Easy, Everyday And Adventurous Recipes For The Home Cook.

Curtis Stone, a chef with impeccable credentials, is a master at developing recipes for the home cook.

In this book, his mission is to celebrate fresh seasonal ingredients, to stir up a passion for using them innovatively, and to demystify the techniques needed for cooking with them.

He has chosen a mix of traditional favourites (lamb, chocolate, rhubarb) plus more unusual fare (scallops, vanilla, truffles) - the kind of food that gets chosen from restaurant menus time and again, but that few people know how to prepare at home. The unique three-step approach offers a simple, a standard and a more challenging recipe for each basic ingredient, so that kitchen confidence is built gradually. Everyone should be able to master the basics - the simple recipes usually feature just five ingredients and four or five steps of preparation. The challenge is to take it further and successfully prepare restaurant-style food in the home kitchen.

With useful chef's tips and pictures of every recipe to whet the appetite, Curtis carefully develops the reader's cooking confidence so that even beginners will find themselves with an impressive repertoire of knock-out dishes before long.

About the Author: Curtis Stone

Curtis is an Australian chef and has hosted several TV shows including Take Home Chef and Surfing The Menu. He was trained in the UK under the tutelage of Marco Pierre White. He worked his way up until Marco made him Head Chef of the acclaimed Quo Vadis in Soho. During this four year stint he was approached by a publisher to be included in a book about London's finest, titled 'London On A Plate'. This led to an agent and further media opportunities.
After appearing in a number of British TV shows, in 2003 he started on Surfing The Menu (with Ben O'Donahue) for ABC Australia, along with a tie-in book of the same name.
It was Take Home Chef in 2007 that propelled him to fame in the US. This success led People magazine to vote him as one of the sexiest men alive.
Curtis espouses the simple things in life, noticing when a child, that food was the link that brought family and friends together. He describes cooking as 'one of life's great pleasures'.
