Cooking: 600 Recipes, 1500 Photographs, One Kitchen Education

In an era of outfitted home kitchens and food fascination, it's no wonder home cooks who never learned the fundamentals of the kitchen are intimidated. Twenty years ago, James Peterson could relate, and so he taught himself by cooking his way through professional kitchens and stacks of books, logging the lessons of his kitchen education one by one. Now one of the country's most revered cooking teachers, Peterson provides the confidence-building instructions home cooks need to teach themselves to cook consistently with ease and success. COOKING is the only all-in-one instructional that details the techniques that cooks really need to master, teaches all the basic recipes, and includes hundreds of photos that illuminate and inspire. · Cooking authority James Peterson's definitive, all-inclusive learn-to-cook cookbook. · 600 hard-working recipes everyone should know how to make-from the perfect roasted chicken to bouillabaisse and apple pie. · 1,500 instructional photos, showing exactly how recipes are made, teach food-literate novices to cook with confidence and more advanced cooks to expand their repertoire. · James Peterson has more than 1 million cookbooks in print.
