The fact you don't have more subscribers kills me I just subscribed and assumed you had a couple hundred thousand and was shocked when you didn't hopefully you will blow up one day cause these videos are to good not to be noticed!!

Thanks! I think if I posted more I would get more traction. Once I reach 1K and get monetized I’m planning on making more videos.

Jacques' name is pronounced more like Jack. He's video all over KZbin and a totally awesome chef/teacher. Thanks for sharing your book list.

Hey! Thanks for giving these recommendations. I’m a visual learner but I’m trying my best to actually read cookbooks just so I can understand professional techniques and how they are described aside from what cooks say on KZbin lol.

[@cookbookreviews9848]

If you’re a visual learner, definitely pick up Pepin’s book. Using KZbin videos is good, you can watch those and then supplement with books. There’s no wrong way to learn how to cook!

I have seen Jacques Pépin New Complete Techniques recommended by several channels. I will need to check it out.

My favorite cook book is the 14th edition of Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. Very comprehensive and informative, and just a great all around cook book, but very hard to find. Newer editions are beautiful, but not nearly as useful!

Thank you for all your videos

I own two of those I would recommend anything published by cooks illustrated esp their book on poultry if you like the history of stuff Clifford wrights book the Mediterranean feast is awesome for science stuff Harold McGee wrote on food and cooking I like books on depression era cooking simple recipes that are creative that feed a lot nothing fancy just good recipes kinda stuff I baked bread for years I got a few decent books on baking bread but once you understand bread the books aren’t necessary If you like fancy stuff I still argue the French laundry book is amazing but your not gonna be able to replicate any of it at home As much as I don’t like Michael ruhlman he wrote a book called ratio which breaks things down to the ratio this the minimum you need to make this or that

[@cookbookreviews9848]

I talk about the Ratio book briefly in my Cooking at Home review. I found the book to be really useful when I was winging recipes at home. I haven't read too much on Michael Ruhlman however.

@@balakumar4527 The Food Lab is definitely worth a purchase if you don’t have it!

@@KidCudisthegoat thanks a lot... For your valuable advice 👍

[@larryellis2218]

I disagree that "The Food Lab" is for beginners. Very complex, great for experienced cooks.

Great video 👍.

I need a cookbook that teaches me the very basics how to make gravy, biscuits, etc.. I'm out of work and i just use to buy frozen meals, now i can't afford to buy food like that. I can cook meat afer several different rice cookers failed me i can only cook rice in my cast iron pot. (Seriously i failed to cook rice in a rice maker) i just made my first pan of flour gravy for my rice, i need the book that can teach low dollar basics of cooking not the fancy meals cookbook. Any books like that out there?

[@eq5450]

I'd recommend looking at cookbooks aimed at students. I learnt the very basics of cooking from the Nosh books (in the UK) and they were so so helpful. Depending on the book you get, a lot of student cookbooks will even tell you price per serving at the time of writing, and will categorise sections by price, e.g. "on a budget", "just before payday"

[@WordsToCookBy]

One cookbook that was surprisingly approachable for us was Indian-ish by Priya Krishna. There are some complex recipes but it has sections on microwaving rice and quinoa, a dirt simple tilapia dish, and some other simple recipes that are bangers. That being said, I think Betty Crocker Cookbook Everything You Need to Cook Today would be a good option.
