In her latest "Good Home" installment, Good Home Cooking, Diana Peacock provides numerous healthy-eating tips along with her detail-oriented recipes. Author of Good Home Baking and Good Home Preserving, the author supplies a guide for healthier eating habits, choosing fresh foods, and advocates against eating out or ordering in on a regular basis.
Cooking at home is not only economical, but also can be an enjoyable process for the whole family. Peacock admits that good home cooking, especially for those who have made a culture out of eating out, might seem initially daunting; however, she adamantly points out that "there will come a time when you'll be glad you are able to make your own food and not have to rely on meals prepared by people you don't know."
Moreover, Good Home Cooking encourages readers to take a risk and just dive right into one of the recipes. Peacock acknowledges that she and her family have made mistakes during the cooking process, but it did not derail their passion for cooking. Instead, it led to new and unique recipes that perhaps would never have been discovered.
Good Home Cooking has detailed, step-by-step recipes ranging from vegetable stock and dairy products to take-away and restaurant-style meals. It is, undoubtedly, a difficult task to make the time each day to devote to preparing a meal; yet, the result can be more satisfying and lead to a lifestyle of confidence in the kitchen.
There are countless cookbooks on the market, but Good Home Cooking stands alone, as it outlines everything you need to know in a clear manner so that food enthusiasts, be it beginner or advanced, can benefit from the start. Here's a sneak peek at one of the delicious recipes; this one is for a yummy and healthy muffin:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius/gas mark 5. Put some muffin-sized paper cases into a muffin tin.
Step 2: Sift the flour and cocoa powder together into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and raisins.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, oil and vanilla together.
Step 4: Fold the egg mixture into the flour and stir in the milk and courgettes.
Step 5: Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
These go well topped with cream cheese frosting.
Good Home Cooking is a great gift to give to college students who are away from home, or even new brides who are learning to cook. Good Home Cooking is the perfect kitchen companion; it will teach you to love food and love preparing it.
