Master the fundamentals of professional cooking at home with How I Cook: A Chef’s Guide to Really Good Home Cooking by Ben Lippett. This insightful hardcover cookbook is designed to build confidence in the kitchen by teaching not just recipes, but the essential techniques and thinking behind great cooking.
Written by chef Ben Lippett, this book breaks down over 100 recipes alongside clear explanations of the “why” behind each step—why heat matters, why seasoning timing changes flavour, and how technique transforms everyday ingredients into exceptional dishes. It is structured as both a cookbook and a culinary guide, making it ideal for home cooks who want to develop real skill rather than simply follow instructions.
Recipes range from simple, approachable meals to more refined dishes, including French omelettes, fresh pasta, stuffed fish, and enriched dough pastries. Each recipe is designed to reinforce key techniques such as temperature control, emulsification, folding, sautéing, and balancing flavours. The result is a cookbook that grows your confidence while expanding your cooking ability.
With its clean design, clear instructions, and professional yet approachable tone, How I Cook is perfect for both beginner and intermediate cooks. It is equally suited for everyday kitchen use and as a thoughtful addition to a curated cookbook collection or styled kitchen display.
Published by HarperCollins, this hardcover edition contains approximately 320 pages and is widely regarded as a modern essential for learning foundational cooking skills.
