How to Repair Food, Third Edition



For the distressed cook, How to Repair Food is a handy tool for finding kitchen substitutions (need sweet cream but only have sour?), fixing the unexpected (brown sugar turned to concrete?), dealing with uncooperative ingredients (onions making you weep?), coping with culinary mishaps (gravy cooked up lumpy?), and rescuing dishes from the brink of disaster (brussels sprouts almost dead from overcooking?).
     How to Repair Food was first published in 1970 and was revised and given its current title in 1998. More than 100,000 copies later--and in honor of its 40th anniversary--the book is once again refreshed to keep apace with trends in food and cooking, including the shift toward healthful eating, employing fresh and organic ingredients, and reducing kitchen waste. An all-new section on coping with holiday disasters comes to the cook's aid just when he or she needs it most.

THE BEST-LAID PLANS OFTEN GO AWRY . . . especially in the kitchen. When you’re faced with one of those inevitable cooking calamities--be it a sinking soufflé, salty soup, or stuck-together pasta--How to Repair Food has the answers and advice you need to get your meal back on track. First published in 1970 and now with more than 100,000 copies in print, this kitchen classic has been completely revised and updated to serve a new generation of home cooks.
 
 
NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION:
 
• Hints on lowering fat and sodium.
• Ways to integrate wholesome and organic ingredients.
• Tips for reducing kitchen waste.
• Ideas for coping with holiday and other special-occasion dinner debacles.
 
Filled with witty, accessible, and often ingenious solutions to mishaps that befall even the best of cooks, the alphabetical listings (from Abalone to Zucchini) are designed to rescue any dish from the brink of disaster.

Praise for How to Repair Food, Third Edition

  • "The greatest lift comes from the authors' encouraging, soothing tone: they combine the practicality of Heloise with the humor of Dr. Ruth." --Publishers Weekly
