Product Description
Synopsis
Walk into any bookshop, look at the shelves loaded with cookbooks and it's hard to believe that there are still people who don't know how to cook. During the last couple of decades, the easy availability of ready-prepared meals and take-outs means there is less need to cook at home and, because most parents work and basic skills are no longer taught in school, the average person grows up not knowing how to cook. Worries about high salt levels, hidden fat content and undesirable additives in convenience food, concerns about foods being improperly stored, and fears of microwave radiation are all persuading people to prepare their own meals from fresh ingredients. You are what you eat has finally sunk in. And the escalating cost of eating out in restaurants and the increasing number of TV celebrity chefs is encouraging even more people to find out how much fun cooking can be. Cooking for Beginners imparts basic cooking skills along with a repertoire of dishes, without talking down to you. It will also help you decipher some of the instructions in other recipe books - not everyone knows how to 'beat until stiff peaks form'.- A cookbook that instructs, not insults, beginners - Unique spiral format stands it up so you are free to concentrate on the actual cooking - Recipes use few, readily available ingredients - Every recipe has clear step-by-step photographs for every stage and a shot of the finished dish - Instructions are simple and non-technical - All recipes have been tested to solve any anticipated or unforeseen problems - Foolproof recipes provide dozens of healthy, nutritious meals for every occasion - Advice is given on equipment, buying ingredients and using store-bought substitutes - Every recipe has nutritional breakdown

Uninspiring,

This review is from: Cooking for Beginners (Spiral-bound)
I bought this for my not-so-confident-in-the-kitchen husband and was very disappointed. The recipes are indeed very simple but not very inspiring and unless we did something wrong the brownies recipe was revolting!
