Steamed dishes are very healthy because steam and short cooking times are used, which means that the loss of vitamins and nutrients from the cooked food is much lower than with conventional cooking methods. The inherent flavour and colours of the food also become more intense. The practical three-tier electric steamer can fit in even the smallest kitchen and will help you whip up even whole meals quickly and easily. This book shows you the diversity of steam cooking in 50 varied recipes. Whether Vitello tonnato, celery soup, carrot puree with chicken, polenta with mushroom ragout, beetroot ravioli or apricot-apple compote with yoghurt and nuts - everything tastes delicious and is vitamin-friendly, low-fat and easy to prepare.
