Home Style Indian Cooking Demystified #1 Best Seller in Indian and Professional Cooking With an amazing compilation of over 100 delectable Indian dishes, many of which you can't get in any Indian restaurant for love or for money, this is unlike any other Indian Cook book. What this book focuses on is What Indians eat every day in their homes. It then in a step-by-step manner makes this mysterious, never disclosed, "Home Style" Indian cooking accessible to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of cooking and a stomach for adventure. Prasenjeet Kumar, the corporate lawyer turned gourmand, explores The contours of what sets Indian "Home Style" food so apart from restaurant food. In his uniquely semi-autobiographical style, he starts with his quest for Indian food in London, wonders why his European friends don't have such a "strange" debate between "Home Style" and "Restaurant" food, and learns that the whole style of restaurant cooking in India is diametrically opposed to what is practiced in Indian homes with respect to the same dish. You may like this book if: * You are an Indian pining for a taste of your home food anywhere in the world, including India. * You are an Indian, reasonably adept in your own regional cuisine, for example, South Indian cuisine, but want to learn about the "Home Style" culinary traditions of the Eastern and Northern India as well. You are NOT an Indian but you love Indian cuisine and have wondered if someone could guide you through the maze of spices that Indians use, and help you tame down the oil and chilli levels of many of their dishes.

Researching the history of Authentic Mexican (Pre-Columbian) Cuisine arts is a challenge. There are so many different styles of cooking, from so many different regions, tribes and available ingredients, that people confuse Mexican Food with American Fast Food Mexican like Taco Bell. Sadly, there is so little similarity to American corporate restaurant cooking and the true flavors are rarely seen in English-speaking countries. We went on a search for recipes throughout all of Mexico. Recipes that were at least 200 years old, some going back over 500 years, and the result is Abuela's Secrets. Our team went straight to our grandmothers, in different regions to get recipes that were handed down, generation to generation to present day. Learn the natural way to cook, to prepare chile, make masa for tortillas, and make your own mole and other sauces. Cook beef, pork, shrimp, and others to their delicate and delightful flavors known only to families in Mexico. Time-honored recipes from every region will make your family believe that you have an authentic Mexican restaurant. right in your own home. Recipes include: Rice, Sauces, Eggs, Beans, Breads, and regional dishes from every part of Mexico.

This book was written for people with little or no cooking experience. Most of the recipes are for two people but the recipes can be scaled up. Exotic spices and other ingredients were avoided to keep the cost down and preparation simple, but flavor was not sacrificed. Many of the newly emancipated take the easy way out by eating out. But a steady diet of fast foods, Roach Coach cuisine, restaurant cooking or just plain grocery store frozen meals is unhealthy. A continuous diet of these foods taxes your body with unhealthy amounts of sugar, salt or fat. This "Trinity of Hell" is used to enhance flavor but over time it can have a devastating effect on the body. Part of the key to a long, healthy life is proper nourishment and that's what this book is all about. Exercise also plays a part but that can be achieved through physical labor, outdoor activity, or trips to the gym. This book covers these subjects, in enough detail, to keep you smiling for life. Pleasure can be achieved while avoiding the "Trinity of Hell".This book gives you delicious recipes, instructions on how to cook, background material on how to cook, and diet information on how to eat for health. Included are: Recipes. - For everything from casseroles to Thanksgiving dinner, and many in between. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and appetizers. Meats, salads, breads and sandwiches are also covered. Recipes include Tamale Pie, Cassoulet, stuffed turkey, Pizza, Chili and beans, Jambalaya, Portuguese Bean Soup, Ambrosia, desserts and candy. Guidelines. - How to prepare food, rules for food handling and preparation, food storage, shelf life of foods, seasonings, a glossary, and substitutions. How to cook. - Detailed instructions for using the stove top, oven, baking, broiling, roasting, slow cooker, steam cooking, pressure cooking, and the Bar-B-Que grill.

In a series of in-depth interviews with some of the most exciting, acclaimed and innovative UK chefs, including Simon Rogan (L'Enclume, Cartmel, and Fera at Claridge's, London), Mary Ellen McTague (Aumbry, Manchester), Neil Rankin (The Smokehouse, London) and Gary Usher (Sticky Walnut, Chester), the book details the harsh realities of being a chef, the astonishing hard work it takes to make it to the top, and reveals the secrets of creating delicious restaurant dishes. Kingdom of Cooks is a must-read for foodies, professional chefs and anyone who has ever dined in a restaurant and wondered just what goes on behind the kitchen door. The interviews take the reader behind the scenes of some of the most famous kitchens in the country to show what it's really like paying your dues working for chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal and Jamie Oliver. The book also documents an important moment in the history of British restaurant cooking where the eclecticism first mooted by the modern British movement of the late 80's meets the locavore imperative of the 21st century to create a truly distinctive style of British food for the mid-2010's.The chefs talk about their careers, their cooking styles and the techniques and ingredients that help set them apart from the crowd. Individual signature dishes, such as Chris Harrod of The Crown at Whitebrook's suckling pig with celeriac, pear and woodland sorrel, are discussed in detail, and you'll learn everything from how to make the perfect pork crackling to how to use every last scrap of a fish, literally down to the last scale. Each chef has contributed a recipe - these include partridge, burnt heather, celeriac, watercress and chanterelles by Ben Radford of Timberyard in Edinburgh; Neil Rankin's Smokehouse short rib Bourguignon; and salt-baked beetroot, smoked eel, lettuce and chicken skin by Stephen Toman of OX in Belfast. Contact details for all 13 establishments are included in the book, covering England, Scotland, Wales and

In 1959, Chef Pasquale Carpino arrived in the U.S. from Calabria in southern Italy with eight dollars in his pocket, a guitar on his back and very few words of English. "Pasquale's Kitchen Express" was the #1 rated daytime television program on the Discovery Channel from 1990-1992. Chef Pasquale rose to international fame as the "singing chef" by entertaining the audience with renditions of his favorite opera arias and Neopolitan fishing songs. In between cooking, he shares his belief that, "Mama is the best chef," and "The best restaurant in the world is home." Chef Pasquale's philosophy of the "la cucina expressa" is to cook a full-course meal for four people in less than 30 minutes. His dishes call for ample use of sauces, fresh herbs and wine. Homemade chicken stock is added to almost all dishes, as are liberal amounts of cheese, and, of course - lots of garlic! Chef Pasquale believes that no food should be wasted, finding imaginative ways to use everyday ingredients. "If I sing when I cook, the food is going to be happy!" - Chef Pasquale Carpino..

A famous chef finds his position at a renowned restaurant threatened by a young hotshot who specializes in chemically enhanced cuisine, and partners with a self-taught gourmet to save his failing career. Alexandre Lagarde (Jean Reno) is the king of the kitchen at Cargo Lagarde. But his position at the top is threatened when scheming CEO Stanislas Matter (Julien Boisselier) plots to have the restaurant's rating lowered in order to make room for an ambitious young chef with more modern sensibilities. Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse for the old pro when he runs out of new ideas as Matter begins trimming his kitchen staff. Just when it seems that all hope is lost, however, Legarde meets Jacky Bonnot (Michaël Youn), a young cook whose creativity in the kitchen makes up for his lack of formal training. Together with his talented new assistant Bonnot, Legarde prepares to whip up an exciting menu just in time to impress the discerning critics from the Guide, and save his sinking career. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Had British-born Chef April Bloomfield not been drinking with her mates the night before the application to the police academy was due, she might not have overslept and missed her chance to join the force. Had things worked out as planned, however, the culinary world would be devoid of one of the most innovative chefs in a generation. Chef Bloomfield owns and operates three restaurants in New York City - The Breslin, John Dory, and Salvation Taco, and is in the process of opening her first out of New York City spot in San Francisco called Tosca. Over the course of 8 episodes we will watch April wrestle with the demands of opening a restaurant, test menu ideas, obsess over ingredients and techniques, and cook with her mentors and contemporaries. Episodes include: "Restaurateur", "London", "Italian", "Sea/Salt", "Curry", "British Classics", "Cooking with Farmer Tom Adams" and "Leftovers". Caesar Cocktail with Chef Anita Lo, Making Pasta with Chief Michael Tusk. Subtitles: English SDH (Subtitles for Deaf and Hearing Impaired).
