At least one of your ancestors was probably a fantastic cook.
This cookbook can help you learn the cooking secrets your ancestors had memorized. And as you practice the cooking skills they took for granted then you will gradually become a gourmet cook.
This cookbook assumes you know very little, or maybe nothing, about how to prepare delicious food using basic ingredients, such as flour, baking soda, meat, vegetables, fruit, butter, eggs, herbs, and spices.
The first 6 chapters contain the really important information you need to know so you can begin your gourmet cooking adventure.
The next 26 chapters contain an impressive collection of more than 250 gourmet recipes that have very detailed instructions for each step in the food preparation process. The recipes do not assume that you already know how to cook, or that you know why some things should be done, or why other things should not be done. The recipes in this cookbook clearly explain the reasons why the instructions should be followed in order to produce a culinary miracle.
In a very short time you can become a master chef. And after your family and friends taste some of your culinary miracles then they will beg you to share your recipes with them and to please, please, please teach them how to cook the way you do.
The reason a gourmet cook is so successful is because he or she normally prepares meals that accomplish all of the following objectives at the same time:
1. The food has an enticing aroma.
2. The food has a very desirable appearance.
3. The food has a delightful pleasant taste.
4. The food satisfies the person's hunger for at least a few hours.
5. The food can be easily and quickly digested.
6. The vitamins and nutrients in the food have been preserved and they can be easily absorbed into the body.
7. The food facilitates the long-term health of the person who eats it.
All gourmet cooks gradually modify their recipes as they gain experience and as they learn new things. The best way to become a great gourmet cook is to start with a great recipe. If you start with an average recipe, or with a good recipe, then it will take more of your time, and more of your money invested in ingredients, in order to gradually convert that recipe into something you can take pride in. There is nothing wrong with this approach if you have the patience, and the time, and the money to invest in gradually and slowing enhancing your cooking skills and your favorite recipes. On the other hand, if you start with a superior recipe, then you may discover that you like the recipe exactly the way it is. Or you may decide to gradually make small changes to the recipe to see if those changes impact the results in a favorable or unfavorable manner. By starting very close to your personal finish line, you will be able to arrive there quicker while spending less money.
The recipes in this gourmet cookbook are superior recipes. However, no recipe anywhere in this cookbook will please everyone because different people have different taste preferences, and there is nothing unusual about that.
Some of the recipes in this cookbook only require two or three ingredients. However, this cookbook also includes recipes that require ten or more ingredients. Some of the recipes are very simple and they can be completed in 5 minute or less. However, some of the recipes require several hours to complete.
This cookbook includes recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are chapters on appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, main dishes, vegetables, desserts, and international cuisine. Each recipe chapter contains between 3 to 29 different recipes, or an average of about 9 recipes per chapter.
In conclusion, this cookbook begins by carefully explaining "How to Become a Gourmet Cook," and then this cookbook provides more than 250 gourmet recipes for you to pick from so you can begin your gourmet cooking adventure.
