Synopsis

Virgin to Veteran is a cookbook with a difference! Written by Sam Stern, the
twenty-year-old prodigy and author of five successful cookbooks already to his name, this
is a modern masterclass in cooking designed to inspire and get young people (primarily twenty and
thirty-somethings) into the kitchen and cooking with confidence. The way Sam sees it,
there are only so many meals you'll ever cook, so you really should learn how to
make each one special. From mastering the basics to insider tips and techniques,
Virgin to Veteran will teach you everything you need to become a confident cook.

Starting with "Virgin Kitchen Set-Up" (the stuff you need to know to set up a
workable space) Virgin to Veteran moves on through ten chapters each focusing on a
particular ingredient or food group. Diagrams and step-by-step guides demonstrate
relevant skills such as knife-work, sauce-making and baking, while other key areas
such as sourcing and substituting ingredients, seasonality and the secrets of great
presentation are also covered. Once you've learned how to cook using a particular ingredient or technique, Sam shows other ways that you can put your newfound skills to good use. From fast food to slow, food to go or eat in, healthy to greedy, there are over 150 recipes to match every
mood, budget and lifestyle. Virgin to Veteran is chock full of useful information presented in an
engaging, accessible way that will teach young cooks the classic skills and techniques
necessary to turn out delicious, mouth-watering recipes, all of which have been updated to fit how we live now. With Sam as your teacher, you will be creating fabulous meals in no time flat!
