We partnered with Artisan Books to support their new cookbook, THE HAVEN’S KITCHEN COOKING SCHOOL by Alison Cayne. This is a must-own, must-read book full of useful information for anyone who is learning to cook or wants to hone their skills. This book is written in a super easy to understand voice with directions that even a novice cook can follow. The best part is that each key lesson is taught through a collection of recipes so you get real hands on learning which truly helps you master the skills! These fundamental building blocks for cooking are:
- How to Get Over Your Fear of Frying (I admit it, I was afraid)
- How to Pick & Cut Herbs (The tricks really work!)
- How to Make Stock (Didn’t try this yet, but now I know how!)
- How to Stock Your Refrigerator & Pantry (Super useful)
- How to Boil Eggs (You’d be surprised!)
- How to Make an Omelet (Who knew I was doing it wrong?)
- How to Make Dressing (The carrot-ginger dressing is unbelievable)
- How to Filet a Cooked Fish (Didn’t try this but good info)
- How to Roast Garlic (Delicious)
- How to Make & Store Sauces (Useful info)
- How to Assemble a Galette (I know, right?)
- Knife Cuts: Slice, Dice, Julienne, Oblique, Brunoise, Chiffonade, Supreme (I had no idea there were so many)
- How to Cook Vegetables: Blanche, Braise, Sautée, Roast & Grill (YES, my favorite!)
- How to Cook Proteins: Poach, Roast, Steam, Broil, & Stew (So many options!)
I’ve never taken a cooking class, but reading this book really makes you feel like you are there, in one of the classes at the cooking school in New York City. Did I mention there are 100 delicious recipes? YUM.
