Daytime TV Kitchen Disasters with Chef Christopher

It's safe to say that between now and the end of the year more of us will entertain guests and invite people to dinner more than any other time of the year. But what if things don't go as planned and you are 60 minutes or less from the guests arriving? Is there anything that can be done with an inevitable food faux pas that will most certainly happen to most of us? Do I start freaking out now or is there help for the burned chicken breast sitting in my kitchen with no hope of making its way to the table?
Relax, help is here!
Christopher Carnrick and Arthur Knighton deliver a must-have manual for handling everyday kitchen disasters (Kitchen Disasters: Solutions and Substitutions). It's not a traditional recipe book. It doesn't start at the beginning of the cooking process. Instead, each entry presents us with a cooking scenario gone wrong. The chocolate cake is burnt. The rice is overcooked. The dish is too crunchy, salty, moist, greasy, dry, green, thin, spicy, sweet, or just plain not right. The guests are coming soon and there isn't enough time to buy more ingredients and start over. The question is, now what? No worries, there are real answer for all of this.
Inspired by their own kitchen misadventures, the co-authors of "Dinner for Six at 8:00" know how to salvage every recipe. Rather than accepting defeat and just scrapping the dish, Carnrick and Knighton offer a refreshing alternative: reinvent it. Sometimes it can be corrected. Other times it has to be redirected.
As an example, a vegetable side dish becomes a wet sloppy mess, with the simple addition of one ingredient you can transform this nightmare into an elegant starter" (page 36).
Whether you're a novice with a hunger to learn or a veteran chef with years of experience, "Kitchen Disasters, Solutions and Substitutions" is for you.
