The first edition of the Edmonds Cookery Book was published over ninety years ago, and for the best part of a century Edmonds has maintained its reputation for presenting tasty, everyday recipes that are easy to prepare.Now the Edmonds team has brought together an exciting range of recipes that are geared towards the growing number of New Zealanders that choose to go flatting. Cooking with or for flatmates can be a challenging experience and one that is guaranteed to put both the imagination and the wallet to the test. The average flatting kitchen may lack the latest utensils and equipment, the shopping list may be seriously constrained by the weekly budget, and the level of the collective cookery skills may be at the "early development" stage. However, none of this need deter the flatter who wants to eat well every day and even impress friends and family on the odd special occasion. Food for Flatters not only provides a wide selection of delicious ideas for meals and snacks. It also contains practical advice on how to make the most of the flatting kitchen – what basic utensils are needed, what ingredients to keep regularly in the pantry and how to organise the kitchen space to ease the pressure when preparing a meal. It includes an easy–to–follow section on understanding food, which promises to be a much–used reference for the relative novice to cooking, and even for the more advanced chef. Ingredients, both the essential and not–so–ordinary, are explained and there are also handy suggestions of what to use when you run out of a key item. Food for Flatters will guide you through the trickiest culinary situations and provide you with essential cooking skills – from knowing how to cook pasta and rice to perfection, to ensuring meat is always cooked just to your taste, to providing your party guests with tasty nibbles and delicacies. Scattered throughout the book are creative tips to help save time and money, boost confidence and set even the most inexperienced cook on a path to expertise in the kitchen. Over 200 easy–to–prepare recipes in the trusted Edmonds style cater for all meals and occasions, from breakfast and brunch, snacks and salads, soups and starters to pasta and rice. The culinary tastes and dietary preferences of all flatmates are catered for in the chapters on main meals with meat, fish and shellfish and vegetarian dishes. Those flatters with a sweet tooth will really enjoy the chapters devoted to desserts and cakes and baking, while the romantics will just love the Dinner for Two chapter with its menus and recipes for creating that fabulously impressive meal for your "special person". A Christmas Feast and Party Food present both innovative and traditional recipes that will allow the flatting cook to impress their guests with their style and skill. Edmonds continues to provide New Zealanders with a core repertoire of culinary skills and recipes. Food for Flatters is destined to become a must ¼have in all flatting kitchens, combining as it does fresh and funky recipes with great presentation ideas and good old–fashioned advice. We hope you enjoy cooking from this book. The Edmonds Team, January 2001
