“Indeed, stock is everything in cooking, at least in French cooking. Without it, nothing can be done. If one’s stock is good, what remains of the work is easy; if, on the other hand, it is bad or merely mediocre, it is quite hopeless to expect anything approaching a satisfactory result.”
Stocks and sauces are key to delicious cooking – as well as for other reasons besides taste. As our economy is still recovering, we know families everywhere are working long hours. Cooking nutritious and satisfying meals can fall by the wayside in daily tasks, but keeping a full pantry of good stocks and sauces give you the option of preparing quick dinners on the fly.
