Fun Fact Filled Book
Saw How To Break An Egg : 1,453 Kitchen Tips, Food Fixes, Emergency Substitutions and Handy Techniques at my daughter-in-law's and couldn't put it down! I think I've found the perfect engagement/shower gift for the new bride!
Great for Beginners
I borrowed How To Break An Egg : 1,453 Kitchen Tips, Food Fixes, Emergency Substitutions and Handy Techniques from my local library and looked through it and realized that I had to have a copy of my own. It is a book with very clever ideas on using kitchen equipment, fruits, veggies, you name it. It even has answers to questions that I've always wondered about like.....Why will potatoes and onions spoil more quickly if you store them together?
I like to cook more now because I'm more informed about foods, utensils and equipment. This would be a great wedding shower gift for any young woman starting her own family and who isn't very experienced in the kitchen. I don't know if it would be useful for more experienced cooks because I'm not one. Hopefully that helps.
review for How to Break an Egg
I've been cooking for more years than I like to count, but How To Break An Egg : 1,453 Kitchen Tips, Food Fixes, Emergency Substitutions and Handy Techniques gave me a lot of tips I never came across before, plus a handy color photographic section on de-shelling lobsters and shrimp and pitting various fruits. However, the tip on shelling hard boiled eggs, one of my cross-eyes bears, didn't work for me. For any home cook, though, this is wonderful recreational, as well as useful, reading.
Helpful for experienced cooks and new ones too!
I love to pick How To Break An Egg : 1,453 Kitchen Tips, Food Fixes, Emergency Substitutions and Handy Techniques up and just read a few pages (I always learn something!) It has also helped me several times when I had a question about how to keep something fresh or how I can substitute ingredients. I gave it to one of my best friends for Christmas and she was thrilled. I have to admit that I am a great fan of Fine Cooking magazine and cookbooks.
A Must Have
This is a must have book for even a professional chef / cook. It is filled with all kinds of great tips that I doubt even a master chef knows.
