EDITOR'S CHOICE: BOOKS FOR NEW COOKS
************************************
My college-age brother is learning to cook this summer. Of
the various titles on my cookbook shelf, the one we keep
returning to is Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything." It
has a calm, clear answer to every cooking query my brother
poses--and the recipe for Rich Buttermilk Waffles is worth
the price of admission! Here are a few more of the great
cookbooks we've consulted during our summer-long cooking
class.
