| Dear Home Cooks, I vividly remember the day after I graduated from culinary school. I wanted to make sure that I remembered and made good use of what I had learned. At that point, I had already been teaching cooking classes for several years. I wanted to sort out not only what was important to me, but what would be important to pass on to my students who would be cooking at home without a lot of professional equipment. So I sat down and made a list. I wrote down everything I could think of. Then I went back through my notes from other cooking schools and all of my years of intense hobby cooking and added more. From that moment on, I began designing classes for my students that illustrated the tips and techniques that I believed made me a better cook. Over the next few years, I taught them to many others, incorporating my own personal touches. This exercise naturally culminated in this book. Every one of those tips that I wrote down is somewhere in this book. So home cooks… This book is for you. It’s chock full of professional tips that really work at home. It’s about how to intensify flavor and how to take the stress out of cooking by planning ahead. It’s about mastering the basics and understanding how one recipe can become many other things. It’s about how to turn any recipe into something you really love to eat and how to save money doing it. It will teach you all the major cooking techniques and will help you make beautiful and tasty, yet inexpensive food prepared right at home. --- Chef Lynn |
