A good cookbook for beginners, covering a lot of basic equipment, ingredients and techniques along with many recipes. It really begins at the beginning, with e.g. and illustrated step-by-step instruction on how to mash potatoes. Go figure. The recipes I've tried have worked for the greatest part; however, for a cookbook that basic I would have expected less fancy and more 'basic'recipes, such as a simple cream soup. Then again I guess the reasoning was that you can get there yourself by following the instructions on making soup.
