I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of Marcus Wareing's new cookbook One Perfect Ingredient - three ways to cook it, a follow on from his successful How To Cook The Perfect which was released in 2007. The cookbook is all about taking one simple everyday ingredient, using a simple recipe and ending up with great home cooking. My kind of cookery!
To say the cookbook was inspiring is an understatement. Within 30 min of me receiving the book I was in the kitchen whipping up the gingerbread on p188. As you can see from the photo below, it was delicious and perfect with a cuppa.
I love the way the book is split up into sections with my personal favourite being "store cupboard". There is great recipes throughout the book using everyday ingredients in a different way. For example with the humble carrot he makes makes Carrot & Coriander Galette, Three-Carrot Salad with Feta and a Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting; all of which sound delicious. The photos accompanying the recipes are mouthwatering.
To have a chance of winning a copy of One Perfect Ingredient pop along to Maninas: Food Matters. Be quick the competition closes on the 7th April.

I flicked through the book at Borders the other day and very much liked what I saw. I've already entered the competition, so fingers crossed. The gingerbread looks yummy, dense but moist.
ReplyDeleteAnother book to add to my wishlist! I'm going to check this out next time I'm in town at Waterstones. It looks like a book my collection needs! ;o) The gingerbread looks delish.
