Laura –
While I was blessed by family meals around the table at home growing up, the meals were only a bit above the Standard American Diet and I did not really learn to cook as a child. I was a young adult well before the internet so I learned to cook mostly from cookbooks! I quickly found that my favorite cookbooks to learn from were the ones that included a bit of extra information about the ingredients and cooking methods in each recipe – and photographs so that I had a hint as to what my dish was supposed to wind up looking like.
This cookbook from Andrea and Alison is exactly the best type of cookbook to learn from! And because their recipes are for the most part quite unique from other cookbooks I’ve used, I am so enjoying learning from them!
I love that the ebook and print versions are included. In the kitchen I prefer working off a hard copy that I can jot notes onto, but I like to have electronic versions that I can reference on my phone when I’m at my farm store or farmer’s market (especially when something is on sale and I want to make sure I have the other ingredients for a particular recipe).
Thank you, Alison and Andrea for adding to my cooking education!
