Learn to Cook 101 -- Step-by-Step Cooking Lessons for All Ages, by the Cooking Dude
Like this book because it allows you experiment. They start out with boiling water and then boiling eggs and what you can make with that. Has photos.
Then other steps if you prefer a different type of cooked egg. Then onto pasta, where it gives you the ingredients and tells you to add what flavors you like.
Next step is using the microwave, very easy to follow instructions for making tuna casserole.
Using potatoes and vegetables next with lots of recipes to try and different methods for cooking.
Very useful information about how to cut an avocado, make hollandaise sauce, separating eggs, cutting up chicken and stew meat,
Lots of cooking terms I've never tried, brining, making a roux,
Other methods of cooking are explained along with more recipes. Also a section on place setting and what utensil to use when.
Family feasts and their instructions are also given. Like the listing at the back: culinary terms. Love section all about herbs and spices.
How to fix disasters and even clean the burned pans!
