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

by RoniJay (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Author Bio
Roni Jay is a professional writer. What few people realise, least of all those who have tasted her cooking, is that she is also a trained chef. OK, so it was 25 years ago. Still, a little knowledge is a wonderful thing, and in this case it has given Roni both the ability to cock-up in the kitchen and the knowledge to cover up her mistakes.
