The Kitchen Counter Cooking School: How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices Into Fearless Home Cooks by Kathleen Flinn
3.0
“If you want to save money and eat well, worry less about buying in bulk or what's on sale, Jenny stated. The number one way to save money on your grocery bill is to not waste food. You can buy in bulk, within reason, on nonperishables, but for the fresh stuff, just buy less and shop more often.”
Thank you to my friend Candice for suggesting this title to me. Flinn is a good writer and an even better cook. Although I can cook and like to, I appreciate what Flinn is trying to do in this story. Making people better cooks is a worthy task. I am amazed that Flinn took this on.
I am even more amazed at the women who were willing to take on the job of becoming better cooks. Most of us are not good at admitting we need help with anything. These women were strong enough to say that they needed help with their cooking skills. I would not have wanted to open my refrigerator and cabinet doors to a stranger. They also gave up a lot of time to take classes from someone they did not know. The women who completed the course deserve credit for what they did.
I did pick up some tips and reexamined my knife skills thanks to Flinn. I am grateful to her for writing this and to my friend for realizing I would like this book.
I also checked out An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler. I already read this cookbook once, but Flinn reminded me of Adler’s desire to use everything. Now I am working my way through that book. Cooking is a wonderful skill to have and I am glad that both Adler and Flinn have made me a better cook.
