For any cook, illustrated step-by-step instructions that explain an unfamiliar technique or guide them through the crucial part of a recipe can be invaluable. "The Illustrated Step-by-Step Cook" recognizes the importance of this and in classic DK style includes a photographic sequence of more than 300 classic recipes, positioned alongside the recipe so the reader doesn't have to go searching for it in a separate techniques section. Particularly useful for relative beginners, by providing reassurance and demystifying methods that are new to them, the "Cook Step-by-Step" allows anybody to cook classic recipes perfectly and with confidence. Contents include starters & light bites, salads, meat free, one-pot, bread, spectacular desserts & more. Recipes come with prep time, serves, cook time & variations. Anne Willan gets a big tick for this superb "how to do it" resource (we have several of her excellent works including her 'Complete Cooking of France'. The intro section also gives you a snapshot of the finished dishes to help your meal choices. Very Good/None issued.
