A couple of years ago, my wife and I purchased a wonderful cookbook designed by Good Housekeeping, simply called, "The Good Housekeeping Cookbook" (Hearst Communications, Inc. 2001). This book is truly a cooking manual with not only easy-to-follow recipes and expert cooking tips, but includes a comprehensive history on preparation, storage, and safety on numerous types of food items. You'll find everything from how to choose eggs to how to grill squid. With it having the approval and backing of a name known around the world for good cooking, it is not surprising that only fine meals are found it this book. If you plan to stay around cooking for any length of time, I highly recommend getting a copy of this book. As a professional chef and a cook-at-home, I return to this book often!
All the Best.
PS. Try looking at Barnes and Noble for this book (at store or online). If they don't have it in stock, they may be able to find it for you. |
