Fundamental
Theoretical Considerations
This cookbook
is different.
Instead of text
it uses cartoons
This means that
you see
-
which pots, implements etc.
to use
-
what can be done in parallel
-
how the various intermediate
products get merged together
-
the ingredients when they
are used
(rather
than as a list at the beginning - nowhere near their use)
-
recognise the recipes
immediately while thumbing through
(unlike
text recipes which all look the same)
-
clear, unambiguous notation
(like
critical-path diagrams, formulae for weights, cooking times etc.)
-
hints and tests to ensure
success
(like the famous Hoi-Sin-Sauce
comparison)
-
It’s more fun and
colourful
Lots of advantages !
So instead of having
one finger in the recipe text, one on the list of ingredients, and two arms at
the stove you see everything clearly laid out for you so you can use both hands
for cooking.
The recipes have been
gleaned from various sources (mainly friends, restaurants and other –
inferiour – cookbooks), then optimised to maximise pleasure whilst stripping
away any unnecessary effort (compare our Peking Duck recipe to the original!).
Finally all have been tested until they are „bug“-free. We use them every
day.
If you like it, you can order a copy from my shop which will be produced just for you using the wonders of print-on-demand technology.
