In this “eating book” by James Barber you will find new twists on old favorites such as Hurry Curry, Lazy Manis Chicken, and Sort of Souffle. His amusing illustrations make for easy-to-follow instructions on how to make Pork Chop Sate, Oyster Stew, or Lamb Shanks. And even if you can’t pronounce Shio Yake, Piccaca di Vitello, or Matelote de Fevrier, you’ll have no problem whipping chem up for a satisfying meal anytime.
I’ve been using Fear of Frying for more than thirty years. Best and most thumbed book I’ve owned. Lovers, wives, three kids, friends and just for me. James Barber is the god’s gift to pure joy in the kitchen and around the table.
And it’s fun to read too!! Every time…
