Negative Positive
Title: Wonderful Information
Review: A friend gave me this cookbook and I think it is marvelous. I looked to it for a method for cooking salmon steaks last night and the entry was clear and concise and made for perfectly-cooked salmon in the most easy way imaginable. I appreciate that it contains not so much "recipes" with list of ingredients, but actual methods of cooking all sorts of things, with suggestions for add-ins, seasonings, shortcuts, selection of meat, etc. It really is a perfect basic cookbook, as it's so adaptable to one's taste and skills and ingredients on-hand. Some of the other reviewers have complained that it's just a concise verion of "How to Cook Everthing", but I think the publisher makes it very clear in the description that this is what it is, and I think that is just fine. I will probably buy the full book eventually, but I think "The Basics" stands on it's own as a fine cookbook, and it's really a bargain at Amazon's $15.
