Based on the life-altering course of instruction he prepared and honed through many phone calls with his son, \u003cem\u003eTwelve Recipes\u003c\/em\u003e is the ultimate introduction to the kitchen. Peternell focuses on the core foods and dishes that comprise a successful home cook's arsenal, each building skill upon skill--from toast, eggs, and beans, to vinaigrettes, pasta with tomato, and rice, to vegetables, soup, meats, and cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwelve Recipes\u003c\/em\u003e will help home cooks develop a core repertoire of skills and increase their culinary confidence. Peternell tells you what basic ingredients and tools you need for a particular recipe, and then adds variations to expand your understanding. Each tip, instruction, and recipe connects with others to weave into a larger story that illuminates the connection between food and life. A deeply personal book, it was written by the chef alone and it glows with warmth and humor as he mulls over such mundane items as toast and rice to offer surprising new insights about foods that only seem exceedingly ordinary. It's a book you're as likely to keep by your bedside as your stovetop. With Peternell as your guide, the journey is pure pleasure and the destination is delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwelve Recipes\u003c\/em\u003e features gorgeous color photos and inset illustrations by Peternell's wife and sons (all artists), and forewords by celebrated chef Alice Waters and \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e columnist and bestselling author Michael Pollan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this charmingly written, beautifully photographed and illustrated cookbook, the chef of Alice Waters's Chez Panisse offers basic techniques and essential recipes that will transform anyone into a confident home cook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Cal Peternell, the chef at Berkeley's legendary Chez Panisse, was helping his oldest son pack his things for college and beyond, he naturally set him up with the gear for a new kitchen: a nice skillet, a decent knife, a cutting board, and a colander.

Just twelve recipes at first--reminders of foods they'd cooked together and enough to put together some good meals--but what started as a cookbooklet from a father for his sons has become, luckily for the rest of us, \u003cem\u003eTwelve Recipes\u003c\/em\u003e: a baker's dozen chapters on how to cook and eat well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandards--toast, eggs, beans--are renewed with simple elegance and wit.
