In The Kitchen

Two former chefs wanted all the food they cook at home in one tome—and here it is, more than 1,000 of their favorite recipes   A comprehensive set of recipes for the everyday, this cookbook covers every meal from breakfasts to weeknight dinners, from slow-cooked braises to lazy Sunday afternoon barbecue ideas and delicious desserts. Each chapter begins with a basic recipe and slowly builds up the skills of the cook. In Soups, basic stock recipes head the order, followed by simple vegetable soups such as Sweet Potato and Ginger Soup, moving to Minestrone, Oxtail Soup, Roasted Vegetable Gazpacho, and ending with Asian dumpling-style soups and accompaniments such as soda bread, focaccia, and naan. Other offerings include French Toast Sandwiches Filled with Chocolate; Sweet Potato, Pancetta, and Pea Risotto; Mediterranean Fish Stew; Pesto Roast Lamb; Fig Jam; and Coffee and Cardamom Mousse. Full of recipes that work and will make their way into every home cook's routine, this book is destined to become a well-worn favorite to be cooked from time and time again.
