The Complete Cookery Course

A step-by-step guide for all occasions

This is sure to be one of the most useful books in your cookery library—one that you will refer to again and again. With over 700 recipes illustrated with 350 specially taken colour photographs, it will be just like having a professional cook in your own kitchen, guiding you through the basic skills of good cooking.

The book is divided into four parts for easy reference: Quick and Easy Cooking, Friendly Family Meals, Cooking for Special Occasions and Oven Magic (good things to bake). Plus a delicious range of mouth-watering drinks to refresh you after all the hard work!

Step-by-step pictures are used throughout the book to illustrate special techniques and points of interest, and the recipes themselves contain all the information you need for perfect results.

Even if you're just starting on the adventure of cooking, you'll feel at home with this book beside you—and there is also plenty to challenge the experienced cook who wants to reproduce great international dishes of the world, classic sauces, pastries, cakes and more.

All in all, this book is not only comprehensive but specifically planned to fit in with the most up-to-date attitudes towards cooking and the needs of today's cooks.
