Do you want to eat really well-not just once in a while, but all the time-yet you don't know where to begin
Are you tired of pizza, much as you like it, and broke from buying take-out
Do you love good food-the straightforward homemade kind-but feel challenged to set up a kitchen, shop for decent groceries, and tap into a few basic skills that can put a simple roast chicken or vegetarian casserole on your dinner table


If your answers to these questions are "yes," then Get Cooking is for you, the first in a series of cookbooks for beginners of all ages from Mollie Katzen, the bestselling author of The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Here are 125 foolproof , basic recipes for soups, homemade pasta, roast chicken, burgers, vegan specialities, chocolate chip cookies-and more-that anyone can enjoy making, no matter how inexperienced in the kitchen.


Get Cooking will be accompanied by the launch of a companion website that will offer cooking lessons via a series of state-of-the-art videos. Instructive and entertaining, the videos will cover everything from knife-sharpening to tofu-grilling (and many, many chocolate pudding variations).
