Читать книгу A Smart Girl's Guide: Cooking - Patricia Daniels - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Maybe you already love bustling in the kitchen. Maybe

you want to, but you think it’s hard or scary. Maybe you

never give a thought to how food is made when you open

your lunch or ask what’s for dinner. Whichever girl you are,

this book is for you. It’s about more than what recipe to

cook. This book will show you how to cook.

Why do you want to know how? Let’s count the ways.

1. Cooking is creative and fun.

2. It’s easy. Anyone can learn—including you.

3. Sharing a snack or a meal with family or friends is one

of the joys of life.

4. Knowing how to cook means you get to choose what

you eat. Yum!

5. Making your own food keeps you healthier, because

you decide what to put in your body.

6. When you’re older, you’ll care that it saves you time

and money.

7. Cooking is cool!

In this book, you’ll learn the basics that will set you on the

road to cooking independence: what those pots and pans

are for, how to handle tools like a pro, how to measure

flour and peel a carrot and roast a chicken. Also: how to

read a recipe top to bottom, how to shop smart, and how

to plan a meal from savory start to sweet finish. You may

even pick up some clever cooking tips that your parents

don’t know. And you’ll learn to do it all safely, because

staying safe is the first and last rule of cooking.

So let’s get cracking!

Your friends at American Girl
