Successful restaurateurs have always known that adding "roasted" to a
dish guarantees immediate appeal. Molly Stevens brings her trademark
thoroughness and eye for detail to the technique of roasting. She breaks
down when to use high heat, moderate heat, or low heat to produce
juicy, well-seared meats, caramelized drippings, and concentrated
flavors. Her 150 recipes feature the full range of dishes from beef,
lamb, pork, and poultry to seafood and vegetables. Showstoppers include
porchetta ingeniously made with a loin of pork, a roast goose with
potato-sage stuffing, and a one-hour beef rib roast-dishes we've dreamed
of making, and that Molly makes possible with her precise and
encouraging instructions. Other recipes such as a Sunday supper roast
chicken, herb-roasted shrimp, and blasted broccoli make this an
indispensable book for home cooks and chefs. All About Roasting is like
having the best teacher in America in the kitchen with you. -- Publisher Marketing
