COOKING AT HOME (CLARKSON POTTER) (HB)

With a family to feed, professional chef Dave Chang faces the same challenges as any home cook: how to make something as delicious as possible, in the least amount of time possible, with as little mess as possible. This is Dave's guide to the culinary dark arts of substituting, adapting, shortcutting, and sandbagging, like par-cooking chicken in the microwave before blasting it with flavour in a four-minute stir-fry or a ten-minute stew - because he is as tired as you are of doing things the hard way.
