Cooking books can be tough. This is by far the best I’ve read and I super appreciate that this book offers the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the basics fundamentals of cooking rather than just throwing a hundred recipes at you, but as with any form of cook-book, it’s tough to fully appreciate the book unless you’re cooking all the time when you read it. I haven’t been cooking too much lately. Still, I’ll go back to this one time and again until I memorize the basics 😆.
