About this title

Synopsis:

The perfect cookbook for anyone who has ever yearned to cook more creatively - but wasn't quite sure how to go about it without making a mess of things, this book will guide readers on how to adapt a recipe to suit perfectly the requirements of his or her senses. With this exciting new approach to creative cooking, all cooks can give classic recipes their own signature style. To paraphrase a Zen precept - recipes open the door, but you must enter by yourself!

Review:

"Naimer...combines her own Zen philosophy with the creative impulses of Wolfgang Puck to encourage her pupils to think for themselves and create dishes that go beyond slavish repetition of mere lists of commands and fixed inventories of ingredients." - Booklist; "If ever a book could teach creativity, this makes a solid attempt, providing dishes which can be easily 'converted' into variations and including plenty of practical tips on how to achieve balance and success." - Midwest Book Review
