THE ART OF COOKING (A COMPLETE COURSE OF TECHNIQUES AND RECIPES) provides an indispensable guide to those who wish to cook not only well but economically. Fifteen comprehensive chapters build up to a complete cooking course and also provide a well-balanced repertory of delicious recipes guaranteed to provide hours of eating pleasure. Such different arts as soup-making, pastry-making, meat and fish cooking and dessert-making are described in clear and detailed terms - complete with step-by-step illustrations - and there are many mouth-watering recipes which taste even better than they look! Every taste and situation is accounted for: elegant consommés and delicate sauces; hearty chowders and broths; a beef stroganoff perfect for a dinner party; egg dishes for simple suppers; classic cakes and old-fashioned apple pie.
