Dummies who cook.
Actually, I don't think I own this book, but the one I have isn't showing up.

A very easy book to follow. I don't like to cook and never really learned. This book brings people from step one..meaning what you should have in your kitchen and not just the food but the cookware you will need to actually cooking simple recipes.
This book would probably bore someone who already can cook, but is great for the novice.

My Aunt Kitty gave me this book for my college graduation, my first cookbook. Go figure! This book is not full of recipes, but is full of advice on how to navigate the kitchen.

My mother in law gave me this when I was first married, and it is a great book. It gives great basic information. Nice to have on your shelf when you have a question about food.
