The Way To Cook (by Julia Child)
Julia Child is one of the most respected pioneers in home cooking education and instruction! Although published nearly 20 years ago, it is still considered one of the best. With heavy French/European influence, Julia focused on beginning cooks with little experience. Her instruction and use of photos makes this book great for beginners!
Back To Basics (by Ina Garten)
Also known as the
Barefoot Contessa, I became a fan of Ina's Food Network TV show. As the title suggests, Ina turns
simple ingredients into great tasting meals! Like my other recommendations for beginner's, this book provides great education and photos too!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipe From An Accidental Country Girl (by Ree Drummond)
This book has been #1 on several Bestseller's Lists, including the New York Times! Her story is as fun and flavorful as her Southern style recipes. Many customer reviews enjoyed this book as a "beginner's cookbook", as Ree inserts photos throughout the steps of her recipes.
