貼心
距離1984 年母親出版《培梅家常菜》至今,已經三十年了,這本累積銷售超過六十萬冊的食譜,在母親眾多出版品中,一直是最受讀者喜歡的廚房寶典。誠如母親所說:「家常菜即是家庭中日常烹飪之菜餚,製作方法應力求簡單,配料、佐料之種類不可繁雜,採用之主要材料,也以經濟、實惠為主」,而且「家常菜既屬家庭日常烹飪者,故不需苛求外觀,尤其是餐盤之點綴、裝飾皆可省略,但其他條件,如口味、營養價值等,則必須講求,不宜疏忽。為了增進家人的食慾和健康,家常菜也應在口味上和烹調技術方法上力求變化。」這些烹飪心得,歷經三十年,仍然是各位讀者在為家人準備可口佳餚時,所應了解的。
飲食習慣隨著時代的進步不斷改變,閱讀的視覺享受,也隨著科技的進步而要求愈高,為了傳承母親這本膾炙人口的食譜,大姊安琪和我決定替母親重新製作她這本經典代表作《培梅家常菜》,經過仔細的選題,重新研究調味下,在大姊掌廚,媽媽學生陳盈舟老師幫助下,辛苦工作了無數個日夜,終於完成了新版《培梅家常菜》的拍攝工作,我們並特別邀請了最注重出版品質的躍昇文化公司總經理林蔚穎先生,為本書完成後製工作,希望給讀者帶來另一份驚喜。
