While Delia
followers will find much here to stimulate, this is an excellent entry-level
book for those new to the doyenne of TV chefs. "The
Delia Collection: Fish" confines itself to the main categories:
white fish; salmon; trout; oily and other fish; and smoked fish. The recipes
varying from the concise, such as a very straightforward Fried Plaice Fillets,
to the more advanced (a mouth-watering preparation for Fillets of Sole
Véronique). A particularly attractive recipe is that for Smoked Salmon
Tart, which is an object lesson in concision and practicality - if the pastry
isn't - we're told - rising in the centre, we should prick it a couple of times
and press it back down with our hands. Instructions are as direct and
uncomplicated as one would expect and up-to-date conversion tables are
included, along with an impressive section on fish extras, making this an
invaluable and user-friendly guide. |
