Home / Books / How to Cook Everything: The Basics — Mark Bittman
A beginner cookbook is most useful when it helps you repeat a few meals you enjoy. Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything: The Basics is a candidate for that kind of learning.
The pull
Technique-focused cookbook for readers learning everyday cooking. Choose one recipe type you want to practice and check a preview for instructions you can follow with your current kitchen tools.
The tradeoff
A broad introduction may not be the best fit for a specific dietary need or an experienced cook seeking specialist recipes.
Before you decide
Confirm print format; this is The Basics, not the main How to Cook Everything title.
Compare this item with what you already own and the job you need it to do. If you are still choosing the product type, start with How to Choose a Cookbook You Will Actually Use.
