New to Cooking by Lesley Waters

New to Cooking is the book for you. Cookery teacher and TV chef Lesley Waters guides you through all the basic principles and skills of cooking, giving you the confidence to take real pleasure in preparing food for yourself, family and friends. It isn't about long hours in the kitchen, complicated recipes and fiddly ingredients --life is too short! Cooking should be simple, liberating and most of all, fun. Lesley starts by providing a list of must-have utensils and essential pantry ingredients. Then she introduces you to basic techniques like boiling, poaching, steam, microwaving, frying, braising, roasting and baking. Once you have mastered these skills, you can move on to recipes for weekday dinners for one, lavish dinners for friends and lots more. Ideas include Tomato Tapenade Salad, Rich Red Bell Pepper and Bean Soup, Mediterranean Fish Stew, Coq au Vin, Mushroom, Leek and Thyme Puff Pies, Hot Whisky Pancakes with Raspberries, and Coconut and Lime Ice Cream.

Lesley Waters is a well-known cookery writer and TV chef, author of many books, former Head Tutor of Leiths, proud owner of Lesley Waters Cookery School in Dorset and well known for her regular television appearances on Ready Steady Cook, Great Food Live and This Morning. Lesley is also a qualified Fitness Instructor and mother of two.

Originally a Londoner born and bred, Lesley was quickly charmed by the beauty of the West Dorset countryside and the superb quality of the fresh local produce available right on her doorstep. She likes to cook seasonal food whenever possible and her simple, modern dishes are easy to recreate with stunning results.

Lesley first became interested in dairy free when her mother developed lactose intolerance.
