Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Companion: The A to Z Guide to Everyday Cooking, Equipment & Ingredients (Williams-Sonoma Lifestyles)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Kitchen Supplement for Everyone
Review: I originally bought this book for a friend who was afraid of her kitchen. She's been married for two years now, and LOVES this book! I bought a copy for myself and have similarly found it useful.
This book is convienent to use during the cooking process: if you don't understand a certain word in a recipe, look it up in the Kitchen Companion! It's alphabetically organized by ingredient or term and is meant to be used with recipes, not by itself. The entries offer a description of the item as well as helpful cooking suggestions and even some interesting background information on where things come from. It's beginner-friendly, and is a joy for more experienced cooks as well.
