Kitchenella: the heroic feminine cook. The continuing story of the rise & fall of good food finds us at the end of a decade of exceptional growth & opportunity, yet once again in crisis. We believe in food icons & celebrity chefs, but their philosophies are no longer convincing, because they cannot possibly understand the predicament of the average family, living through recession & trying to do it right in the kitchen. Where are the cooks with wit, who work out the budget & plan an easy dish that efficiently feeds family & friends? Full of logical, economical & imaginative recipes that solve the modern cook's dilemma, Kitchenella will teach you the skills of those teachers who work without books, the 'mothers' & the cooks who subsequently learned from them, to decisively show you the easy way to cook & shop. Promoting a modest, simple way to cook, Kitchenella shows cooking is not about showing off & extravagance, but generosity & kindness; a subtle & intelligent way to nurture. It is cooking that is economically sustainable & achievable. It has its roots in the learned, spirited cooking of generations, food that can claim to have helped win wars & saved lives; a style of cooking that is still relevant today, by practically addressing the struggles of modern cooks, both men & women. The ambition to cook is a fantasy for many, yet Kitchenella shows how the everyday struggle to put food on the table can be transformed into cooking that is clever & beautiful. ...
