Clay Pot Cooking
The recipes collected are representative of ancient cooking from many cultures. Traditional clay-pots from each culture are described. Each recipe has detailed, clear instructions. This is not a throw-the-ingredients-in-the-pot book. A number of the recipes are time consuming and require several cooking steps prior to adding all the ingredients to the clay-pot. Most clay-pot dishes bring to mind homey, comfort foods. These dishes have a fresh, lively nature. I think the secret to this is two-fold: the use of fresh ingredients and a lower cooking temperature than is called for in the classic clay-pot cookbooks. The food photography deserves praise too. |
The One-Pot and Clay-Pot Cookbook
The book does a thorough job of discussing the various types and techniques for cooking with glazed and unglazed clay pots. The clay pot recipes are divided into clearly numbered steps again accompanied most of the time by an illustration.
