Introduction

This collection is all about tips I have gathered over the years from family, friends, publications, odd errors I have made and some experiments. I hope some of these prove useful for any cook, be they experienced or not.

I have included cooking methods and terms in case you are not familiar with them, as so often you come across them in cookbooks. This is not a recipe book, although I have added the odd unusual recipe which one wouldn't normally come across.

I have found that keeping a notebook or a digital record with an index of recipes that I have served up, with the name of the cookbook and page number, has proved a useful aide memoire.

Where to find it

Onions Without Tears is available at Fred Duncannon's Stansted Park Farm Shop.
