Mrs. Simkins' COOKING WITH MRS SIMKINS offers a wealth of tips and advice-prior to starting the cooking process-to establish a foundation for good cooking practices, regardless of the level of expertise. Mrs. Simkins provides simple breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes for daily consumption, as well as for the holidays and special occasions.
This is a cookbook that offers recipes that are destined to become mealtime favorites. Though it may seem commonplace for everyone to know how eggs are cooked, that isn't necessarily the case. Indeed, it is refreshing to see recipes for fried eggs, fried egg sandwiches, oatmeal, strawberry smoothies, and other favorites included in this cookbook. Mrs. Simkins also has recipes for special days, such as "toasted bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese," and "kippers and smoked haddock," and plenty more that would be appropriate when a little something special is needed.
Mrs. Simkins goes out of her way to insert useful notes, especially for more complex recipes, so that readers can avoid common mistakes. This is the perfect gift that can take the guesswork out of cooking for such novices as the college student or the new bride.
In all honesty, Mrs. Simkins' COOKING WITH MRS SIMKINS could be instrumental in eliminating what has been labeled-for decades-the "Freshman 15." She includes quick spaghetti, pasta, pizza, and more that can be made in less than thirty minutes. Mrs. Simkins also provides useful serving suggestions in order to avoid overeating.
Mrs. Simkins' narrative how-to format-rather than a numbered or bulleted step-by-step format-makes the text much more personable. Here is a sneak peek at Mrs. Simkins' guacamole recipe:
"Ingredients: ? a small onion, 2 perfectly ripe avocados, juice of half a lemon (or a lime), a few drops of Tabasco or some finely chopped red chilli.
Slice and chop the onion very finely. You may not need to use all of it. Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones and scrape out all the flesh into a bowl. Try to include all the brightest green, most nutritious, bits from next to the skin. Mash to a puree with a fork and mix with the onion. Add the rest of the ingredients with a little salt, if liked. Try to make this as close to serving as possible as the avocado can discolor after a while."
Ultimately, COOKING WITH MRS SIMKINS is full of simple, easy-to-make everyday recipes, as well as more elegant and exotic dishes, all of which are sure to impress. It's an absolute must have for cooks of any level, and would be the perfect addition to any kitchen.
