Sticking to 1 style ina Cookbook would be terrible was just thinking about a cookbook for weekly recipes and if it didn’t have stuff from all over it would be lame. 2:00
I've bought a couple of cookbooks hoping to find recipes that could help me. Since I found out that I have stage 3 chronic kidney disease and pre-diabetic, I have no idea what or how to cook. I'm used to my pop tarts and microwave meals. Anyhow, these cookbooks have ingredients I would never use. Also they are not easy. They have way too many ingredients and they don't look appetizing. I just found this channel, and enjoy watching it.
Greetings and Salutations I only had a saltine cookbook as a kid I have recently been able to get from 1 coffee enthusiasts platter to the next coffee enthusiasts platter Good Luck Thanks 😊
I know with some cookbooks from movies or video games sometimes are pretty cool and some foods do look pretty good to like for an example I do have a minecraft hunters and gatherings cookbook some of the recipes and pictures do look good and some seems like they would be easy to make up and some might require extra time
Strongly disagree with the pop culture cookbooks. Obviously some are better than others, like if they brand themselves as Unofficial, then they're probably going to be cutesy fluff. But a lot of the Official cookbooks are genuinely good, and have some surprisingly diverse recipes in them. I own the Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Stardew Valley, and Avatar: The Last Airbender cookbooks, and they are all excellent. I've made several recipes Hell, the one that shocked me is the Sonic The Hedgehog cookbook contains THE BEST hot dog chili recipe I've ever had (I don't own that one, I saw the recipe in MisoHungrie's review and had to make it). Also I wouldn't discount RU-vidr chefs' books. Usually if you follow a specific RU-vidr chef it's because you like the food that they specifically make. If it's actually their cookbook, then you're getting their recipes AND supporting their channel. I know Binging With Babish has a couple of excellent books, as does Korean chef Maangchii. Hell, B Dylan Hollis has one of the best cookbooks I've ever read, the only cookbook I've literally sat down and read cover to cover for the entertainment value.
look there's genius in her book cause its simple ideals that are tried and true. fuck the netflix show, that is her being obligated to do food porn. i just made the best jalapeno jack grilled cheese that probably has ever occured. but all the things were there. cheese, butter, tomato soup and toasted in butter bread. these four things are fundamental to modern cooking. love yall keep cooking❤
Thank you so much for this fantastic review. Such a great breakdown to get a feel for it. I didn't want to buy it in case it was a recipe book as there are so many recipes online, but since it isn't I'll go buy it. Thank you for your time!
Well, a couple of things to share, but first; thanks for making and posting this video. First, as a kid, I got two small paperback Charlie Brown cookbooks for kids, and I went off and running with them ! So, maybe for a kid who might already show an interest in cooking, those Star Wars, etc, might be a fun, nice, helpful gift idea. Next, YES, please do avoid, or be careful with celebrity cookbooks. I was asked to be a part of one over where I live, with the understanding I could use one of my grandmother's depression era, quite delicious recipes in it. I was told yes, but after submitting the recipe, I was told no, and had a bunch of cookbooks checked out from the local library and asked to pick an easy one from there. I was told all the top celebrities involved with the book had done the same, and I should as well. I backed out. The guy still ended up using a photo of me in the book, so I got a lawyer involved, and the publishing company who were non the wiser regarding everything he'd done to get that book together, removed my photo from father printings. They also spent less money on future printings and canceled his second book they were planning on doing because the pre-sales for this one were off the chart.
My mother is a shut-in and can't use the oven because it doesn't work. She doesn't have the money to fix it. She does have a microwave, and this is the perfect thing to make sure she gets her protein (eggs, etc). I'm sorry the rest of you think that everyone else lives like you.
Hey i know you posted this awhile ago, but any chance you can post the recipe for her double chocolate variation on her chocolate chip cookies? I wabt to use her dough as a base.
You are absolutely right about cookbook reviews being a very specific niche, but there are lots of us who still love to hold a good book in our hands. Also I got the subscribe button as soon as you said your critique the writing. I got hooked on some stonewall media influencer cookbooks last year and I had a used time taking the recipe seriously because the wiring was terrible or was obvious that the authors told a short story at the beginning then they focused on the recipe. I found the book was borings and I could have scrolled RU-vid and find better recipes I wanted to know more about the author and how the book came about
I would add avoiding books geared towards very experienced chefs and cooks such as Larousse Gastronomique or Silver Spoon. Fantastic books; I own both, but have never made anything from them at this point. However, The Professional Chef provides a wealth of useful information for people of any level. Silver Palate is probably my most used cookbook in terms of actual used recipes. It's literally falling apart from use.
2 years ago she posted a video about why she went vegan. she said that her husband is why she went vegan and the story about her dad was why she decided to stay vegan
I need a cookbook that teaches me the very basics how to make gravy, biscuits, etc.. I'm out of work and i just use to buy frozen meals, now i can't afford to buy food like that. I can cook meat afer several different rice cookers failed me i can only cook rice in my cast iron pot. (Seriously i failed to cook rice in a rice maker) i just made my first pan of flour gravy for my rice, i need the book that can teach low dollar basics of cooking not the fancy meals cookbook. Any books like that out there?
I'd recommend looking at cookbooks aimed at students. I learnt the very basics of cooking from the Nosh books (in the UK) and they were so so helpful. Depending on the book you get, a lot of student cookbooks will even tell you price per serving at the time of writing, and will categorise sections by price, e.g. "on a budget", "just before payday"
One cookbook that was surprisingly approachable for us was Indian-ish by Priya Krishna. There are some complex recipes but it has sections on microwaving rice and quinoa, a dirt simple tilapia dish, and some other simple recipes that are bangers. That being said, I think Betty Crocker Cookbook Everything You Need to Cook Today would be a good option.
I saw this originally on target website. My bestie is very much a gourmet cook and loves it. Super precise! I was like she would love this. I’m glad the review is good! Thanks
Very good advice..As Im always adding to my cookbook collection I tend to stay away from the ones you pointed out in this video...but some of the celeb chefs do have classical training and are about cooking...so I do have some who are on TV..but not many
