In this fun and entertaining recipe book without any recipes, Ottolenghi co-writer Tara Wigley equips you with rhymes and confidence to cook great food instinctively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Melted butter on hot toast and served up on a plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt seems like nothing, really, could be clearer or more straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut though, in terms of things required, the number is just two,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethere is a lot of wiggle room for what there is to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Cook and author Tara Wigley had been to cookery school, read hundreds of cookbooks and developed recipes for over a decade. Yet she found the fewer the ingredients in a recipe, the more confusion there was about how best to make it. The result is How to Butter Toast, a collection of rhymes that will enlighten and entertain, reassure and ultimately liberate the culinarily confused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The rhymes provide reassuring  and memorable  answers to the culinary conundrums we often face: How long should I boil an egg? Whats the best way to crush garlic? How do I make mayonnaise, a martini or indeed the perfect cup of tea? Taras playful take on these food quandaries seems effortless but belies her knowledgeable and carefully researched approach to cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Beautifully packaged with bold and witty illustrations throughout, How to Butter Toast is the perfect gift for cooks of all levels. This is the first book in a series Tara is publishing with Pavilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I can't think of many food authorities who can string together words which are as poignant and profound as they are entertaining and ear-pleasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYotam Ottolenghi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  A total joy. Part Dr Seuss, part Ogden Nash, part Julia Child, 100% inspired and inspiring Samin Nosrat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fun and wise, Tara manages to capture the kinds of the things we cogitate about  sometimes without even knowing!  and provides reassuring answers to those confusing everyday conundrums. A collection for when you are weary of recipes and cooking, but not of life itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Helen Goh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Those who have followed her ditties on Insta since Lockdown will be delighted, but the detail, the skill, the Ballymaloe cookery school training, the years as co-writer with Yotam at Ottolenghi will save serious cooks a fortune in cookery school fees. How she manages to explain chemistry in rhyme is little short of genius.
