And other ideas include: * A simple trick, like shredding chicken breast to coat it more evenly in a flavorful sauce, produces delicious recipes like Vietnamese Chicken Salad with Sweet Lime-Garlic Dressing. * A tip for building all-day flavour with a weeknight pasta sauce is used in Malaysian-Style Noodles with Pork and Mushrooms. * And show off a set of transformational principles for quicker, more flavourful stews with Spanish Chorizo, Ham and White Bean Stew. Each of these modern classic dishes features a full-page photograph alongside step-by-step photography and clear instructions to make it perfect every time.
