I can't tell you how long I've dreamt about writing this book. It's the biggest book I've ever done, and I've tried to make it a timeless, modern-day classic. Whether you're a student, a young couple, an established cook or a novice, I'll take you through a whole load of simple recipes that will blow the socks off your family and any guests you might have round for dinner. There's information on the equipment that I think you should have, advice on how to recognize and cook different cuts of meat, as well as on how to get the best value and quality when you're out shopping.
