3.0 out of 5 stars
Not for newbie cooks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joy of Cooking, Miniature Edition (Hardcover)
It's quite the bible of food and cooking. I found the explanation of certain food groups and handling helpful. For example, what types of meat are from what parts of animals, and the oils and consistencies differ. But as a newbie cook, I found little joy and little cooking. It's a good reference book, but much too intimidating. There's not enough beginner-type of explanations of cooking terminology or food prep techniques (nor are there pictures to help out).

Miniscule worthless book,
By Cara M. Silla "Cara" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Joy of Cooking, Miniature Edition (Hardcover)
Although most of the Joy of the Cooking books contain strong, solid recipes and useful hints, this tiny book is a joke. Most of the info is so basic that it offends those of us who know how to boil water. There are scant recipes and and the book is so incredibly small that it takes two hands just to open the awkward sized book.

I thought this would be a miniature version of the Joy of Cooking.It's not. Not useful at all, and not worth purchasing
