Indispensable for Beginners through Mid-Level Cooks,
By
This review is from: Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook (Hardcover)
Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook is an indispensable cooking guide for beginners through mid-level cooks. By mid-level, I am referring to anyone who cooks but is not adept at the various cooking techniques or one with a firm understanding of how and what tools to use in the kitchen.As a former caterer and chef, I see that many people lack basic cooking skills. This book does a fantastic job of teaching the skill--Stewart provides clear instructions and the accompanying photographs makes the job of learning how to cook seem simple. (And cooking is fairly simple...you just need to practice--and get good guidance!) The book is stunning in its layout and with impeccable photography throughout. The photographs alone would entice even the most reluctant beginner to jump in and learn to cook! Cooking School begins with the basics--what cooking supplies to stock in your kitchen. Stewart believes in keeping things simple and she lists the basic equipment to do the job. Also included are knife sharpening tips and much more. Here again, the photos assist in the show and tell method of this book. The remainder of the book is divided as follows: * Stocks and dips * Eggs * Meat, fish and poultry * Vegetables * Pasta * Dried beans and grains * Desserts Each section provides cooking techniques and recipes, many of which are classics. This is a wonderful book to buy yourself or anyone who wants to learn to cook--or to cook better. I bought a copy for my niece as a housewarming present! By the author of the award winning book, HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT: BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME & YOUR PLANET.

not what I was expecting,
This review is from: Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook (Hardcover)
This book is full of information, however it was not what I expected. It is exactly as it says a "cooking school" book. It reminds me of a course book from a class. It is great to help you learn the basics and how to's of stock and other bases for food, and how to roast a chicken etc. Since I already consider myself to to know most of the basics, and be a good cook, this book is not as valuable to me for its information, but for a person just learning to cook, it would be a greatl! The pictures are great as well. I just expected it to be more about recipes than a teaching tool.
