Lantern, an imprint of Penguin Books, 2004, 1126 pages ISBN-13: 9781920989002 A Review of The Cook's Companion from FoodTourist "The Cook's Companion by Stephanie Alexander is very aptly named. If you find a good cook in Australia, chances are you will find a copy of this book prominently displayed in the kitchen Many people write about food, but there are few true food writers. Only a handful combine a deep understanding of and appreciation for food and at the same time are able to convey a clear and concise message. Stephanie Alexander is one such writer. After running a succession of highly acclaimed restaurants in Melbourne, Stephanie gradually moved into food communication, writing a classic cookbook and making personal and media appearances to spread her messages about the importance of food and wine in daily life. First published in 1996, The Cook’s Companion has recently been revised, rewritten and re-released. Sub-titled The complete book of ingredients and recipes for the Australian kitchen, it now comprises a massive 1128 pages. Every page is packed with detailed, thoroughly researched information about products, techniques and detailed descriptions. Another feature is the photography by the talented Earl Carter. Stephanie displays her background as a librarian. The book is a careful catalogue of data gleaned from around the world which has been carefully catalogued, sorted, sifted and then packaged in a way that makes it accessible to everyone. We like the fact that she goes out of her way to acknowledge the sources of her recipes, generously mentioning hundreds of people from whom she has gained inspiration. The book is arranged in encyclopedia format - that is, by alphabetical order of products rather than the more traditional soup, main course, dessert format. This allows the author to explore the characteristics and uses of each product in much more detail than by using the more traditional approach. we have other items for sale from celebrity chefs
