At Home in the Kitchen: The Art of Preparing the Foods You Love to Eat
At Home in the Kitchen is a fresh, new approach to cooking. Supported by an interactive website, the book is the first of what is sure to be a popular new way of helping busy working women, particularly executives—who have very little time available for planning and executing complicated, exotic dishes—to prepare excellent meals every day. Having designed the book to take the mystique out of cooking, Jorj Morgan encourages readers to embrace cooking at home as a form of personal and group entertainment. Among the many helpful elements that make At Home in the Kitchen a uniquely helpful cookbook are:
- Instructions on kitchen organization
- More than 230 easy, fun, and delicious recipes
- An easy-to-read, step-by-step format, with no more than ten steps per recipe
- Recipes sorted by cooking techniques, from easiest to more elaborate
- Organized into foods the reader could eat in a restaurant
- Many tips, including definitions of terms, cooking methods, tips on substituting ingredients, and dish presentation
- Three indexes—food groups, ingredients, and cooking techniques
- Website support devoted to encouraging cooks to prepare food creatively by using the recipes in the book as a guideline, inviting website users to share their cooking experiences, finding answers to questions, and updating new recipes and menu plans
At Home in the Kitchen is a unique cookbook for the information age, combining the traditional nature of a cookbook with the flexibility of a website.
