So many of “us moms” started out our single or married life without having been given the “tools of the trade” – How to run a home. In our effort to equip you with the tools to train your children, we have chosen this book (after much review from many homeschool moms) for you. The great detail and wonderful photos make it engaging as well as very instructional. The author doesn’t take for granted that you know how to make oatmeal, but he also guides you to confidently make beautifully prepared dishes of all kinds.

With “How to Cook Everything–The Basics,” Bittman reveals how truly easy it is to learn fundamental techniques and recipes. From dicing vegetables and roasting meat to cooking building-block meals, Bittman explains what every home cook, particularly novices, should know. Includes 171 recipes and more than 1,000 instructive photographs.
