Additional Details
Description: George Bradshaw is a very funny man who -- once upon a time -- didn't know "what was meant by a tablespoon of flour." He has since learned to cook in an assortment of places and kitchens from Algiers to Santa Barbara -- and from Ruth Norman. Most of the recipes in Cook Until Done are from her files.
Their collection is unconventional, sophisticated, and sensible. It will inspire cooks who can cook and cooks who can't. For once, here is a book that is truly entertaining, full of original ideas, and a boon to those who think they are helpless at the stove. Mr. Bradshaw is a lucid and witty writer who can even explain to you how to cook something until it is done -- properly done -- a matter of knowing what it is you are trying to do, regardless of how long a recipe may say you should boil an egg or simmer an all-day masterpiece.
