Cook book for beginner cooks????????
My 27 year old single son is moving to his own apartment in February (always had roommates) and has just become really interested in cooking. I am giving him an enameled covered dutch oven for Christmas, but would also like to give him a fairly comprehensive cookbook with it. I was given the “Joy of Cooking” when I got married and it was a staple in my kitchen. However I have also been told that the Betty Crocker and/or Fannie Farmer cookbooks are best for beginners. Which cookbook would you choose if you could only choose one.
I really like Cooks Illustrated also. Not only for their techniques, but for their product advise.
I have heard that Betty Crocker does have some good, basic techniques, but are the recipes basic also?
Fannie Farmer – it’s the bible as far as I’m concerned. Had my copy since the 80’s – just pulled it out last night.
I’d also recommend a subscription to Cooks Illustrated. CI is a wealth of information about cooking tools, techniques, ingredients. For example, in an article on London Broil, not only will they provide a recipe but they will educate on the cut of meat to use and why, the history of the dish, and different methods you could use to cook it. My mother-in-law got me a subscription years ago, never let it lapse and keep all the issues.
Then there is always the Food Network.
