In this sophistication of even adamant noncooks in today's food-obsessed climate while he sticks to an unfussy, straightforward approach that made the original such a hit. Home cooks will learn everything they need to know for years' worth of fabulous meals, from how to decipher recipe measurements to how to fry an egg or steam a lobster. Written with Sokolov's trademark wit and wisdom. "How to Cook" is an invaluable kitchen classic you'll turn to again and again.
