Excellent. Teaching my husband to cook and he is glued to this. Perfect for a beginner, Cover’s what we seasoned cooks take for granted including ‘must haves’ equipment such as which type of knife and pan you do and don’t need.

All black and white, not many pictures. Makes the book look really boring.
