The Competent Cook

According to Lauren Braun Costello, the competent cook is organized, clean, neat, thrifty, efficient, informed and joyful. If you’re all of these things, we raise a glass to you. If you could use help in, say, reclaiming the joy of cooking after a few too many years of three-squares-a-day drudgery, Lauren’s your woman. She speaks any cook’s language, whether you’d like advice on monitoring fat content and honing your knife skills or foolproof recipes for the essentials (like the Ultimate Omelet and Triple Chocolate Brownies) that list proper cooking methods and tools right alongside the ingredients. Whether you want to be a first-class baker, a health-conscious cook or grill master, here’s everything you need to cook with confidence!

Not a book I would recommend. Lots of reading if you have nothing else to do but not very helpful. And the recipes are ridiculous.
