    Summary: 
    "An empowering collection of impressive recipes that will teach young adults and kitchen novices all the skills they need to cook for themselves--from a James Beard Award-winning chef and author"---Provided by publisher.
    Acheson taught his teenage daughters that cooking is an essential life skill. Here he shares twenty-five basic building blocks: easy-to-grasp recipes that can turn anyone, young or old, into a confident home cook. These building blocks are: poached eggs, vinaigrette, salad, sauteed mushrooms, potato hash browns, burgers, baked sweet potatoes, foolproof rice, beans (and peas), slow-roasted pork shoulder, cooking pasta, tomato sauce, slow-roasted soy-garlic tofu, grilled cheese, slow-roasted onions, roasted vegetables, sauteed greens, slaw: simple and classic, sofrito, roasted chicken, cooking steak (or other thick meats), pan-roasted fish, polenta and grits, purees: soup and beyond, four simple sauces. Each of these recipes teaches a fundamental skill, and each stands alone as a stellar back-pocket basic. Acheson then offers recipes that expand on these foundations. -- adapted from front flap.
