Delia's How to Cook

by Delia Smith

Delias How to Book Two continues Delia's simple-to-follow teaching course for people of all ages and abilities. With her unique powers of communication, Delia removes the fear and mystique from cooking both the simplest and the more advanced dishes. For those who have mastered the techniques and for those who are already accomplished cooks, How to Book Two contains 120 new recipes, from Roast Lamb in a Shrewsbury Sauce to Fresh Pecan and Almond Crumble. The book and television series feature the following ten The Store Cupboard; Fish; Meat; Poultry; Vegetables; Salads; Dairy Produce; Fruit; Cheese; and Chocolate. How to Cook is a complete guide to cookery for the 21st century. Delia shares not only her vast experience but also her extensive knowledge of English cooks, such as Eliza Acton. This tradition is combined with the latest advances and innovations in cooking during the last 20 years.

My old paper backs are a little tired now, but I keep them as the originally belonged to my Mum. Was happy to buy these when they were republished.
