Anyone Can Cook DVD Edition: Step-by-Step Recipes Just for You (Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen) Review

I am still going through the book and still learning from it, but it is one of the better purchases I have made recently. I haven't cooked a disaster since it arrived in the mail. Of course, it is just a matter of time before I take on a recipe I am not ready for, and meet my Waterloo - but that is just a guy thing - and, yes, I have had many of those hiccups in my life!

Kitchen Survival Guide Review

This book does what most cookbooks don't: it assumes that you really know absolutely NOTHING about cooking. For those of us for which that is true, this book is a life-saver. It has recipes for the most basic things (how to hard-boil an egg, for example); it gives you a suggested grocery list for your first shopping trip to stock your new kitchen; it give invaluable advice about choosing fresh food and how to store things. As a recent college grad in my first apartment, I consult this book almost daily (I didn't know that fish, if it's fresh, should have NO smell, or that eggs that have gone bad will float). A perfect graduation gift (or just a gift for someone you sense is really suffering in the kitchen).

I found this book at the library and picked it up, thinking it'd be full of frou-frou recipes that would be entertaining to watch a chef create on TV but not practical for a real kitchen. Boy, was I wrong. This book is full of true recipe gems. I went straight from the library to Amazon to get my own copy. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes to cook.

How to Boil Water Review

If you're one of those "Sure, I know how to cook...except I don't want to" people, you need this book. This book gives you the basics on how long you can keep meat, how to pick good cuts, what to do with vegetables, and the essential hints on everything you need to get started. The best part of this book aren't the recipes, but rather the reference guides on the things you never quite know, like how to cook specific vegetables and how to build a soup or smoothie. Great for someone who has just moved into an apartment, or for anyone who wants to get a primer on cooking. If you are puzzled about what tools you need, fear not--it's all very simple, and there are many, many diagrams in case you freak out with too many words.
I would say it's useful for anyone with less training than professional cooking experience. The pictures are wonderful.

Clueless in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for Teens (The Clueless series) Review

I'm just an average thirtysomething, juggling a career, social life, and mad video game habit. Cooking isn't all that high on my list of priorities, but eating out 5-8 times a week is getting boring and expensive. This book is absolutely perfect if you're like me. The recipes are easy to follow, relatively quick to make, and use inexpensive everyday ingredients. Don't let the simplicity of the recipes fool you, though, the food tastes fantastic!
There's a good amount of pictures and charts to help you with things like how to slice every kind of vegetable, carving poultry, and demystifying how to use different cuts of beef.
I found this book to be an absolute lifesaver and has made me less intimidated about trying new things in the kitchen or tackling some gnarly hardcore recipe.
Although this book appears to be geared towards mothers who will pack this book off with their sons/daughters going off to college, I would highly recommend it to anyone who's just starting out in learning culinary skills, or like me, someone who just wants some simple, easy, great tasting food!
