I bought this 10 years ago and still use it as a cooking reference, broken spine and all. Many of the classics add some ingredient or method that makes them extra delicious. There is also a healthy mix of non-traditional recipes (like cold avocado soup) that have become regular in my house. ( )

This is a classic cookbook that I recommend to any adult who is starting out in the kitchen. The recipes are somewhat complicated, involving lots of steps, but the results are phenomenal. Even novice chefs can produce gourmet results. ( )

My favorite cookbook. I am constantly refering to it for information and recipes. I only wish it had color photos to enhance what I am trying to make.... ( )

Underutilized. Oh, there's dozens of pages marked with recipes I want to try, but honestly, I don't get around to it. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0894803417, Paperback)

While it won't tell you how to boil an egg, Lukins and Rosso's The New Basics has proved itself a modern classic, fit to reside on your shelves next to The Joy of Cooking and The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Aspiring chefs can use this 850-page tome to plan their next cocktail party (try the Raspberry Dip with Crudites), make brunch for the in-laws (how about Smoked Salmon and Leek Frittata and a Chicory and Bacon Salad?), or even bake up a batch of Pinwheel Cookies for the office. The "basics" include tips for entertaining, a glossary of cooking and wine terms, suggestions for a well- stocked pantry, and instructions on how to pick the best seasonal ingredients. Menus and delightful culinary quotes are sprinkled throughout the book, and the chatty tone will inspire confidence in every kitchen.
