Great book for anyone wanting an overview of cooking basics. Core concepts include Setting Up Your Kitchen, Understanding Techniques, and Expanding Your Repertoire.
The book does a good job of putting you at ease with the idea of cooking. It uses special icons to mark shortcuts, tips, and warnings. It also includes drawings of the ideal kitchen setup & various kitchen tools, which I would have liked to see more of.
The authors are also quite funny! They sprinkle humor throughout the book in unexpected places which was a nice surprise.
