The Cooking Manual: Demystifying the Cooking Process and over 80+ Great Recipes has everything you need to know about cooking indoors and outdoors. As an entrepreneur, I have traveled and eaten/dined all over the world, and I have been cooking and creating my own recipes for over forty years. I cover all the kitchen accessories--types of knives, mixers, processors, and many other useful gadgets--and how to use them, also outdoor grills, smokers, and pizza ovens. This book also contains wine tables and information on basic herbs and spices, how they are best used, and the different cuts of meats (from cow, pig, lamb, and poultry), including a section on cooking terms. I have also included pictures; I dislike cookbooks that don't show you what the food should look like. In my book, I have also included eighty-plus of my recipes that I created for friends and family from scratch, using fresh ingredients. In the recipes I basically create meals with drink pairings as well. So enjoy!
