CROSS, PAMELA Kitchen Wisdom: Harrowsmith's Sourcebook for Cooks
BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED, Camden House. 1991. (ISBN: 0921820372) Glossy Pictorial Soft Cover, 9" x 11". 142 pp. Indexed. Bottom front corner has a tiny crease, else fine. "The first section of KITCHEN WISDOM, "Pantry", introduces the reader to common food items that a kitchen is stocked with, tips on buying them, storing them, and what kinds of dishes you can create with them. The second section, "How-To", explains basic cooking terms like simmer, stir-fry, blanch, clarify, al dente, dredge, parboil, etc. and then walks you through a couple dozen fundamental creations such as a cake, vegetable stock, mayonnaise, pancakes, and pizza dough. Next comes "Tools & Equipment", which discusses various forms of technology that you might meet in a kitchen, from the stove and the refrigerator, to pasta makers and coffee grinders. A last section provides tables and charts for cooking pasta, beans, grains, vegetables, using herbs and spices, making recipe substitutions, food storage, and a bakeware glossary. (This) is an excellent textbook for beginning cooks. On another level it is a goldmine of delicious recipes for basic kinds of food that real people eat. The photographs accompanying the recipes are mouth-watering, dangerous to someone with an empty stomach." -- Janet Peters. Near Fine.
