Confident Cook: Basic Recipes, How to Build Them

In 'The Confident Cook,' author Irena Chalmers demonstrates there are only four or five basic methods of cooking food. Once you've mastered them, these basic methods can be used with many different ingredients to create countless dishes.

For example, she shows how beef stew, braised veal, coq au vin, and a vegetable casserole are similar in their preparation; how a simple beef stew can become a hearty Mulligan, a Belgian carbonnade, a French boeuf bourguignon, or your own less classic invention. More importantly, she shows that you can whip up something delectable from whatever supplies you have available, without being slavishly tied to a recipe with specified ingredients.

About 200 recipes are included, along with logical and practical directions for making them successfully with your own creative cooking ideas!

Both the book and its dust jacket are in Very Good condition with only very light edge/corner wear. A previous owner's name is handwritten inside the front.

Great American Food Hoax
While food prices have been rising right through the supermarket roof, the nation's level of nutrition has steadily declined. So says Sidney Margolius, author of THE GREAT AMERICAN FOOD HOAX.

In this informative, hard-hitting book, the author quotes government and private studies to prove his disclosures. The finger points straight at a government-manufacturer alliance as influential as the military-industrial one. Its ‘Pentagon,’ says Margolius, is the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- nowadays often the chief apologist for high food prices.
As a consequence, the public pays up to ten times more than it should for many modern processed foods. These often are merely ordinary foods combined with flavorings and cheap fillers like fat, water, and sugar -- consumer-fooling practices that are perfectly legal.

If this book makes you angry -- or laugh -- it also can plug some gaping holes in your food budget. Filled with expert food shopping information, much of which you can't get elsewhere, it tells you how to recognize the few good buying options open to you. It can cut your food bill up to 20% . That's food for thought!

The 216-page hardbound book was published in this 1971 second printing by Walker & Co., New York. It is in Very Good condition – despite being ex lib with the usual library markings, there is no apparent damage to either the book or the mylar-protected dust jacket. (5868)
