Purposeful Cooking for Novices

This book reflects the author's lifetime experiences with, and love of, a good nosh. It takes the novice would-be or have-to-be cook on a cooking odyssey. It does not simply present a collection of recipes, although the chosen 100 are an eclectic enticement presented in a novel how-to-do format. Rather, it guides the novice on how to begin, how to

shop, how to build a pantry and kitchen toolkit to even completing the challenge of planning, preparing and hosting an elegant home dinner party. It takes a novice cook to a purposeful one who can truly walk the walk from their kitchen to their table with confidence. In so doing, it can transform cooking as a chore to cooking as an enjoyable hobby. It did me, it can do you.
