Did You Know?
What is the best type of cookbook to buy if I'm a beginner cook?
The best type of cookbook for a beginner
is one that has a front section devoted entirely to explaining
different cooking terms, measurement conversions and adequate
substitutions.
The recipes should be simple to prepare but not boring. A great
tip when buying a beginner's cookbook is to find one that has
a sturdy cover, good binding such as the type found in a three-ring
binder, and pages that are not easily stained. Betty Crocker has
an excellent cookbook that works well for beginners.
