Review: A MUST-HAVE for any kitchen - The digital world is nice and convenient, but if you are a serious cook or are learning about cooking.. YOU MUST GET THIS BOOK while you can. It is chock full of knowledge about ingredients of all kinds. Have you ever been in the grocery store and said "I wonder what that is? Have you ever been doing a recipe and did not know what a certain ingredient was? THIS BOOK will tell you quickly and show you a photo AND explain in detail the differences between types of say onions, apples etc. I bring it with me to the store! So glad I found this book and I have sent it to all my loved ones who are learning to cook. Kindle is fine, but it will never replace a great book! It is so easy to find what you are looking for as the table of contents is laid out so cleverly. Fast and easy!
Review: You will never need another book on food....this one covers it all in DK style we have come to expect and appreciate! - Absolutely floored with the extensive, intensive information and the photography! Beautiful book. You will never need another book concerning every type of meat, vegetable, herb, spice, cheeses, etc except this one! You can throw out all the other "cookbooks". Incredible! As an aside, this is the quality and attention to the tiniest of details that I expect from DK Publishing, and was sorely disappointed when I ordered a DK Publishing book on Buttons....the book I received looked like someone ripped out one chapter on someone's personal collection of buttons and bound it and sold it to me! I feel cheated with the Button book. DK Pub, if anyone there is listening, please publish a "proper" DK book on Buttons! I'm just saying!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for learning about ingredients
*by S***D on February 2, 2011*

How many times have you not bought something because you don't know how to cook it or how to buy it? This is the book for you! I have a pretty large collection of cookbooks in my home. This is by far the most interesting one. It explains how to buy, store and eat/cook a large number of different ingredients. The book is divided into fish, meat, vegetables, herbs, nuts & seeds, spices, dairy & eggs, fruits, grains/rice/pasta/noodles and oils/vinegars/flavorings. If you do not want to know where your meat comes from, I suggest you skip the meat chapter. All in all, an excellent reference book for anyone who is serious about cooking!
