What's a Cook to Do? by James Peterson is an essential for every cook- from those just starting out to the seasoned pro. This book has quickly become one that I frequently turn to to refresh my skills, or lack thereof! It covers the basics from how to chop, dice, and julienne a carrot to how to make fresh home-made pasta (we will come back to this lesson!) to how to carve a turkey.
What's a Cook to Do provides 484 detailed instructions, with photographs, so anyone can follow the toughest of culinary duties. What kind of pan should I purchase? How do I wash leeks? And what do I do to rescue flavorless fruits? I now hold the knowledge to the answers of these questions! What's a cook to do? Um, they should go and buy this book!
