About the Book

It seems that anyone, with some assistance from TV chefs, can whip up a meal in no time at all, worthy of serving at the classiest high brow "A la carte" restaurants. With the perfect measurement of ingredients using the perfectly formed vegetables and the classiest of meat cuts the perfect meal can be prepared. Wrong! Let's get back to basics, certainly in this period when the focus is on cost reduction and savings in the family home. Somewhere between the "TV celebrities chefs" and beneath "Come dine with me" lies a void for the ordinary person. Not so perfect cooking fills that void. The focus is on good wholesome meals for the working family. Using fresh vegetables from the garden or allotment is a bonus. These vegetable would probably never see a supermarket shelf due to their shapes and various sizes. In fact they would probably be thrown away, which is a sad waste of good food. The recipes are easy to follow with your own variations being encouraged. But that's not all! Alongside the cooking is a new kitchen experience. The "ABC" game. A selection of topics and stories using the alphabet. There are prepared examples and recommendations on new topics to play along with the family whilst waiting for the meals to be cooked. The emphasis is on good and easy cooking and a fun experience in the kitchen.
About the Author: Wayne Shaw is married to Joyce and live in the sleepy village of Turves in Cambridgeshire. We have two dogs Connor and Max. Our children have flown the coop! We both enjoy reading, socialising and geocaching. I am also the regular quiz master at the Tuesday night quiz at The Letter B in Whittlesey. I am a partner in an internet radio station www.seafordsurfradio.com where I make a DJ appearance on Monday and Wednesday evenings. We are also owners of the local e-information sheet www.whittleseasurf.com My favourite author of all time is Terry Pratchett. I have been writing for some time now and had various small articles published in papers and journals. I also have published "Chooooon (part 1) A pictorial journey with Seafordsurf Radio. The theme of "Not so perfect cooking" has grown and grown, especially when we started our own allotment. Even a small plot would grow enough vegetables to keep a small family going for most of the year, thus a considerable large cost saving. The question is of course, "what to do with it"; hence Not so perfect cooking was hatched. The "ABC" game has been with us for some time and I am also working on a board game version which can be played anywhere.
