Creative Cuisine and the Everyday Cook: Cooking Inspiration from Classic Techniques and Available Ingredients

By C Steven Larue

In spite of its wealth of complexity, cooking in all cultures and traditions relies on a few basic tools, principles, and techniques. Based on more than two decades of experience creating meals for family and friends, the author has concentrated on the relationship between ingredients and basic cooking techniques to arrive at his own versions of various traditional dishes inspired by a number of culinary cultures. As a result, the recipes given here are guidelines rather than rigid instructions, with frequent suggestions for variation, innovation, and creation. More a philosophy than a set of rules, Creative Cuisine seeks to inspire creativity in the everyday cook through basic techniques and widely available ingredients.
