Cooking Without Fuss: Stress-Free Recipes for the Homecook
Author: Jonny Haughton
Cooking Without Fuss is about bringing people back into the kitchen with mouth-watering, brilliantly simple recipes. Throughout the book the emphasis is on dishes that are easy-to-follow and offer delicious, proven results. The recipes derive from The Havelock's menu of Modern British dishes - a combination of classics and innovative cooking. Its philosophy has always been to serve good home-cooking with an extra edge. The tried-and-tested dishes are guaranteed to succeed and don't rely on specialist equipment or require a high level of skill. They range from light but satisfying dishes such as Mussels with Cider, Creme Fraiche and Thyme and Goan Chicken Curry with Roasted Coconut to hearty meals such as Smoked Haddock Gratin with Tomato, Spinach and Gruyere and Grilled Bavette Steak. It's the sort of food everyone loves to eat - food that's uncomplicated and just tastes good.
Author and professional chef Jonny Haughton believes that cooking doesn't have to be stressful, as long as you are organized. To accompany the recipes, the first part of the book concentrates on building core skills and how to stock and equip the kitchen. There is advice on traditional cooking principles, menu balancing and cooking for crowds and how to get organized before you start cooking. This is a book that encourages readers to cook with enjoyment and ease.
