Penned by Katie Sullivan Morford, the cookbook is targeted at students and recent graduates, and breaks down cooking into 10 basic lessons that are essential for knowing your way around the kitchen. This will provide beginners with the knowledge they need to cook for themselves and, eventually, friends or family to show off their newly honed skills.
