Product Information

When making dishes with mince such as cottage pie, bolognese, lasagne and so on, you can substitute half of the mince for lentils – this way the meal will be healthy and also cheaper, making your mince go twice as far. Rich and rib-sticking, Antony Worrall Thompson’s slow-cooked beef bourguignon is well worth the wait. In the meantime though, Emma bought a copy of Antony’s Slow Cooking by Antony Worrall Thompson and tried this recipe, which she liked so much she passed it on to me.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Antony last year (see below) and liked what I heard; he’s hard-working and compassionate and does a huge amount for numerous animal Charities.

I love runner beans and always pick them when they are young and tender; they are good with almonds or fennel seeds and bacon of course. All pressure cookers tested can be used on a gas hob; usable capacity is the maximum amount of food that can be cooked in one go. Both methods allow you to save not only home-and-hungry time but also money, because they're ideal for tenderising cheaper, tougher, less fashionable cuts of meat.By translating oven and stovetop cooking times into slow-cooker settings in one small and simple chart, he has provided no less than a holy grail to home cooks. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there’s something for every literary palate. This is one of three cookbooks that I read recently where there wasn't one recipe I would consider trying. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and brown the chops and kidneys all over, then set aside. You preheat it, put in your vegetables, followed by meat (sealed in a pan first) or chicken, and then add boiling water.

I decided I had so many recipe books that I rarely used and wanted to try some of the recipes rather than sticking to the same few I use every time. Antony Worrall Thompson is a hugely successful author, having sold in excess of 490,000 copies of his range of books in the UK to date.
