When I'm bored I make soup

This is not a cookery book. At least not in the conventional sense. But it will teach you how to cook. And if you are a beginner, or have never strayed from a recipe, or like me have always wondered where recipes come from, then it has been written for you. And if you are a student or just want or need to be economical with your money then you’ll want to read it as well, because soup just has to be the cheapest way to produce a nutritious filling meal. Written in diary style, this book is not full of recipes to be slavishly copied. The instructions are certainly there and you will produce delicious soups, but at the same time you will be encouraged to think about what you are doing and why. And with this knowledge and with further reading you will be able to go on and cook anything you want.
