[close] Destined to become a classic, this cookbook is my new go-to gift for showers and weddings. Beautifully illustrated, The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School is well organized and perfect for the beginner and experienced cook alike. Teaching essential skills for success in the kitchen with lots of gorgeous photos and step by step clear, concise directions. Charming illustrations of necessary kitchen tools utilized in the recipes is also a nice touch and I learned quite a bit reading through the tool descriptions. For instance, “a ‘spider’ is the professional kitchen’s slotted spoon. A shallow wire basket secured to a handle, the ‘spider’ is a great tool for scooping items from hot oil when deep frying, or removing vegetables from hot water.” Highly recommended.
