Probably better as an on-hand reference guide than as a read cover to cover type. But very thourough, good layout, witty jokes. Despite literally being my age it hasn't aged much and isn't too dated, but it also assumes that the reader has a lot more time, money, and storage space than I think is necessary for good cooking, but that's just my opinion

This is a good overall beginning book for cooking. It provides the basics, tools that are needed, and multiple cooking techniques. There is also a section of recipes.

It's not the only cookbook you'll ever need - not by a long shot - but this is a surprisingly good starter cookbook. All the basics are here: recipies for beef stew, chicken soup, hard-boiled eggs, Thanksgiving turkey; how-tos on peeling tomatoes, mincing onions, measuring liquid and dry ingredients, cleaning mussels; and reference tables for qualities of herbs, the various pasta cheeses, and ingredient substitutions. One of the most food-soiled books in my kitchen.
