These recipes include helpful advice other cookbooks assume you already know, and explain how to taste and season soups and stews as you go - one of the most valuable kitchen secrets any cook can learn. The shorter recipes and variations in each chapter encourage you to continue practicing your newfound skills, building your repertory and your confidence at the same time.
