I can buy 2 rashers of bacon or a couple of chicken wings if that's all I want. It's cheap, there's minimum of packaging, and I don't waste anything. It's brilliant! I agree that A Bird in the Hand is more useful if you have a few people to cook for! The only way I get through a bottle of vermouth/dry sherry etc fast enough is if I use it for cooking with as well.

This is a Diana Henry book that I don't own simply because I don't eat much meat and I can't buy just two chicken thighs or legs or wings which would be all that I could cope with, as well as having a tiny fridge in my tiny kitchen. I do like the idea of it though. I used to use Marsala for cooking in the days when I was a housewife - things always tasted better with a spoonful or two of it in the dish.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
