Title: Great book to teach the basics of cooking
Review: I'll bet most people cook without a cookbook and aren't even aware of what they are doing --improvising on known dishes and techniques. And I learned to cook as a child from my mom, so I've been cooking for decades. But what if you didn't learn to cook and now you have to? This is a great book for learning important basic techniques.I didn't like all of the recipes I saw, but the IDEAS are right. And keeping broth and frozen spinach on hand is a good thing--I always do that myself. Wonton skins are useful as well, but I don't agree with a no-bake lasagna. The blueprint for creating stir-fry is also helpful. If you already know how to cook, you won't need this book. If you are learning how to cook and want to streamline the process, this can help
