Cooking Basics For Dummies by Alison Yates
It doesn't take culinary mastery and great recipes to be a great cook. But then again, it does take more than boiling eggs to lure you out of ordering take-out every night. This title digs you out of microwave dinners and tipping delivery persons and propels you with various ingredients you need toward becoming a superior home cook.
