How to Cook for Beginners: An Easy Cookbook for Learning the Basics

I love this book!

I’ve been in restaurants for a while and I bought this book for a friend’s teen daughter who wanted to start cooking. It’s got great information and goes over kitchen safety as well as proper cleaning!

I purchased this book for my grandson, who loves to cook with me. He lives out of state, so in order to encourage his culinary skills, I decided to send this book to him. When it arrived, I was pleased with how he can not only develop his talent, but expand his knowledge of cooking skills. Each chapter talks about a cooking term, say braise,and gives a couple of recipes that use that technique. Then the final chapter uses combinations of all the terms that have been discussed in previous chapters. I can't wait to have him cook for me again. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars, is because I don't know how my grandson has felt about the book after starting to use it.

I love this cook book ! I grew up having a hard time , due to adhd related things but I found this cook book easy to understand and it makes cooking more fun !

Lots of cookbooks are filled with dozens of pages of unnecessary filler. This cookbook is a welcome change of pace. It's packed full of knowledge while being simultaneously easy to read and understand. I was able to read the entire book in one sitting. The task of learning to cook went from daunting and frustrating to something fun and enjoyable. After each skill taught is an example recipe that allows you to apply what you just learned.This is not a comprehensive gourmet cookbook. But after reading this book, I don't feel the need to buy any other. I was taught everything that I need to know. The only thing left to do is find recipes for my favorite meals and adjust them to suite my own individual tastes and needs.

I read a well done review of this book in our local paper. The author was a classmate of my children, so I read the entirereview and was intrigued by the clear, easy to follow, yet sophisticated presentation of a pasta dish I had never made. Ibought three books..for my two adult daughters and myself. My older was put off by the title til she came across andmade the avocado recipe! I have many cookbooks and recommend this..it’s a fun read with tempting illustrations wetheryou ever make anything or not but I bet you will...

I was looking for basic American comfort foods, something a beginner cook would be missing from home. The instructions are quite good but the recipes are not what my beginner needs. The recipes are not basic enough, I was hoping for (literally) "Here is how you boil an egg".

I bought this book for a friend of mine who is learning to cook. They absolutely love it

Gave as a gift, she said it was perfect

Decent to get you started in the kitchen. Tells you all the kit you need with instruction. The books worth it just for that. Also there’s instruction what what to do with what meats extra with some recipes
