"The best starter cookbook you'll ever need"--Cover.

Welcome to your kitchen -- Stocking the pantry -- Terms and techniques -- That's entertainment -- I love breakfast -- Drink it up! -- Appeteasers -- You're my hero -- Salad days -- Soup is hot! -- Show-stopping sides -- Everyone loves pasta -- Something fishy -- Chicken tonight -- What's your beef? -- Perfect pork and lovely lamb -- Holiday feast -- Just desserts.

"An easy-to-follow cookbook for anyone who has said, I wish I knew how to cook. Although for some people, preparing a five course gourmet meal is an effortless task, others find scrambling an egg to be a monumental challenge. The book begins with Cooking Class 101 - a fun and enjoyable introduction to cooking basics, including an overview of useful kitchen gadgets and appliances, helpful guidelines for stocking the pantry, and a review of common terms and techniques. Throughout, over 1,500 full-color photos provide visual assistance to ensure that the information is clear and accessible, whether it is a description of how to boil and egg, core a pepper, roast the perfect chicken, or even set a proper table (with forks, knives, and glasses perfectly arranged!). Hundreds of foolproof kitchen-tested recipes cover everything from breakfast dishes and party snacks to luscious soups, salads, and side dishes. There are delectable pasta dishes and seafood favorites, as well as entrees that spotlight chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. And of course let's not forget dessert! To ensure cooking success, photos accompany each recipe's step-by-step instructions, while practical tips and tricks make sure that every dish is both picture perfect and perfectly delicious! Whether you are struggling with your first attempts at cooking, tired of ordering in, or simply someone who would like to gain more confidence in the kitchen, this is the perfect teacher"--Provided by publisher.
