If you have ever cooked a steak medium-well instead of medium-rare, a chicken that ends up dry, a stew that's tough or stringy or a rack of ribs that fall too much off the bone then this book will make your life that little bit better. This is a step-by-step guide to cooking meat at the temperatures and times that get the best results. There's no need for fancy equipment, a team of chefs or a cooking diploma. You just need this book and some patience. Includes metric measures.
