For any cook, illustrated step-by-step instructions that explain an unfamiliar technique or guide them through the crucial part of a recipe can be invaluable. The Illustrated Step-by-Step Cook recognizes the importance of this and in classic DK style includes a photographic sequence of more than 300 classic recipes, positioned alongside the recipe so the reader doesn't have to go searching for it in a separate techniques section.

Particularly useful for relative beginners, by providing reassurance and demystifying methods that are new to them, the Illustrated Step-by-Step Cook allows anybody to cook classic recipes perfectly and with confidence.
