The Ultimate Kitchen Substitutions Guide: Replace Common & Uncommon Utensils, Tools & Techniques - Perfect for Home Cooks & Professional Chefs

When I was around 10, my mom started giving me simple tasks in the kitchen. She made the tasks more complex each year, and by the I was 15 or 16, I could already cook most meals from my mom’s kitchen. I was surprised how not many of my peers shared the same skills and thought of myself as a good cook or at least that I knew how to cook. But, boy, how wrong I was thinking that I know something about kitchen stuff! This book opened my eyes in a new way. Although I know how to handle groceries, mix ingredients and know what’s a well-done steak, I had no idea that one’s kitchen pantry can be so full of utensils. The great thing about this handbook is that you learn that you don’t exactly need to buy or own every piece of equipment that comes out on the market just to make a meal as it should be. Just as McLeod did with her gardening book, she created this alphabetical handbook which you can place somewhere on your kitchen shelf and search for the solution of a problem in it. It’s organized in a way to save you time and locate the answer in minutes. So, before you head out to spend some more money on the newest kitchen gadget, think if you really need it by checking McLeod’s handbook first.
