Here's where you start learning to cook! Step by step, you are going to learn what you need to know to cook for yourself and others. But even if you are already an experienced cook, you might still want to browse through the beginning pages. You could learn something that makes you a better cook!
We start simple, and progress in easy steps. Before you know it, you will feel comfortable in the kitchen, willing to try new recipes, and even to modify them to your taste. Some of the lessons are very detailed, and you more experienced cooks might think I’m overdoing it. But remember how it was when you first learned, and realize that I’m helping novices learn from scratch. You can speed-read or skip over the stuff that you already know.
With each lesson, I'll tell you what you need to have on hand, what you are going to learn, how long it will take, how to do it, and what results you should expect. Plus, each lesson will result in one or more simple recipes so you can immediately use what you have learned.
You are also going to learn to cook without being hogtied to recipes. You will be able to look in the fridge or pantry and figure out what you can make with what you have on hand. For example, breakfast is a great time for me to use up leftovers. And I get the best breakfasts in town, right on the spur of the moment. And without any recipes, just learning to use the basic skills you'll learn here.
But it is also important to know that sometimes recipes need to be followed exactly. Especially when baking, ¼ of a teaspoon is specified for a very good reason. I’ll try to make you generally aware of when it’s ok to wing it and when it’s not.
We're going to start learning to boil water, and to make something useful from it we'll boil some eggs; soft boiled, hard boiled, and even coddled. Then use those eggs for egg salad, deviled eggs, and the Original Caesar Salad, using Caesar’s own recipe as told by his widow.
Then we'll learn how to make tuna salad, learn to cook pasta, and how to use the oven for baking and roasting. We'll cover frying, poaching, boiling, baking, barbequing, grilling, roasting, and sautéing. You'll make cheeseburgers, French fries, macaroni and cheese, salads, and other "fast food". You'll also learn to make Mexican, Italian, and other ethnic dishes, and special dinners for dates and company, like prime rib or poached salmon with orange tarragon sauce.
While I'm at it, I'm going to cover some other topics you might have missed in your earlier days how to set the table, how to carve a turkey, how to chop up an onion, cutting up chickens, how to plan a meal, defrosting stuff, and so forth.
Which napkin is yours? What the heck, you want to feel comfortable when the boss or a date takes you out to a fancy restaurant, don't you? Before you put some bread on a bread plate, you better know which plate is for you!
The last part of the book is for reference. There you can find help if you’re facing an empty kitchen that’s a strange land to you. How to outfit the kitchen with pots and pans, spices and herbs, kitchen tools, and other things you’ll need to get started, like how to start with an empty pantry or fridge. There are also some helpful tips, such as disaster recovery (how to correct some kitchen mistakes), kitchen safety, and weights and measures.
The sections on seasoning, herbs, and spices will be of interest to nearly all cooks, regardless of their experience.
I’ve added links back to the Table of Contents throughout the book to make it easy for you to jump around in the book as you use it. I realize that most eBook readers allow this already, but this way this feature is always available. They look like this TOC
The important thing is to have fun and don’t obsess over perfection. After a few lessons, you’ll be able to cut down on take-out food, eat better, and save money!
Let’s get started!

Learn to Cook 101 StepbyStep Cooking Lessons for All Ages by the Cooking Dude edition by John Choisser Children eBooks Reviews
Even for an experienced cook which I consider myself, I found interesting tips and ideas. In each segment I learned something.
Well worth reading. Easy reading. Very informative.
Regardless of how many years I have spent in my kitchen, I am always keen for further useful information and knowledge. This book taught me a few new and interesting facts. The style of writing is down to earth without being condescending. Loved it.
This is a wonderful place to start when you are ready to learn to cook. He uses proper definitions and terms without being snooty, uses regular language to describe things, and offers recipes with step by step instructions for each one, plus pictures. Even as a seasoned cook (no pun intended) I learned a few things. I will be using this book as part of my homeschool class on home economics this year. Thank you, Cooking Dude!
Great book, very practical and easy to read. You start with some thing very basic and then build upon that skill, until you start cooking different dishes. I would recommended to any one who's cooking skills are not that great, like myself.
While I enjoyed reading the Learn to Cook 101 cookbook by author John Choisser (aka the Cooking Dude) I did find some food safety errors that should have been corrected. His cookbook purports to teach novice cooks how to cook. Indeed Choisser does write a friendly and well-written cookbook that includes numerous color photos depicting the recipes. Unfortunately the book does not mention the following food safety information or uses external links for food safety information. He could have easily included that information inside his cookbook without external links or choosing to use a private cooking software site to give that information. The USDA offers food storage information, for example, that could have been directly quoted inside his cookbook.
Two major food safety errors that should be corrected include
*Brining a turkey in a trash compactor bag. Both trash bag manufacturers and I suspect other food safety authorities do not recommend the use of trash bags for preparing or storing food. In fact the following statement is given in a Michigan State University news release
"A whole turkey is placed in a large trash bag and marinated in salt brine, herbs and spices for several hours at room temperature. It is never recommended to use non-food grade materials as holding containers for food. Chemicals and non-food colors may leach into the food. MSU Extension, along with the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service recommends marinating meat in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
Make it safe - Replace the trash bag with a large oven-cooking bag. Refrigerate the turkey during the marinating process and the results will be safe and delicious." Source Downright unsafe ways to cook your turkey - Part 2"
*The author should have included a food safety statement concerning the use and eat of raw or lightly cooked eggs. The USDA does not recommend eating raw eggs.
See "Who is "at risk" for eating raw or undercooked eggs?
Infants, young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to SE infections. A chronic illness weakens the immune system, making the person vulnerable to foodborne illnesses.
No one should eat foods containing raw eggs. This includes "health food" milk shakes made with raw eggs, Caesar salad, Hollandaise sauce, and any other foods like homemade mayonnaise, ice cream, or eggnog made from recipes in which the egg ingredients are not thoroughly cooked. However, in-shell pasteurized eggs may be used safely without cooking."
I have included the links in the comments portion of this review so you can check out the sources I listed. I can not list those sources directly in this review as does not allow direct links inside reviews.
The author included several recipes using raw or undercooked eggs. Some of those recipes include
Soft Boiled Eggs
Coddled Eggs
Caesar Salad
Possibly the Microwave Hollandaise Sauce
Some of the other recipes you will find in his cookbook include
Making a Roux
Easy Beef Stew
Nachos
You will find plenty of information such as how to safely prepare a chicken or cut up stew beef. You will also find a chapter dealing with dinnertime manners.
Best of all his cookbook is friendly and chock full of useful information that can help new cooks learn how to cook. His cookbook would be so much better if he included a better source to food storage information and how to safely prepare turkey and use raw or lightly cooked eggs.
Recommend with caveats given.
edition. Purpose of cookbook is to get learner to subscribe to author’s You Tube channel. Recipes are all hyper links to authors channel. Descriptions of processes did not result in my feeling competent with resulting dishes.
I give this book 3.5 stars. It's okay. There are some helpful tips and good recipes, but something that really, really, REALLY annoys me is his insistence on using a microwave to cook some of the food (even hollandaise sauce!). I'm sorry, but that is just incredibly lazy and not my idea of real cooking. The book isn't titled "Learn To Cook the Most Expedient and Lazy Way Possible With a Microwave 101." I mean, if you went to a nice restaurant and you peaked into the kitchen and saw the cooks microwaving your food, you would probably leave.
Anyway, like I said, he does give helpful tips and there really are some good recipes.
