Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen
ByPublisher Description
For years, Dana Cowin kept a dark secret: From meat to vegetables, broiling to baking, breakfast to dinner, she ruined literally every kind of dish she attempted to make. Now, in this cookbook confessional, the vaunted first lady of food and exceptional entertainer finally comes clean about her many meal mishaps. With the help of friends—all-star chefs, including Mario Batali, Alex Guarnaschelli, and Tom Colicchio, among many others—Cowin takes on 100 recipes dear to her heart. Ideal dishes for the home cook, each recipe has a high "yum" factor, a few key ingredients, and a simple trick that makes it special. With every dish, she acquires a critical new skill, learning invaluable lessons along the way from the hero chefs who help her discover exactly where she goes wrong.
Hilarious and heartwarming, encouraging and instructional,
will inspire anyone who loves a good meal but fears its preparation. Featuring gorgeous full-color photography, it is an intimate, hands-on cooking guide from a fellow foodie and amateur home chef, designed to help even the biggest kitchen-phobics overcome their reluctance, with delicious results.

“This book was a fun, quick read. As a regular reader of Food & Wine (of which Dana Cowin is the former Editor), I must admit that I did not learn a lot of new tips from her "mistakes". But it was still fun to learn what a seasoned veteran of the food world hadn't fully mastered and how top chefs had overcome these hurdles.”
