“I am one of those people who enjoys cooking, but have absolutely no ambition in becoming a professional cook. I love simple , easy recipes. Ones I can clearly understand and can have fun making. The purpose of a cook book is to explore and try new recipes, not to confuse you… Live to Eat is exactly the kind of cook book I enjoy. It’s simple and straight to the point . It gets down to the nitty gritty making the world’s most complicated recipe easy and a breeze to make. With refreshing recipes , this cook book would make a wonderful gift” Ashley via Amazon
“True to it’s claim, the Prawn Linguine was quick, easy, and very tasty. Both my husband and I love seafood, so it’s not a surprise that the first recipe I would try would include prawns (or in Northeast Texas – plain old shrimp). I even embellished Adam’s recipe and added a little grated Parmesan cheese to the top when serving. Yum, is a good description” Lyn via Amazon
Verjuice is one of those special secrets of cooking. Having grown up in Adelaide, Australia I was blessed with regular visits to the Barossa Valley vineyards and first discovered verjuice for sale at one of the many winery cellar doors. Since then I have worked on incorporating it into my cooking as much as possible. I use verjuice in many different ways and have found that it works just as well in sweet desserts as in savoury foods.
“Adam Pittaway has created a brilliant set of recipes here! They’re easy to make, fun and delicious. This is a great one for cooks (and budding cooks) to try something a little unique” Samie via Amazon
“It’s no secret that I’m a novice in the kitchen. Thankfully this small collection of recipes is not rocket science, the food is wonderful and beautiful and actually achievable. The hardest ingredient to find is what the book is named after, the verjuice. After some searching I was able to find it in a health food store and I’ll be damned if its not amazing. I’m having fun trying to incorporate it into the few dishes I’m comfortable making. I also tried a few recipes included in this book, the pumpkin soup (it’s the right season!) and the potatoes. I loved how the verjuice complemented the potatoes and will most definitely be making it for thanksgiving” Madam Librarian via Amazon
Ever since I started cooking, I have always been fascinated by fermenting, pickling and preserving foods. My first memories with these foods involved pickling vegetables in jars, baking bread, brewing beer and making wine or cider as a young boy with my father. I was always intrigued by how the beer would gain bubbles, the bread would magically double in size and they would both always transform into something different and tasty.
