Superior Book

This is an amazing book and tells you everything you need to know. I found it much more helpful than "All U Can Eat" by Lela Nargi, which I bought first---less "humorous" patter, and more real information. This book is a real treasure and I would recommend it to anyone just learning to cook.

Excellent!

It has everything a person needs to know about cooking! It has great definitions and terms as well as tips! There are also some easy recipes!
