My apologies; I was unable to fully review the book since it wasn't in Kindle format.

The Haven's Kitchen Cooking School cookbook by Alison Cayne is an accessible cookbook for both novice and experienced cooks alike. The recipes are clearly written and illustrated making this a good book for learning how to cook. For more experienced cooks you will find recipes that teach how to prepare some of the newer ingredients such as Quinoa. I've cooked for a very long time, but I know little about cooking Quinoa. The Haven's Kitchen School cookbook Quinoa recipe explained how and why to rinse Quinoa for example.

You will find a "Teaching Recipe" (actually recipes) sprinkled throughout the cookbook. The Teaching Recipe will teach how to use a specific ingredient. For example you will find the Teaching Recipe Jose's Black Beans that clearly tells about how to prepare and cook beans. There is a black bean recipe that follows showing how to prepare a recipe once the beans have been prepped.

I loved the Basic Skills segment of the book as this section covers such things as how to read a recipe or how to use salt in cooking.

There are plenty of color photos illustrating techniques and completed recipes.

You will find some of the following recipes in The Haven's Kitchen Cooking School cookbook:
