things you can do whilst cooking is to ask why? Why am I adding salt now and not later? Why am I preheating my pan? Why has my chocolate mousse split? Why does this taste so good?!
