The author of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking shows you how to love
your kitchen and learn to make creative, delicious food without breaking
your budget.
You can become a confident cook--even if the drawer with the take-out
menus is the only part of your kitchen you currently use! Kate Payne
shows you how to master basic cooking techniques--boiling, baking, and
sautéing--and simplifies the process of fancy ones, like jamming and
preserving, dehydrating, braising, roasting, infusing, and pickling.
With this straightforward and fun guide, you can stock up your kitchen
with the ingredients, tools, and appliances you'll actually use. You'll
also learn how to decode recipes and alter them to make them
gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan.
The Hip Girl's Guide to the Kitchen includes advice and instructions
on how to make both classic meals and foods that are typically bought,
such as yogurt; ice cream; flavored salt; oil and vinegar infusions;
kimchi; aioli; jam; granola; bread; and fruit leather--even liqueurs,
iced teas, and vegetable juices. With fun line drawings, sidebars full
of tips and tricks, and lists of resources, Kate Payne sets you up for
success and shows you how to unlock your inner kitchen prowess.
