03 About the cook
Harold Rosenberg. A lifetime at the family stove.
Harold never went to cooking school. He learned standing next to his mother and grandmother on Friday afternoons, from recipe cards with half the measurements missing, and from many years of his own mistakes, which he's happy to tell you about so you don't make them.
"Frugality is not a purity test. It is the long habit of noticing what you already have, using it well, and spending with intention."Watch Harold on YouTube

05 Questions
Before you set the table.
Do I need to be an experienced cook?
No. Chapter one covers five foundations (stock from bones, slow-browned onions, a breadcrumb jar, cook-once beans and schmaltz), and everything after builds on those.
Is this a kosher cookbook?
Every recipe is labeled MEAT, DAIRY, PAREVE or FISH to help you plan, but those labels are not rabbinic certification. If you keep kosher, check ingredients and preparation against the standards you follow.
How do I get it?
Right after checkout you're taken to a download page for the 350-page PDF. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer, and prints cleanly on ordinary paper.
Are the dollar figures guaranteed savings?
No. They're U.S. planning ranges, not quotes from a particular store. Prices change with location and season. Metric conversions and Celsius temperatures are included.
