About the Book

Over the past decade, home cooks have had access to products that they had never dreamed of: truffles, flavored vinegar, exotic seafood, frozen stocks, produce and condiments from different cultures, and countless types of olive oil, to name just a few. At the same time, the technology of cooking equipment has narrowed the gap between home and professional kitchens. Whether you fancy yourself a hotshot home cook or someone who wouldn't know a balloon whisk from a balloon animal, Cooking For Dummies, 2nd Edition, can help you. For the novice, our technique-oriented approach shows you the "whys" of cooking and not just the "whats" found in traditional recipe books. That way, you eventually can create dishes all on your own. For the more experienced cook, you can hone your skills and expand your culinary repertoire. This book is for you if you want to * Set up a kitchen for the first time * Make some "Mom food" without calling mom * Entertain economically * Plan meals for special occasions * Save time in the kitchen Develop your talent by knowing how to set up your cooking space, using the right tools, and buying quality ingredients.
