Back to Basics

This cookbook is designed specifically for people who want a ready reference for really simple basic recipes. It explains (and shows with step-by-step pictures) how to make a basic curry, how to make mashed potatoes, how to roast a leg of lamb, how to make gravy. Many of the recipes explain how a single dish can be used in different ways, for example chilli con carne can be served with rice or it can be made into tacos and enchiladas. It’s a book for new cooks of all ages.
