Description
E very rape starts with a photograph of all the ingredients but this is more than just a pretty picture or even less helpful-a montage that is not to scale so that a chill appears to be the same size as a whole fish.
Instead, it serves as a handy way of checking that you have everything ready before you start cooking Just comparing the picture with the ingredients arranged on your own worktop or kitchen table will ensure that you haven't mussed anything out and when it's time to add the garlic, for example, you have already chopped it as specified in the ingredients list.
If you're uncertain about how small to dice fruit or how finchy to crush biscuits, a glance at the photograph will provide an instant answer.
Each short and straightforward step of the method is clearly explained without any jargon or difficult technical terms. Once again, what you see in the photograph is what you should expect to see in front of you.
Not only is this reassuring for the novice cook, those with more experience will find it a helpful reminder of the little touches that can easily be overlooked. Each recipe ends with a lovely photograph of the finished dish, complete with any serving suggestions.
