Amazon.com Review:
While it won't tell you how to boil an egg, Lukins and Rosso's The New Basics has proved itself a modern classic, fit to reside on your shelves next to The Joy of Cooking and The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Aspiring chefs can use this 850-page tome to plan their next cocktail party (try the Raspberry Dip with Crudites), make brunch for the in-laws (how about Smoked Salmon and Leek Frittata and a Chicory and Bacon Salad?), or even bake up a batch of Pinwheel Cookies for the office. The "basics" include tips for entertaining, a glossary of cooking and wine terms, suggestions for a well- stocked pantry, and instructions on how to pick the best seasonal ingredients. Menus and delightful culinary quotes are sprinkled throughout the book, and the chatty tone will inspire confidence in every kitchen.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
This is a wonderful cookbook. It has great recipes, quotes and snippets throughout the book. It also provides many tips (though not about cooking couscous) and ideas for multiple dishes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - new basics cookbook
Wonderful cookbok, great recipies. I bought my wife a new copy and we give the book out as gifts.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Shouldn't be called basics
When I think of a 'basics' cookbook, I think of the simple version of the recipe, or an least ingredients I can find easily at a super market. I am sure the recipes in here are delicious, however I am far to intimidated to try them because I don't even know what most of the igredients or final products are. The format of the book is fantastic. I do love flipping through it!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best cook book I own.
I love to cook and I have many cook books. The typical problem with cook books is that they often call for ingredients I don't have on hand or outlandish amounts of time that a single working mom just doesn't have. This cook book is phenomenal. It calls for basic types of ingredients (basic for me anyway), easy steps and phenomenal outcomes. Since I got this cookbook I've averaged using it 3x/week which is a great deal for me. I plan on using this cook book as gifts for neices/nephews as they ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - "The New Basics" - An Adventure in False Advertising
After moving into my first apartment while in college I bought this cookbook hoping it would be the only cookbook I'd need - 10 years later I've perhaps made a total of 10 recipes and each one has been underwhelming to say the least, never to be repeated. As far as actual recipes go, it is by far the least useful cookbook in my house.

Lets start with the so-called "basics." New England Clam Chowder, to me the ultimate comfort soup. Using this book's recipe the result is an off-color ... Read More
