In it every recipe is illustrated, to help you in deciding what to cook. The measurements are given in metric and Imperial measures and the recipes are clearly set out. From the vast selection of carefully chosen and tested recipes you'll never run out of ideas for what to serve -whatever the occasion. If you are having guests, special demands are made on your cooking skills and imagination and this demand has been catered for in the first section which covers recipes for entertaining at home. Whether you're cooking country style and want to serve a delicious homely peasant meal, or entertaining on a grander scale, the recipes are here.The second section contains a selection of classic gourmet recipes for special occasions, which when prepared and served at home are certainly much less expensive than eating such dishes in a restaurant. We have to eat every day, so why not serve dishes which the family will really enjoy? In the section on cooking for every day you'll find a host of recipes which will bring variety, flavour and imagination to your daily fare. At some time in our lives most of us have to consider our waistlines so a section has been included on recipes for healthy eating. Here we have proved that you can consider the calories and still enjoy food. To guide you, the calorie counts have been given alongside each recipe so that you can pursue your gastronomic inclinations with a degree of moderation!Every cook wants to be able to produce delicious cakes and biscuits. Whether you are looking for something sweet or savoury, simple or more elaborate the section on home baking is your guide to baking for all occasions. The final recipe section is devoted to drinks, and it caters for those who have the odd bottle in the cupboard as well as those whose shelves are more abundantly stocked. In this section recipes are given for well known drinks as well as some for more unusual and adventurous concoctions.' There are punches for cold winter evenings, cups for summer parties, aperitifs and long drinks, In order to ensure that The Best of Cooking is as complete as possible we have given hints on the uses of herbs and spices in cooking, on the home freezing of dishes, which is fast becoming an accepted part of every cook's hfe, and on entertaining.We hope that this cookery book will bring you success and enjoyment in cooking and be one which you will use for many years to come.Arne Krüger Annette Wolter Christian Teubner
