The art of braising comes down to us from the earliest days of cooking, when ingredients were enclosed in a heavy pot and buried in the hot embers of a dying fire until tender and bathed in a deliciously concentrated sauce. Today, braising remains as popular and as uncomplicated as ever. Molly Stevens's All About Braising is a comprehensive guide to this versatile way of cooking, written to instruct a cook at any level. Everything you need to know is here, including: • a thorough explanation of the principles of good braising with helpful advice on the best cuts of meat, the right choice of fish and vegetables, and the right pots • 125 reliable, easy-to-follow recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables, ranging from quick-braised weeknight dishes to slow-cooked weekend braises • planning tips to highlight the fact that braised foods taste just as good, if not even better, as leftovers • a variety of enlightened wine suggestions for any size pocketbook with each recipe. 16 color photographs, 50 line drawings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 8.2 x 1.4 x 10.3 inches | | Isbn 10 | 0393052303 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0393052305 | | Item Weight | 2.75 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 416 pages | | Publication Date | October 1, 2004 | | Publisher | W.

I spent the first afternoon browsing through the book, skimming the different sections, and reading some of the recipes. The next time I sat down and read the whole first section and was instantly enchanted. Her way of instructing readers on the history, equipment, and techniques of braising was fantastically easy to follow - like having a conversation instead of getting a lecture or lesson.I quickly made several items out of the book and they turned out to be very delicious and quite easy to make with the proper planning and preparation. Then, because she teaches you a method and gives you guidelines about pairings, liquids, and herbs/seasonings to use I have often bought whatever lovely cut of meat was on sale that was suitable for braising and used a recipe for a similar cut as a guideline to making the dish. Those have also turned out amazing. I've served her recipes to just my husband and myself as dinner, but also turned them into entertainment dishes where I can prepare everything in advance then let it cook in the oven for hours while I finish cooking other dishes or getting everything else set up for guests.Although we have made many of the recipes and experiment with various cuts of meat and vegetables, there are two dishes that we make quite often and keep fairly true to her recipe. The first is Yankee Pot Roast Redux on pg. 252. We make it with JK Scrumpy's Hard Apple Cider, which is very sweet and has a strong apple flavor so it condenses down to a sort of lightly alcoholic apple syrup and is really good with pork cuts of any kind. If you like apple cider that tastes more like beer, I've heard that Crispin Cider's The Saint is really good. The second recipe we make quite often is Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs with Rosemary and Porcini on pg. 241. This is the hands-down favorite of my family and most of my guests. We always add various vegetables between the roast and the tomato-porcini ragu in the bottom of the pan to make it a one-pot meal. It has a very amazing depth of flavor and for once the veggies steeped in all that flavor are just as fought-over as the meat part of the dish! We've made this recipe with various full-bodied red wines (no sweet wine here, pick a dry or semi dry with a nice rich taste) and had it turn out well. Most recently we used a Bordeaux and it was delicious. There are a lot of steps to this recipe, but if you do most of your prep up front on the same day as you start marinading the ribs it cuts a lot of the active cooking time down. Also, as with so many braised dishes, this tastes even better a day or two after you cook it, so you can make it ahead and just heat it back through in the oven the day you wish to serve it. We have also made many of the braised vegetable side dishes and added quite a few to the regular list of meals as well.This book is one that deserves a spot near the kitchen because many of the recipes will be ones you make over and over. It is a wonderful instructional guide to the method of braising and is overflowing with great recipes that will become favorites. I have purchased it over and over again as gifts for family, friends, and most recently a coworker who loves cooking but is looking to learn methods and add versatile recipes to her repertoire. I've heard nothing but rave reviews back, whether people have tried many of these or just a few. It seems that this book is full of instant classics and family favorites. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bring Back Family Dinner Nights with This Book! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 15, 2013* I LOVE this book! I'm not new to braising, but was a novice and learned a lot about techniques and more importantly how the cuts of meat in beef work. We try to follow Paleo as much as possible and I've been struggling with new dishes. Well Eureka, I've found the Holy Grail! Most recipes don't need any substitutions, some are as simple as dredging in almond flour rather than regular flour. I love all the extra info that is thrown in here and there and the short stories about where a recipe came/developed from. I've picked up so many tips on cooking and meat/produce selection.Easy one pot wonder recipes. I don't have time to cook at length with two little ones at home. These are all things I can prepare while they are down for short naps, pop it into the oven and voila dinner is done! I just bought a Le Creuset 3.5Q Braiser (at an outlet, what a deal!) and saw this book on their site. I'm in love with the easy cooking, easy clean up, minimal ingredients, and all homemade results. I love that braisers, no matter the brand, can go from oven to the table and have a lovely presentation. Things always look and smell amazing. As a mom it makes me want to make the family sit down to dinner to 'present' what I've made. I'm again proud of my cooking and meal creation and we're gathering for family dinner at a table rather than sitting watching TV or eating at the kitchen bar quickly.With this book I can easily pass the processed boxed dinners in the store. Delicious home cooking is so much easier than you might think! I can already tell things are becoming family favorites that I will be making for years. This is one of the top 2 Go-To cookbooks in my house now. It's nothing short of amazing! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cookingd *by on Reviewed in the United States February 6, 2013* This is by far the best cookbook I have ever owned; and I've owned many. Molly Stevens begins by giving you a chapter on the principals of Braising and what happens under the lid of a braising pot or pan. This chapter also includes Mastering the Art of Braising, The Best Foods for Long or Short Braising, Understanding why a certain Cut of Meat is Tough or Tender, Choosing the Right Braising Pot, The Importance of the size of a Braising Pot, and the list goes on. After this wonderful chapter, you come to the recipes which are all laid out step by step. They are remarkable easy to follow. Some of the recipes can have nine steps. For example; 1. Heat the oven to...., 2. Removing any fish bones, 3. The mushrooms, 4. The aromatics and braising liquid, 5. Meanwhile prepare the bacon and mushroom garnish, 6. The braise, 7. The finish, 8. Serving. Now that may sound like a lot of steps. However, She breaks down everything so simply that it is not at all intimidating. She leaves no stone unturned, no question unanswered. Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a mistake or ruin the meal. The best part is that these recipes are truly outstanding. I never braised anything in my life before I received this book. Now I braise all the time. I love this method. It produces the most flavorful and succulent meat, fish, poultry, and even vegetables that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. In the few weeks since I received this book, I have prepared several meals of poultry, pork and beef. Each time the meal was a success as her recipes are so easy to follow. There isn't a recipe in the book that I don't look forward to preparing. This is the first cookbook I've ever owned in which every recipe appeals to me. I have already made more meals from this cookbook than I've ever made from any of my other cookbooks in all the years that I've had them. I highly recommend this cookbook. It is truly outstanding. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3887896-all-about-braising-the-art-of-uncomplicated-cooking](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3887896-all-about-braising-the-art-of-uncomplicated-cooking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
