Synopsis

Carol Bowen Ball has been the devoted owner of a kitchen range for almost thirty years and this handbook brings cooking on a range right up to date providing hundreds of thousands of Aga and Rayburn owners with a much needed collection of refreshingly new recipes. As the title of the book suggests however, the author does not ignore the basics and this handy work of reference will serve not only those who have just purchased or inherited a kitchen range for the first time but also those who have owned one for years and are looking for fresh ideas. As an Aga is more than just a cooker this book contains all sorts of useful hints and tips for getting the most from your oven - everything from drying sports clothing to using your kettle for cleaning the hotplate lid. The recipes are all clearly marked with unique symbols to indicate instructions for 2-door, 4-door or Thermodial-control models and can be cooked in Agas, Rayburns and all similar types of ranges. No one who owns an Aga or other kitchen range should be without this essential guide.

For many years I had longed for an Aga so was delighted to inherit one when we moved to our present house some twenty years ago. Friends and colleagues who had them extolled their virtues by praising the way in which they provided a warm and welcoming kitchen, superb food and an indefinable centre to the whole home. I liked my Aga's culinary prowess immediately and quickly appreciated the lovely cosy atmosphere it gave to our creaky, old house full of packing boxes and little else. But what about all this gushy 'centre' nonsense? Over the years I have come to know what they meant and nod approvingly when it is ever mentioned as if I am part of some secret society of range owners and have 'the knowledge'. My range has become the heart of my home. It not only cooks superbly for every occasion from the simple to the sumptuous, and helps with umpteen hated household chores, especially the laundry, but is also where almost everyone congregates to discuss the day's news, troubles and successes. Friends, like magnets, are drawn to its welcoming warm embrace and I frequently have to remind them to move over so that the cook can get into action.
