Joy of Cooking

Jeff W · #1 05-25-2005, 11:17 PM

I want to learn how to cook. Right now, I suck at cooking. Half of my food comes out bland or dry. Should I read Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker? Will this be enough to transform me into a culinary virtuoso?

Thanks for your advice.

I believe JoC is more a cook book then anything else, but according to my mom, it pwns.

Your mom did not say pwns.

It is not enough.

Only practice will be sufficient. You should make many different things many different times. Go to epicurious.com for recipes.

Your sentence does not make any sense, that's what's confusing.
