Editorial Reviews

From the perfect pot roast to the fragrant complexity of braised endive, there's no food more satisfying than a well-braised dish.

The art of braising comes down to us from the earliest days of cooking, when ingredients were enclosed in a heavy pot and buried in the hot embers of a dying fire until tender and bathed in a deliciously concentrated sauce. Today, braising remains as popular and as uncomplicated as ever. Molly Stevens's All About Braising is a comprehensive guide to this versatile way of cooking, written to instruct a cook at any level. Everything you need to know is here, including:

a thorough explanation of the principles of good braising with helpful advice on the best cuts of meat, the right choice of fish and vegetables, and the right pots
125 reliable, easy-to-follow recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables, ranging from quick-braised weeknight dishes to slow-cooked weekend braises
planning tips to highlight the fact that braised foods taste just as good, if not even better, as leftovers
a variety of enlightened wine suggestions for any size pocketbook with each recipe
16 color photographs, 50 line drawings

excellent cook book

Customer Rating:

This is a really great cook book. The writing style is nice and the book has a nice collection of recipes. While some sections of the book err on the side of being a bit too wordy, I can't really fault the author for wanting to give a very detailed run down of how to braise.

I actually purchased this book in order to make better pot roast. It's one of the few books I've run across that really clearly explains braising and which provides a lot of good recipes that involve braising. With this book and a dutch oven, you can have a lot of fun in the kitchen for sure. When it comes to cooking meat, there are few methods that produce as good a result as braising. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to improve their recipes for ribs, pot roast, etc.

Wonderful

Customer Rating:

This book was everything I was hoping it would be. It was filled with easy to find ingredients and yummy receipes. Some will take time, but it was worth the wait!

Like a good date...

Customer Rating:

Like a good date, this book is easy and fun. I take it out as often as I can.

One of the best cookbooks I own...

Customer Rating:

The techniques presented in this book are simple yet spectacular. The discussions regarding some of the more subtle ingredients for building a braise (salt-packed anchovies, salt-packed capers, dried figs, etc.) are priceless. Additionally, the author presents great recipes from the Mediterranean to south east Asia. If you are serious about braising meat, this book is a great place to start.

A must have for cooking

This is a must have for anyone who likes to cook. I wasn't sure how much difference braising would make but figured I'd try it. Wow! once you try it you will never want to cook chiken or roasts any other way.
