This book is so helpful. If you are looking for a starter guide book to help you learn and gain confidence in the kitchen, this is the book to buy, own, keep, and share. : )

Concise guide to what kitchens and cooking are all about.

This book is a must have and worth your money. I can see that it will help train me to be knowledgeable in spices, flavors and cooking than I have been without it.

The book itself was what I was expecting. What I wasn’t expecting was my supposedly “brand new” copy to be marked up in highlighter. It’s very clearly not a new copy and I wouldn’t have purchased this if I had known it was a used copy.

The product was delivered timely and was just as described. I am very pleased with this purchase.
