First of all, no this isn’t a book on Tyler Florence’s How to Boil Water television show.  It’s a book for beginners.  It’s marketed toward the college crowd, but it really is a great resource for anyone just starting out.  The book has recipes and information on everything a new cook needs to know.  It includes information on everything from shopping for food, to storing food, to making it.  I particularly love that it shows step by step how to do the basics, like dice an onion.  I also like that it gives new and old cooks tips on what tools you should have in your kitchen.  The book is filled with great photos and easy to use information.   I think it’s one of those great resources to keep in your kitchen, even if you don’t use the recipes.  The price is right at $14.47 over at amazon.com.  You can click on the icon above to go over to view it.
