Have you ever wondered why, no matter how carefully you follow a famous
chef's recipe, your food doesn't turn out looking or tasting like his?
Well, it might not be your fault--perhaps you're just missing those
special "tricks" that can elevate a dish to a different level. With The
Cheating Chef's Secret Cookbook, not only will you learn many of the
methods these chefs use but you'll also be able to make each and every
one of the 517 recipes in four steps or less! Recipes include: -
Pancakes that are light and fluffy because they're made with buttermilk
and baking soda - An omelet that is made perfectly using a piping hot
nonstick pan and a rubber scrapper - Scrambled eggs--the secret to
getting that perfect texture is cream cheese! - Two-step hummus, the
flavor of which is intensified by pretasting the spices - Buffalo wings
that are made yummier by adding sugar to hot sauce - Tomato soup, which
gets its intense flavor from the rind of a block of parmigiana reggiano
cheese - Sirloin beef that comes out perfectly cooked each and every
time--the trick is waiting until the beef is room temperature before
cooking - Beef roll-ups, which can be made with jarred teriyaki sauce
jazzed up with ketchup and hot sauce - Chicken breasts that use mustard
to adhere the bread crumbs to the chicken - Three-step egg salad that
uses celery seed instead of celery pieces - Macaroni and cheese made
with pureed cottage cheese to cut down on the calories that typically
accompany white sauce - Easy three-step peanut butter cookies made with
cornflakes
