From the prize-winning author of Your Time to Cook and Your Time to Bake comes a clever, reader-friendly, and easy-to-follow cookbook for anyone who has said, "I wish I knew how to cook." Although for some people, preparing a five-course gourmet meal is an effortless task, others find scrambling an egg to be a monumental challenge. Everyone's Time to Cook is here to lend a helpful hand to anyone who feels overwhelmed in the kitchen.

The book begins with Cooking Class 101--a fun and enjoyable introduction to cooking basics, including an overview of useful kitchen gadgets and appliances, helpful guidelines for stocking the perfect pantry, and a review of common terms and techniques. Throughout, over 1,500 full-color photos provide visual assistance to ensure that the information is clear and accessible, whether it is a description of how to boil an egg, core a pepper, roast the perfect chicken, or even set a proper table (with forks, knives, and glasses perfectly arranged!). Hundreds of foolproof kitchen-tested recipes cover everything from breakfast dishes and party snacks to luscious soups, salads, and sides. There are delectable pasta dishes and seafood favorites, as well as entrées that spotlight chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. And, of course, let's not forget dessert! To ensure cooking success, photos accompany each recipe's step-by-step instructions, while practical tips and "tricks" make sure that every dish is both picture perfect and perfectly delicious!

Whether you are struggling with your first attempts at cooking, tired of ordering in, or simply someone who would like to gain more confidence in the kitchen, Everyone's Time to Cook is the perfect teacher. So light the candles, chill the wine, and let your love affair with cooking begin.
