The Homemade Kitchen

The Homemade Kitchen by Alana Chernila is a stunning tool for the kitchen.  Whether you are a seasoned cook, or one just learning the enjoyment of preparing meals and food for yourself, family and friends, The Homemade Kitchen will be your reference for healthy and flavorful cuisine.  The beginning of the book is filled with recipes and instructions for the basics in cooking.  Chernila even addresses this calling her chapters: Start Where You Are, Be A Beginner, and Feed Yourself.  She covers many categories throughout her book and ends appropriately with Don’t Be Afraid of Food. 

She addresses the preparation of food in a way that many who feel they can’t cook or don’t know how to cook will be able to embrace and feel comforted by her no nonsense approach.  Those who are proficient in the kitchen arts can also find recipes and hints that are helpful.  I pride myself on being an adventurous cook, and am always creating new combinations in food, yet there are recipes in the book that I am quite eager to try. I am anxious to make the cinnamon swirl bread as well as the homemade animal crackers. 

The Homemade Kitchen would make a wonderful addition to any new bride or a person just starting out on their own, as well as a confident foodie.  I would encourage all to experience the book and enjoy!
