The Cooking Book

Fancy bread, hearty soups and fruity upside-down cake are among the 50 accessible recipes in The Cooking Book by Jane Bull. One of the original designers of DK's signature Eyewitness series, Bull spices up the paper-over-board volume with bold graphics and clear step-by-step photographs. A ""Getting Started"" section lays out the basics, including safety tips, measurement conversions and nutrition. (Aug.)
