Every ingredient原料had its right place, too, and as each arrived he would taste it, unseasoned, to judge exactly where it might sit within a dish.When he and Albert produced cookery books, spreading the revolution to ordinary British kitchens, he, being aperfectionist, wrote the words, just as on their cookery shows he was the suave文雅的and particular main presenter.
