If your answers to these questions are "yes," then GET COOKING is for you. GET COOKING is the first in a series of cookbooks for beginners of all ages from Mollie Katzen, the bestselling author of The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest.

GET COOKING will be accompanied by the launch of a companion website that will offer cooking lessons via a series of state-of-the-art cooking videos. These videos will be instructive and entertaining, illustrating everything from knife-sharpening to tofu-grilling (and many, many chocolate pudding variations)"--Provided by publisher.
