 My husband learned to cook with this book May 12, 2008

My husband, who had never cooked before, learned to cook using this book. He has tried many things. Last week he cooked a chicken and it turned out great. He bakes cookies now, uses the chicken recipes, stir frys, vegetable recipes! Relief to have him cooking. I use this book alot too. One of my favorites is the tuna salad and the hummus recipe. Yum. Great book for learning the basics and for everyday meals.

Finally!!--a reason to throw away my Joy of Cooking. Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" delivers what he promised. Fresh ingredients, recipes anyone can use and information needed without all those details that most of us will never need nor care about. This is the only cookbook I have in my vacation home. I love it.
Excellent book for your kitchen April 14, 2008

I had been reading Mark Bittman's MINIMALIST column in the Times, and tried several of his recipes, which turned out great. I was unaware that this book even existed. I purchased this and his HOW TO COOK EVERYTHING VEGETARIAN (for my 9-year decided-she's-now-a-vegatarian-daughter), and they are both excellent. The recipes are clear and concise and not full of schmancy-fancy ingredients. You can also read the book as a book, with a philosophy -- that anyone can cook, that it really doesn't take any longer than so-called "fast food", and that anything you make yourself will be loads better. We keep both these books in my kitchen at all times, and our meals have never been better.

Bought this as a gift for my sister based on the reviews i have read of it online from sources i trust, and they did not let down. Very well written, and very clear. I would totally suggest this book for anyone who needs a basic beginner's guide, but that will grow with them to options beyond that. It did not presume any pre-knowledge, which is not always easy to find.
It would also be a great resource for the experienced cook who is trying to expand into some areas they are not as familiar/comfortable with.
THE VERY BEST THERE IS... April 10, 2008

Mark Bittman's HOW TO COOK EVERYTHING...is the VERY best cookbook on the market today...I've been buying it every time there is a NEW bride in my life...it is the "bible" for the kitchen...I've given out as gifts at least 20 of these editions...whatever you need to know...this book will explain in detail...from the very basics of WHAT it is...to buying,handling, and of course cooking it...from the very simple to the very elaborate...
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!
