Review: My family and I love to watch the Food Network. The fancy foods always look so good and the chefs always make cooking so easy. So, I was looking forward to seeing if the book would help make sense of some of the ingredients and techniques featured on popular food programs. I really love the overall design of the book. There is a picture with every recipe which is always the very first thing I look for in a cook book. This is much more of an instructional manual as opposed to a regular cook book. Each recipe has the standard ingredient list and instructions, but there are also priceless tips and instructions throughout the book. For example, within a recipe for Shrimp, Mango, and Cashew Salad, there is an entire additional page dedicated to helping you understand how to choose and cut your mangoes and how to understand shrimp sizing. The recipes are far more advanced than what I am used to and this book is definitely for someone who wants to take a stab at gourmet cooking. The ingredients are probably not things that you already have in your cupboard which means the meals can get pretty pricey. However, if you are considering culinary school or want to improve your cooking skills, this is an inexpensive way to get started!
