Bored of beans? Sick of soup? Whether you're just heading off to university or in your first few years away from home, then being able to cook for yourself is a great source of independence and a good way to save the pennies.

From Spanish Omelette and Pad Thai to Fruit Crumble and Brownies, each carefully selected recipe is clearly presented with step-by-step instructions and stylish artworks, whilst a stunning photograph of the finished dish will inspire you to see the results that can be achieved with a little creativity. Further ideas for variations on recipes, including vegetarian options, and key cookery tips will encourage budding chefs to experiment with ingredients and create great dishes they will cook time and time again.
A lively, fun and sophisticated introduction to cooking, How to Cook is the perfect gift for teenagers and students just starting out, to inspire them to whip up their own kitchen creations and become enthusiastic about food for life.
