5.0 out of 5 starsWhen you can't call Mom Stuff Every Cook Should Know will save the day
By Amazon_Customer TOP 500 REVIEWER on October 25, 2016
Format: Hardcover
Stuff Every Cook Should Know by Joy Manning is like having Mom around to help advise you on how to cook and cook well. For example the author details how to cook in a small kitchen or how make sure you don't forget to add an ingredient to a recipe. She also shares information such as how to remove a red wine stain (she didn't include my favorite method which is to pour white wine over the red wine stain to remove the red wine stain. This works very well).

I also liked her final pages called Stuff We Can't Tell You. She writes about how we all have cooking failures as cooks do not learn how to cook overnight. Other gems shared include how cooking will change your lifer how to be happy in the kitchen.

Recommend.

5.0 out of 5 starsUseful cooking tips
By IlanaWD on December 27, 2016
Format: Hardcover
'Wanting to cook is one of the best impulses that can wash over a person, but the path from desire to dinner is rarely a straight line'. As a novice cook - as I also used to be not that far away in time - I appreciated every single tip and idea, starting from how to cut an avocado or how to choose the best knife for meat. This book would not help you with the avocado part, but you will find plenty of advice about kitchen ware - knives included - cooking oils or how to conquer your fear of baking - seriously, is this issue properly addressed by serious therapists...if not, it should. You can use it as a 'crash course in fundamental home cooking' and even right now I consider myself on a higher cooking level - and no more under the spell of panic attacks when it comes to baking, I still discovered some inspiration. The naked truth is: 'every accomplished cook has many tales of recipes gone awry. Making mistakes is an integral part of the process of learning how to cook'.
There are many ideas that I liked and agreed with in this book. For instance, that you should not worry if your kitchen is small. How to keep in mind to check when looking for a cookbook if the recipes were tested before. Or when to use regular oil or virgin oil. How to choose the right meat or to properly master a weekly meal planning. Besides the cooking part, the aspects of cooking/kitchen management are brilliant too. One will learn about how to set up the home bar or to organise a party or how to plan your food budget without giving up quality.
Overall, a very useful book that you need to read it if you care about your kitchen knowledge. Strongly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for anyone starting out in the kitchen
By Kindle Customer on October 26, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
Great book for anyone starting out in the kitchen. It contains lots of good information and advice that everyone can use. Practical gift idea for a college student or a newlywed with no kitchen experience.
I received an advance copy free to peruse and plan to buy to use for gifting.
