Did you know you can salvage an over-salted dish by mixing in some cream, milk, pureed tomato or mashed potato? If you have trouble shelling an egg with the skin under the shell sticking stubbornly, continue the process under running water. The easiest way to skin impurities off the top of a stock or sauce is with a wad of crumpled kitchen paper. Make a dry or overcooked chicken moist with a marinade of oriental spices and flavourings. If a chocolate mousse fails to set, transform it into a rich chocolate sauce. No matter how experienced the cook is, there will always be occasions when things go inexplicably wrong, dishes are overcooked, or the ingredients need to be better, and the results fall slightly flat. A Cook's Book of Quick of Fixes contains a wealth of simple, crafty remedies to save the day and to turn adversity to your advantage.
