The Cook’s Apprentice is one of those keep-forever cookbooks that will become an essential tool in the kitchen, its pages blotted and dirtied with ingredients over time. The first chapters deal with cooking techniques and take new foodies through skills from how to blind-bake pastry and carve a leg of lamb to chopping onions and timing a meal. An A-Z section will take you through all the ingredients mentioned in the recipes. And then there are more than 300 recipes, from simple dishes such as five-ingredient butter-and-rocket pasta sauce to more complex examples such as Thai steamed fish.
