Customer Review: A Cook’s Best Friend
I found this book in the bookstore and thought it would help me with a new job as a cook. Well, it did more then that because it discribes nearly every type of term you could come up with when you cook.
I like how it discribes a particular food item and it’s best usage. For example apple: Which are better for baking, eating, and cooking.
There are charts for every conversion possible and tables galor to help you prepare better meals.
I think reading this book has made my cooking at home better because it make me less scared that I might not get the correct taste by using the wrong foods. They even go gover you meat seltion and where they come from. This great for desiding what and how to prepare it.
The good thing about this comprehensive guide, is that there are no recipes with some minor exceptions; like a rux. This is good because it is a guide, not a cookbook.
Enjoy
Customer Review: Every cook should own this
For the past 4-5 years I’ve been trying to learn how to cook and of all the cooking books I have, this is one that is ALWAYS stuck between my desk and my kitchen for easy grabbing. No other book as been as handy as this, with the exception of my substitution book that sits right next to it.
It’s also a great idea to include this in start kits for new cooks. Anytime one of my friends asks me what books they should get as starters I recommend this.
