HOW TO COOK WITHOUT RECIPES is all about setting the home cook free. This wonderful little book will teach you to understand the recipes you follow� why they sometimes go wrong� and how to cook independently to make better use of them and invent their own.
Glynn Christian begins by taking the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of recipes� and explains how a useful aide memoire became a set of shackles for would be cooks. He explains how to learn to taste� and to understand what ingredients go together� giving you the tools to create your own recipes. And if you still insist on using your cook books� he explains how to 'read' the recipes of the big names -- where you should take notice of them� and where you should do your own thing.
HOW TO COOK WITHOUT RECIPES -- A cook book� in every sense� with taste.
