Start Here: Instructions for Becoming a Better Cook by Sohla El-Waylly

adventurous inspiring medium-paced

3.5

This is an incredible cookbook with so many, MANY recipes. El-Waylly breaks down many important cooking techniques and really explains to the reader how to do things, pictures included, and then she includes a variety of recipes that demonstrate the specific technique she's teaching. For me, the book is fantastic but really overwhelming. It's very long, and there are almost too many recipes. This is the type of cookbook that I would need to make a project out of - I don't feel like I can randomly pick a recipe that sounds good and just try it. But, the picture are gorgeous, the writing is great, and the sheer volume and variety of recipes is incredible. I admire this cookbook a ton, I just think at this particular moment in my life, I'm not in the place to start cooking from it.
