My son has gone away to college and is living in an apartment with a
kitchen, and has been sending me requests like 'How do you cook this or that?'
I'd like to get him a cookbook, but I haven't yet found one I like in the
bookstores - they're either specialty books or immense. I found one that
was written for students but it assumed a lot of knowledge that I don't know
if my son has, (eg., I think he can chop onions without chopping fingers,but
a cutting board makes it more certain).
The book I want would have clear instructions and descriptions of basic
kitchen techniques (and advice on buying supplies too), written for the
intelligent but inexperienced adult who just wants to get the job done
(ie. not for a child or the hobbyist who likes cooking for its own sake)
and it would have recipes suitable for one person.
Please reply by mail - if I get a list, I'll summarize it for the net.
