4.0 out of 5 stars A great "basics plus" cookbook, December 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking (Chic Simple) (Hardcover)
This cookbook is a great primer on cooking, with good information on methods, ingredients and chefs. I made a roast chicken for the first time last night, it was wonderful, and I've already thought of a few ways I could vary the recipe! Not only are the recipes tasty, but the photographs are handsome, and the layout is sharp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refining Culinary Cookbook, January 3, 2002
By 
rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Cooking (Chic Simple) (Hardcover)
This is neither a basics cookbook, nor a sophisticated gourmet chef's collector cookbook. It is in-between. There are simplistic contents on technique, sources, ingredients, getting started, etc., which the beginner on up in cooking experience utilize to prepare great menus.

There are sophisticated recipes that the intermediate cook can sink their teeth into, e.g. Chicken Satlimbocca or Grilled West Indies Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breast with Grilled Banana. Sides are concentrated entrees brimming with flavor, great for beginner to intermediate: Bell Peppers Stuffed with Couscous, or Eggplant Caponata.

Receiving this as a gift, I likely would not have purchased this for myself, as there are just more cookbooks I'm into having. However, I defintitely would give this as a gift to cooking friends who fall in the beginner to intermediate level. There are recipes here for all. Well done. Great photos and layout and instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!, January 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking (Chic Simple) (Hardcover)
I am a single guy, and as such, I have not prepared food very often. Getting a little tired of always eating frozen/canned food, or at restaurants, I decided to give this book a try.

The instructions in this book are easy to follow, and the food has turned out well. I could not be happier!
