I created Basic But Brilliant for keen home cooks to help liberate them from using recipes word for word. In a pro kitchen, simple techniques are employed to make the basics of a dish, then we choose our flavourings and apply them to the technique. Kind of like building blocks being pieced together to create a finished dish.
In Basic But Brilliant, I teach the reader how to make the technique then give instructions for flavouring options. Learn how to create delicious pesto's and butter sauces, starches like risotto and polenta, sweets like cheesecake, brulee and many more. Learn the technique then add you own innovative touches to ultimately create your own recipes.
