A cookbook for the 30-something, who may not have good cooking skills but wants to aim high, and learn about the art of cooking. Take sauces as an example-the reader is first given an introduction to the world of creamy sauces, then a basic professional recipe, followed by variations, substitutions, innovations, plus several exciting new recipes. The new cook learns about the joy of transforming basic ingredients and classic flavours into something they have never tried before-food suitable for everyday and special occasions. With full colour photography throughout, McGough has created recipes that are simple enough for anyone to try, yet obtain professional results.
