The How-To Guide:
This book taught me a lot about the basics of cooking. The first few chapters are a base for every cook including: a decription of every piece of kitchen equipment you'll ever need, a decription of the various temperatures for cooking and baking and there extreme importance, and an introduction to several cutting methods. The chapters are very well separated and the recipes are of a wide range; starting form simply cooking eggs to sweet souffles. If your new to cooking this book is irreplaceable, the instructions are detailed and easy to follow.

Jamie taught me how to be an efficient cook. His approach to cooking is simple and creative. As long as your ingredients are fresh and good-quality this book will help you produce amazing meals. Some recipes to note that are especially fantastic: Rhubard Millefeuille (great for summer BBQ's) and Rib- Eye Stirfry. The book also includes a lot of simple curry recipes which are easy to make.

The Perfect Scoop

After purchasing a Kitchen-Aid Ice Cream Maker attachment for our mixer this has been in constant use. Although the recipes take time and effort the results are fantastic. I recommend making your ice cream the night before and placing it in the fridge and freezing it the next day as the outcome seems to have been better for me. This is great for the upcoming summer months and who doesn't love a nice bowl of ice cream!
