Cooking is awesome. If I thought any differently I’d be in the wrong job, but (I hope!) you share my joy in taking a bunch of raw ingredients, applying heat to them and creating something greater than the sum of its parts.
Cooking isn’t just a fun thing to do, though – it’s a set of skills you can keep adding to. That’s why this month ’s mag is one of my all-time favourites – see below right for some exciting news. We’re going big on skills. Not in a stale back-to-school way, but via lots of flavour-packed recipes. Even the most basic salad puts your knife skills to the test, but our deep dive into three classic dishes (p48) teaches you a whopping 12 techniques that’ll benefit your cooking as a whole.
