Acclaimed chef, TV star, and dedicated father Hugh Acheson taught his teenage daughters that cooking is an essential life skill. But he also knew that people dont need toknow how tocook like a chef to feed themselves and their friends. Really, they only need to learn a handful of skills to enjoy a lifetime of cooking.

So, inHow to Cook, Hugh distills the cooking lessons that everyone should master into twenty-five basic building blocks: easy-to-grasp recipes that can turn anyone, young or old, into a confident home cook. Each of these recipes teaches a fundamental skill, such as roasting or whisking together a classic vinaigrette, and each stands alone as a stellar back-pocket basic. After laying the groundwork,How to Cookthen offers recipes that expand on these foundations, whether its remixing the flavors of one of the basic recipes, or combining a couple of them, to show you how you can produce a lifetimes worth of dishes.

How to Cookis the book Hugh is going to give his kids when they leave home, knowing that with these 100 recipes, theyll be prepared to feed themselves for the rest of their lives.
