Delias How to Cook Book One Delia Smith How to cook books list
In an age when everyone can literally shop around the world for ingredients at supermarkets, where they can buy instant meals or their salads and vegetables ready prepared, when every other shop in the high street is a take-away or fast food outlet. Delia's How to Cook returns to the roots of cooking to rediscover the joys and simple pleasures of food.
Delia's How To Cook is based on respect for ingredients and the sad fact that many people have never been taught how to deal with them. In this the first of two volumes, Delia starts at the very beginning, explaining in detail the staple ingredients of all cooking, eggs, flour, potatoes, rice and pasta. Here, with her typically friendly and accessible approach, she guides beginners through many of the basic techniques that will serve them for a lifetime of cooking, right from boiling and poaching an egg, through bread and pastry making, to sauces and cooking all kinds of rice perfectly every time.
For those who have mastered the techniques - and for those who are already accomplished cooks - How to Cook provides a sparkling collection of recipes, incorporating new ideas such as fat-free white sauces, chips you don’t have to fry and soufflés that don’t collapse, all presented in Delia’s inimitable style that inspires total confidence and removes fear from cooking.

Delias How to Cook Book Three Delia Smith How to cook books list
In part three of How to Cook, Delia continues and completes her journey through the fundamentals of cooking, revising traditional areas that are all too often overlooked, as well as exploring more contemporary concerns for the modern cook. As ever, the principles remain the same: to rediscover the simple pleasure of food, to take beginners through many of the basic techniques, and to offer inspiration to even the most accomplished cook.
With stunning photographs to accompany each one of them, the recipes range from neglected classics like Old English Apple Hat and Smoked Collar of Bacon with Pease Pudding to exciting new flavours such as Teriyaki Grilled Marinated Salmon and Sea Bass with Puy Lentil Salsa. In Book Three, the reader can learn the techniques of pickling and preserving, how to equip their kitchen from scratch, and how to get the most out of food processors, bread machines and ice-cream makers. Here, Delia also focuses on first courses (pâtés and starters) and last courses (hot puddings), and introduces us to the wonderful world of pulses, from adzuki beans to pintos by way of many more familiar ones.
How to Cook Book Three contains over 120 great new recipes, written, as always, to inspire confidence in nervous cooks and to extend the repertoire of more experienced ones. Those who already have Books One and Two cannot afford to be without this one, and those who do not can start right here.
