Horrifying.
Yes, author of this cookbook, it's a reaaaally great idea to just dump in fragile vegetables with meat and cook them for the same duration at the same temperature.
Snow peas and chicken?
Broccoli, and pasta?
Who on earth would even TRY this?
FYI, if you're wondering about the result, it's probably mushy veggies with some starches and meat. Baby food. But this is what happens when you dump all your dinner ingredients in one pot (without braising, even) and cook on high heat for an hour. MUSH.

If you own a Le Creuset pot and you're not braising your meat, well, give it to someone who can cook better than you do.

You know something is wrong with your cookbook when someone is able to tell the recipes are terrible before even trying them simply because the technique is ridiculous.

For those of you who are wondering what to get instead of this cookbook, I'd recommend 'All About Braising'.… (más)
