basic cooking, but not always cheap

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

I decided on this book after reading all the rave reviews. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed...or maybe I'm just not the intended audience for this book. I'm a college student who knows basically nothing about cooking. There is some useful information in here about cooking terms, and important supplies, etc., and it definitely got me more interested in cooking. I've also tried a couple of the recipes and they were pretty good, but many of the recipes in this book contain items the average person wouldn't have handy (eggplants, avocados). A large portion of the recipes are also for things you can buy pre-made at a store for less money (chocolate sauce, whipped cream, basic macaroni and cheese, basic salsa). I understand that the point of the book is to learn simple dishes, but unless you have extra money to spend, I don't see a point in spending 10 bucks to make chocolate sauce for ice cream, or salsa for nachos. There's a recipe for a basic roasted chicken that I was going to try, and when I went to buy the chicken, the exact same recipe was printed on the chicken's wrapper! I honestly think you'd be better off finding recipes on the web than spending money on this book.

Best beginners book ever

Love the recipe format and easy to read type face. The instructions set up the cook to get through a recipe in a logical order. It's a be prepared style. Plus the recipes are delicious.

the "how-to" book I was looking for

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book as a gift. I was looking for one that explains the basics of cooking and baking for someone who regularly burns food. :-)

I looked through several other "beginner" books on Amazon and it is hard to find something that is not just a cookbook with recipes. I really wanted something with basic instruction. This book is perfect.

It covers topics such as how to chop vegetables, what equipment you really need in the kitchen and which items need to be good quality/more expensive, the names and descriptions of kitchen tools and cooking techniques, how to tell if meat or pasta are done, and how to use up leftover ingredients in other meals/dishes. Yes, it also has recipes, but I chose it for the basic instruction.

for the rest of us

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is exactly what I needed. Cooking, especially for others can be daunting. Now You're Cooking acknowledges that we aren't all blessed with some innate cooking knowledge, and the author walks us through what we need to know, how to stock a pantry, what kitchen tools are necessary and which are not. I remembered checking this book out from the library once and I think it's out of print now. That's too bad, because it is a fantastic book.

I have been cooking, fairly well, for decades (and decades) and I still got a lot out of the book. Great suggestions and recipes. I also gave it to my college-age nephew for Christmas. Everyone needs this cookbook!
