"The Basics: A really useful cookbook"
Anthony Telford
'Tired of cookbooks with a mess of complicated instructions, exotic ingredients, and completely unachievable photographs of food that only a chef could prepare?' (the blurb forgot to mention Photoshop)
Thanks for asking, Mr. Telford. Because frankly, I am.
So I got this book for my eighteenth birthday last year and absolutely love it. It includes simple recipes like baked ham to more complex ones such as *cough cough* lemon meringue pie, all with simple instructions and affordable ingredients. Complete with tips and hints to make every meal a success. No pictures but I think that makes it a better book as I don't feel dejected when my food doesn't come out of the oven miraculously airbrushed and identical to the book's version.
If you like cooking, are seeking independence or just need something to read, this is definitely a worthwhile choice.
Plus the author gives his kids unusual names like Chile and Sapphire.
