My Kind of Cooking is Mark Sargeant's exciting introduction to food that few people usually consider, or have the confidence to cook. It is also a very personal book with Mark applying his Michelin-starred skills to childhood, favourite, fun and newly developed dishes.
The book concentrates on the cheaper cuts of meat and types of fish, giving cooking techniques and 120 recipes to get the best out of them. Supermarkets are starting to introduce cuts such as oxtail, pork cheeks and beef flank in the aisles. Mark shows us how to use these fantastic pieces of meat, with recipes that make them as delicious and tender as the prime cuts, but at a less than prime price. He also uses a lot of the less expensive, and sustainable, fish which are becoming more widely available.
The current financial climate means we've all had to tighten our belts, but this doesn't mean we need to forego fabulous and tasty food. Sarge is passionate about getting the best out of the best produce, getting back to basics in the kitchen and showing that everyone can delight their palate whilst watching the pennies.
