Having Trouble Picking the Right Cook Book?

Looking at cookbooks can be so overwhelming! They are designed to look pretty and to entice you to buy them. But choosing the right one for you is important. You want to choose one that makes it easy for you to follow and to help you make the recipe a success.

If you are a more inexperienced cook, choose a book that has great pictures and helps show you how it works and that gives you step by step instructions that you feel comfortable with. Also make sure that you pick books that have easy recipes with simple and few ingredients. If you start out with something too complicated you could get discouraged and frustrated. You want to pick things that you will be able to do and that will taste yummy and allow you to just have fun in the kitchen!

As you become more advanced, still go with recipe formats that make you feel comfortable. This is a great time to start trying new ingredients and new techniques but don’t get discouraged!!!! Remember that you are trying something new and it may take a few times to get it right.

All in all…just make sure you are taking time to really look through a cook book before you buy one, make sure that there are at least 10 recipes that you know that you will try to make. It’s not just a decoration; it is supposed to be used! Used to make you and your kitchen happy! Enjoy!
