  There is no escaping the fact that if we crave comfort food or want to indulge ourselves with something tasty, we're probably talking 'deep fried', The good news is that deep fried food needn't be taboo. Deep-frying turns up in every global cuisine - India has samosas, oriental nations prize their tempura and spring rolls, Americans enjoy corn dogs and fried chicken, and European deep-fried treats range from French beignets and Italian fritto misto to traditional British fish and chips. As with all cooking methods, how you deep-fry is all-important. If the frying oil is too cool, the food will be heavy and greasy, too hot and it will be undercooked inside. And what kind of cooking oil you use is important too. The recipes in this book aim to show you that deep-fried food can be part of a sensible, balanced diet, it needn't be over-rich and unhealthy but light, crisp, tasty and delicious. So let's get frying tonight!
