Winner of the James Beard Foundation Book Award

From the perfect pot roast to the fragrant complexity of braised endive, there's no food more satisfying than a well-braised dish.

Description

The art of braising comes down to us from the earliest days of cooking, when ingredients were enclosed in a heavy pot and buried in the hot embers of a dying fire until tender and bathed in a deliciously concentrated sauce. Today, braising remains as popular and as uncomplicated as ever.

Molly Stevens's All About Braising is a comprehensive guide to this versatile way of cooking, written to instruct a cook at any level. Everything you need to know is here, including:

a thorough explanation of the principles of good braising with helpful advice on the best cuts of meat, the right choice of fish and vegetables, and the right pots
125 reliable, easy-to-follow recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables, ranging from quick-braised weeknight dishes to slow-cooked weekend braises
planning tips to highlight the fact that braised foods taste just as good, if not even better, as leftovers
a variety of enlightened wine suggestions for any size pocketbook with each recipe

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Molly Stevens's All About Braising is highly acclaimed for its clear instructions and the ability to make complex braised dishes with ease, as highlighted by Deborah Madison. Alton Brown praises Stevens for breaking down the complexities of braising with her technical skill and teaching prowess. Anne Willan considers it a definitive guide to sumptuous one-pot meals and predicts it will become invaluable in any kitchen. Judy Rodgers emphasises the book's friendly advice and insightful tips that promise to elevate one's cooking skills.
