Description
Truly the Cookbook for the Soul, this must have book will provide every pointer, definition and technique you need for culinary achievement. As an added bonus, you will be empowered to see your life situation in a whole new and more positive way.
Restaurateur, Caterer and Entrepreneur Dennis Killebrew shares what he has learned in the kitchen and life through the past thirty years. This book will make you a better cook, whether you are a newbie or an experienced hand. Every recipe is carefully explained and you will love serving them; that is, if you like compliments! And, it couldn’t be easier as each recipe is rated by difficulty and thirty-six are clearly marked as “Good and Fast” (fabulous food can be FAST).
Want something different? Recipes and techniques offer delicious Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Persian, Bread Baking, Pizza and, of course, good old comfort food dishes; from the “World’s Second Best Potato Salad” to Lasagna with Meatballs! Sweets? The secrets of making “to-die-for” cheesecakes and a Chocolate Meringue pie your Grandmother will wish she made are shared step-by-step! You will find shopping tips, substitutions to save that last minute trip to the market and great cooking demystified.
Each of the book’s 17 chapters ends with a life lesson Mr. Killebrew learned the hard way. Why take a “two by four to the head” that usually comes with mistakes, when you can learn the “easy way”. Topics include Self-Image Improvement, Selling Yourself, Goal Setting and much more.
No matter how good you are, you can always be better! Cook Live Learn will show you the way.
Special Features Make this Book Easy to Use:
Good and Fast
There are a lot of occasions when you need something quick to prepare. That does not mean it has to forsake flavor for ease! Recipes marked with the Cook Live Learn logo are both fast to make and great tasting.
Difficulty Scale
Each recipe includes a Difficulty Scale grade for your consideration. There are four levels of complexity displayed, from Beginner to Skilled. As you can see in the example graphic, an arrow is used to point to the skill level required by the recipe. A word about how the difficulty was determined. You see, cooking is seldom difficult … sure, it may be time consuming as it is basically manufacturing, it might require something new to you, and rarely, something may need to be done “just so”. Accordingly, the grade given will not be determined by the time element or the number of ingredients. Rather, it is a subjective measure of the likelihood that the average cook has used the required techniques previously. To that end, the Difficulty Scale might be better called the Familiarity Scale. After all, possessing skill at a given task is the result of familiarity.
Glossary
In an effort to provide additional detail not usually given in a cookbook, while keeping recipes as clean and concise as possible, a Glossary is included. It provides not only definitions, but expanded instructions and other important information on included topics.
Throughout the pages of this book, words or phrases in the Glossary are type set in bold underlined italics.
