This is another amazing cookbook that anyone who wants to learn to cook will enjoy. These are the basics that every good cook should know. James Peters explains "the-ten-steps" that you need to know so that you can get started in kitchen. The book has more 1,100 photographs that are essential guides to the recipes here. More than 250 basic cooking techniques and recipes are explained and pictured in this book. With this book, cooking stops being a mystery and becomes a craft as you study this splendid effort to entertain you in your kitchen by showing you skills that chefs learn in their first weeks at culinary school.
