Fresh Food Book

Shopping for ingredients is the basis of good eating. This book provides all the information you need for skilful shopping, telling readers how to choose and store each ingredient, what each ingredient is best for, list any health or environmental considerations and guide readers through the frequently misleading labelling. There are sections on many food issues such as irradiation and pesticide residue, and explanations of terms like "free range", "organic" and "farm fresh". The text describes how to identify and use some of the more unfamiliar and exotic ingredients and takes readers through all the many different varieties of, for example, potatoes and apples that are now appearing in the shops.
