Don't Sweat the Aubergine

Don't Sweat the Aubergine by Nicholas Clee
Published by Black Swan, 2012


Apparently, on average, people cook no more than two dishes from each cookbook they buy. Why? Because most of the other recipes seem just too daunting. Here is a book that answers the questions you always want to ask and solves those frustrating kitchen conundrums - why do some writers tell you to wash and soak rice before cooking while others never mention it? Why won't mince 'brown' the way they tell you? Will an aubergine really taste better if you sweat it with salt first? This book has the answers.
