Excellent Reference Book:

I have had this book (2nd Edition I think) for several years, it was a gift from my Grandmother, who made notes in it for me, before she passed. It really is a great book, with tons of useful information. It also has recipies in the back, that are actually quite good. My book is quite worn, and I would recommend this as an excellent guide to have in any kitchen.
Thanks Grandma!

How did I live without this book?:

This book is for everyone.
If you really don't know anything about cooking OR your kitchen, it explains really basic things, including what staples to buy at the store.
If you already know how to cook -- sort of -- but really eat a steady diet of take-out or cereal & milk, this book gives easy practical things you will actually make.
If you know how to cook and actually do cook, this book is still useful because it's like calling your mom to ask "does corn have to be stored in the fridge?" or... more info

love this book.:

This is a great reference for people who are novices, as well as already good cooks. I use this book religiously. The meals I can create now taste and appear complex, but the way the recipes are laid out, it's really easy. Ronnie Fein makes cooking a simple, tasty delight.
