I found Molly Stevens’ All About Braising at the library a few weeks ago and liked the first couple of recipes so much that I decided to buy the book. I got it for only $11 plus shipping brand new through one of Amazon’s affiliates, which I think it’s quite a bargain.
The book has a long section on the principles of braising which I haven’t read yet, but I do mean to. I’m new to braising but I enjoy the results so much that I do want to try it.
The recipes themselves have been quite good. So far I’ve made Short Ribs Braised in Porter Ale with Maple-Rosemary Glaze, Herb-Stuffed Leg of Lamb Braised in Red Wine, Whole Chicken Braised with Pears and Pork Pot Roast with Apricots, Cardamon and Ginger. All of them have been quite good.
In all, I can recommend this book wholeheartedly.
