Seasonality, the abundant use of fresh fruits, vegetables, zests, and herbs, substituting honey for sugar when possible, and olive oil for butter when it fits, are the signatures of Patricia’s style of cooking and an integral part of MY MASTER RECIPES. She also provides a list of pantry essentials, necessary equipment, sources for finding the best ingredients—such as oils, fish and shellfish—a dependable list of preferred wine importers, and advice on when to make easy ingredient substitutions and when to stick to the original recipe.
