Kitchen on Fire: Cooking Class at Home

12 Week Cooking Course at Home:

The theme of the book is 12 weeks to better cooking, and the chapters are broken down by weeks. Each week, you get a topic and set of techniques to work on, and the best part is – every section is fully photographed or illustrated.

Chapters in the book: Knife Skills and Mise en Place; Sauteeing, Stir-Frying, and Searing; Stocks, Soups, and Poaching; Frying and Confit; Stewing, Braising, and Steaming; Sauces, Condiments, and Dips; Roasting and Broiling; Grilling; Yeast Breads; Quick Breads and Batters; Starches, Grains, and Pastas; The Incredible Egg. There is also a science of cooking chapter, cooking ingredient chapter, and a tool chapter.

A great resource for anyone wanting to take an at-home cooking course in their very home or to brush up on the basics. Great book.
