Recipes for Disasters : How to Turn Kitchen Cock-Ups into Magnificent Meals

by Roni Jay

Recipes for Disasters is all about how to cope when you have friends for dinner and suddenly everything goes wrong in the kitchen - you burn the meat, or you forgot to turn the oven on, or the pudding won't turn out, or the meringues have gone soggy. The book takes a light hearted but deeply practical look at solving the kind of problems that most often crop up, and has quick-fix solutions to classic problems like lumpy mashed potatoes or curdled sauces. As well as last minute emergency measures, Recipes for Disasters promotes a new and creative approach to cooking that helps prevent cock-ups in future and shows the reader how to be more laid back in the kitchen.
