 | Cooking Basics plus much more! Dec 18, 2006 |
| I was searching for a basic cooking book for a young friend of the family. I wanted something special, not the usual "cooking for dummys" type of book, or a book of basic recipies. I wanted something that would explain a wide range of cooking info, and that could also be used as a reference for years to come. I was also looking for something that was affordable. I came across this book in a local book store, after paging through many, many others. I was extremely impressed at the wide range of info packed in this book. I've been cooking for 30+ years, and this book even taught me a thing or two as I paged through it! The first half covers basic utensils, measuring, cutting, chopping, types of spices, fruits, vegies, and cuts of different meats. It explains the different methods of preparing foods (frying, braizing, boiling, poaching, blanching, steaming, searing, reducing, etc.), as well as different ways to work with certain foods, such as eggs. The second half is recipies. They are simple, healthy recipes, that range from salad to dessert, each explained step by step and illustrated nicely. I was impressed by the choice of recipes included, as a new cook could easily prepare a very impressive meal quite easily. Even an experienced cook will find the recipies to be very useful. Overall it's well written, well illustrated, and very informative book for the beginning cook, as well as a handy reference for the more experienced. It's also reasonably priced! I purchased it as a gift for the young family friend, and I plan to purchase another to add to my own cook book collection. You can't go wrong with this book if your looking for a GOOD basic book about the fundamentals of cooking. | | | | A superbly illustrated introductory "how to" guide for creating easy, quick, and tasty foods May 7, 2006 |
