The Curious Cook's Book

A modern kitchen manual for the man or woman who wants to feed herself, himself, the family, or each other sensibly and well. It contains advice on equipment, stores and cooking methods and has a comprehensive selection of recipes fully explained by a woman who has been housewife, mother and professional chef. A good starter cookbook for novices, it will also intrigue and delight the experienced cook. Geraldine’s style is light but thorough - she never leaves you with a pan in your hand wondering what to do next. She will have you producing economical, varied and nutritious meals in no time, and the skills you develop will enable you to branch out in any direction you wish. The world, you might say, is your oyster. Devout Christians can ask for their own expurgated edition which does not contain the recipe for Devil Food Cake.
