Cooking with Michael Field

Organized around the basic culinary processes, this volume from one of America's master teachers is a straight-forward guide to every technique and skill any cook will ever need to know. Whether one is about to truss a chicken or quarter one, to poach a fish or bake a pie, to prepare artichokes or oysters, to boil, broil, or braise, COOKING WITH MICHAEL FIELD provides explicit and easy-to-follow instructions. For those new to cooking, it is the perfect introduction, but even experienced cooks will find it a rich source of information. And, as with every Michael Field cookbook, the recipes are as imaginative and appealing as they are fail-proof and delicious.
