a good book, surprisingly common sense is not so common in this day and age. working in a commercial kitchen myself i see all sorts of blunders caused by simple ignorance os basic rules. this book is the first step to becoming a good cook, learning the ground work is essential as with anything.
Doesn’t look like much from the cover but this little cook book has little bits of everything, from temperatures, measurements and ways to cut etc to great recipes with illustrations for each recipe. Frankly I don’t even buy a cook book without pictures anymore. What’s the point of making something if I don’t even know what its going to look like? This is great on all points.
I purchased two of these books many years ago for my two sons for when they left home. They have both loved using it as it gives lots of general information as well as recipes. I am about to purchase two more for my neice and nephew for Christmas knowing they will also enjoying easy recipes.
This cookbook has proved to be a very faithful companion. I bought it years ago when I moved out on my own for the first time ands it’s been invaluable in building up my cooking repertoire for all the classic dishes and for learning the basics. Just like the title says: it’s Commonsense. I’ve used it more than any other cookbook in my large collection.
