    I was looking for a book with more basic instructions and providing more definitions for different cooking terms. The recipes are good but without knowing what some things mean (for example "mince") it's not necessarily helpful. Not a bad book but not what I expected. If someone is looking for a cookbook with mostly recipes then, yes, I'd recommend it but if you're looking for basic instructions even before getting to recipes this book doesn't seem to fit that.

    As a new cook this book provided answers to so many of the questions that I had.It was so easy to use as detailed instructions were provided.My favorite thing was it telling seasons for produce this way you can always get the best in season.

    Excellent
    by Christopher, FL

    It's very basic. Great for beginners! It gives a lot of details that make it very easy to understand the procedures. I also like that it gives practical advice not only for the recipes but for cooking in general. Great book!

    Cooking Tip From the Food Network Kitchens

    Contrary to what you might think, a sharp knife is actually safer than a dull knife. The important thing to remember when chopping and cutting is to let the knife do the work for you. A sharp knife allows you to do that, but a dull knife requires you to exert more pressure to get the job done, which means your hand has a greater chance of slipping.
