About the Author:

Lindsey Bareham made her name as a restaurant critic and food writer. Twenty years of reviewing many of the best and some of the worst restaurants provided her with a unique background for cookery writing. Lindsey's ten cookery books include In Praise of the Potato, A Celebration of Soup, The Big Red Book of Tomatoes and Just One Pot. She collaborated with Simon Hopkinson on Roast Chicken and Other Stories, which was voted the most useful cookery book ever by other chefs and food writers.

Lindsey was the Evening Standard's cookery columnist for eight years. She is now a freelance food writer and broadcaster, currently writing the weekly 'Cheat's Dinner Party' column in the Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine and contributing a monthly recipe column to Saga Magazine.

Synopsis:

Onions are a universal ingredient, appearing in food internationally, and one that can be treated and cooked in myriad ways. The allium family comprizes onions - bulb onion, red onion, spring onions or scallions, Welsh holtzers, leeks - the mild member of the family - chives and garlic. This book explores the diversity of the allium family, including a melange of cooking techniques and tips, appropriate equipment, anecdote, history, and recipes from around the world and from favourite chefs. This is an ideal companion to the author's previous book, "In Praise of the Potato".
