Good tempered food - Tamasin Day-Lewis

GOOD TEMPERED FOOD is quiet, unhurried, unchaotic cooking to be savoured with its natural accompaniments - conversation, music and a glass

of wine.

This book is filled with the food we love to eat and cook, and is all about reuniting yourself with a sense of pleasure in the kitchen, rediscovering that 'slow' and 'time taken' doesn't mean difficult.

Tamasin shows how to make your cooking life easier by preparing food in advance (such as leisurely cooked casseroles and mashed potatoes which stay perfect in the fridge for four days) and explains how to coordinate instructions and timing when planning and preparing.

It's about enjoying the process of cooking from conception, gestation, picking, plucking, peeling, preparing and waiting. GOOD TEMPERED FOOD is what proper cooking is all about.
