Cooking Without Recipes by Philip Dundas
Learn to cook by instinct, without the need for recipes Do you envy people who seem to be able to cook with effortless ease? Have you ever wanted to cook like your mother, bringing an endless variety of meals to the table without ever looking at a recipe book? Do you want to be inspired in the kitchen again, and just by opening the fridge door concoct a feast from nothing but a few leftovers, a squeeze of lemon and some fresh air? Then look no further. Cooking without Recipes will show you how. Using the right implements, shopping with confidence, and stocking up on essential ingredients you will acquire the instinct needed to prepare your favourite dishes from your own creativity and imagination. Contents: Foreword by Simon Callow; Introduction; Starting from Scratch; The Kitchen Essentials; Working with Ingredients; Success in Your Kitchen; A Survival Guide to Shopping; Cooks and Their Books; Index.
'Cooking without Recipes liberates you from the tyranny of someone else's culinary imaginationDo your own thing, it says; listen to the food, listen to your stomach and your palate; let cooking become second nature. It is the book my grandmother would have written if she had known how to frame a sentence, which Philip Dundas certainly does. Read, inwardly digest, then throw the book away. This is the first day of the rest of your life in the kitchen.' From the foreword by Simon Callow 'In his book, Philip Dundas outlines a kitchen philosophy that recommends a good basic understanding of food and utensils, combined with a willingness to experiment.' The Mail on Sunday (You)
Philip has a food blog called PipsDish and runs a pop-up restaurant of the same name. Cooking without recipes was inspired by teaching his elderly, widowed father to cook. It is dedicated to all those people who are fed up with lists and measurements and want to learn to cook what they like to eat, from the heart.
