A simple guide to one of life's most essential skillscooking! Why learn to cook? Here are some reasons you need this book: Homemade food tastes good If youve ever roasted a hot dog over a campfire or eaten a pile of pancakes right out of a buttered skillet on the stove, you know what Im talking about. Yes, eating food out of take out containers can be tasty, but with a bit of practice, nothing will be better than the food you cook in your own kitchen. Save money by making your own meals By and large, cooking at home costs less than eating out. Period. You wont always be under your parents roof with them paying your food bills, so itll be handy to know how to shop and cook on a budget when you have to think about things such as covering rent or the electric bill. Cooking from scratch is better for the environment All the boxes and bags, paper cups, and plastic spoons that come with takeout and convenience foods take a real toll on the environment. Cooking at home leaves a lighter carbon footprint, especially if you bring your own bags when you grocery shop. Read more Learning to cook is an instant mood elevator It may sound dramatic, but its true. If everIm a little down, nothing picks me up faster than getting in front of the stove and making something good to eat for myself or someone else. Making your own food is better for you Meals cooked at home are almost always better for youlower in calories, unhealthy fats, sugar, and sodiumthan food from restaurants. As a result, the people who eat home-cooked food are less likely to be overweight and more likely to be healthier. You can feed your friends! Whether its a batch of cupcakes or a pan of mac and cheese, making food for friends is one of the best ways I know to care for the people you like or even love. Yes, you can feed friends with pizza delivery, but consider how much more fun it might be to make your own pizza and maybe a salad to go with it. Invite your pals to pitch in and see for yourself why homemade food is so much better than anything that arrives in a box. Read more In this book you'll find basic lessons on foundational cooking skills and delicious everyday recipes to get you comfortable in the kitchen. Prep includes ten different recipe chapters that collectively cover a broad range of culinary know-how: eggs, grains, pasta, beans, salads, and vegetables, as well as meat, chicken, and fish. You'll also find chapters on Snacks and Little Meals, Food to Share, and Sweets. Each chapter has five recipes, just enough to give you a foundation from which to keep on cooking. I really believe that if you cook at least one dish from each chapter, youll develop skills to apply to other recipes like it. For example, make the Genius Spaghetti and Tomato Sauce and you might be able to tackle your dads favorite pasta dish. Or bake the One-Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Sweets chapter and youll have no problem knocking out a batch of your grandmas snickerdoodles. I promise you dont have to know anything about cooking in order to get started. You just have to be willing to try, to expect a few fumbles along the way, and, ultimately, to eat some really good food. Read more
