269 Cooking & Kitchen Tips, Tricks & Techniques

Learn the Basics of How to Cook Food Better & Faster with Essential Skills for Beginners

By: Gillian Vega

Narrated by: Nathan Cox

Do you want to improve your meals instantly by applying only a few tips?

It's no secret a lot of people are stressed out about making food. Not understanding how to navigate the kitchen, recipes, and ways to cook can make it more intimidating. But the problem is that we still have to eat, no matter how much we try to avoid it. Do you want to spend less time in the kitchen with better results?

Eating can become a chore when food always seems bland, boring, overcooked, or undercooked. Ordering food becomes repetitive and expensive. Health concerns can limit your ingredients and force you to explore substitutions, and then complicated recipes can just seem to ruin the idea of cooking.

Cooking can go from uncomfortable to enjoyable, and gross to edible if you apply the cooking skills and "secrets" that chefs use.

This collection presents home cooks with a well-rounded view of both the kitchen and cooking experiences. These techniques are presented in a personable way, like a friend giving pointers to help you elevate cooking with simple adjustments, no matter your experience.

In this collection, you will find answers to things like how to:

• Sear steak to perfection
• Plan and prepare meals to save time and money
• Maintain order in your kitchen and mind
• Increase your cooking skills so you can fend for yourself
• Know the secrets of fundamental flavor and how to harness it
• Prevent and deal with fires and reduce the risk of injury
• Much, much more...

Get rid of the idea of perfection, and just get started.

Poorly done

Not sure if this was edited. I never write reviews but this is not a good book for audible. It is a list—very dry. Lots of repetitive sentences and lots of contradictions. Seriously?? If you put an oven mitt on your right hand don’t take the pan out of the oven with your left. Also, I am a good cook and I follow the directions—I do not believe that is “just following the directions” and not really cooking. I had hoped to learn something but this was an oddly written list.

poorly done

Some tips good some tips bad.. rise ur damn chicken with a light stream NOT FULL BLOWN SPRAY so the water won't go any where but the in sink then sanitize the sink..

I’m so much smarter now

I have cooking PTSD but now I’m inspired to walk in the heat of the kitchen.

Great reader. I was amazed to learn the narrator was NOT the author!!
Can’t remember either names but both are to be highly commended. I’m listening to it a second time now. Enjoying the flow. Thank you so much
