Book Review of The Kitchen Counter Cooking School: How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices into Fearless Home Cooks

reviewed on + 26 more book reviews


Whether you are a great cook or a horrible cook, this book is for you. Kathleen Flinn walks a class of novice home cooks through all the basics in the kitchen so they can free themselves from having others prepare all their meals.

I consider myself a good cook (haven't killed anyone yet!) and I learned many wonderful things from this book. The recipe for 5 minute bread and homemade vinaigrette using the end of a jam/jelly jar have been used repeatedly in my home.

I recommend this book to my friends who tell me how they hate to cook and are afraid to cook. Flinn helps her students (and the reader) through many different tasks in the kitchen to help you make life easier and save some money.

Well written and an easy read.
