Book Description

July 1, 1999
Being a good cook doesn't just happen. It starts with knowledge. And that knowledge must run deeper than just a recipe on a page, no matter how much or little cooking experience you have. Simply enough, that's the story behind Cooking Essentials. Cooking should be as easy an uncomplicated as possible. We start with a visual guide to the pantry, describing and explaining a key choice of ingredients. Next, we offer advice on saving money as you set up or improve your kitchen. Then a portfolio of essential Techniques forms a vital reference source. The Master Recipes are designed to be your keys to even better cooking, allowing you to utilize a wide range of essential cooking skills. Last but not least, there is the Recipe Repertoire, a collection of our favorite recipes that we hope will become yours too. Enjoy Cooking Essentials, your companion on the never-ending road to more cooking knowledge and better cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for the Beginner!, February 12, 2005
By 
This review is from: Cooking Essentials (Cooking Arts Collection) (Hardcover)
This book covers the basic cooking information that anyone at any level would love to have. From how to prepare vegetables to how to stock your cupboards with the essentials, this book has it all. I recommend this book for beginners because it educates them on how to prepare, clean, store, and measure (just to mention a few). Happy Reading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE, May 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cooking Essentials (Cooking Arts Collection) (Hardcover)
I came across this book at someone's house. I was amazed at the amount of the information it contained and the nice simple recipes, that I decided to purchase it. It is great for a beginner who wants education about the 101 of mostly everything common you could use in a kitchen. But the information about cooking, storing times are vital to anyone regardless of their level. The master recipes section with all the pictures of different steps really helps learn in learning as you cook. Made recipes straight from book since then. Plus, many of the recipes are easy to adjust (in case you are missing an ingredient, etc). And I have used techniques from this book to prepare other recipes.

TO SUMMARIZE this book: Best Cooking Dictionary !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cook Book Review, December 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cooking Essentials (Cooking Arts Collection) (Hardcover)
Cooking Essentials presents in simplistic terms how to prepare and cook food. It has a wealth of information if you need the basics in preparing and cooking foods. I first checked this book out at my public library and reviewed it. I think it is one of the best books on the market for beginner's.
