A Rookie's Guide to Cooking With Style and Simplicity: Beyond the Fear of Cooking

This is not a cookbook. It's about the art of cooking. It's about taking a risk to overcome the fear of cooking, and discovering the pleasure and value of doing so. You are invited to take this journey for yourself. You might experience a life-changing love of cooking.

In A Rookie's Guide to Cooking with Style and Simplicity, Barry Stevenson has applied his understanding of human systems, part of his life-long profession, in going beyond the fear of cooking. Four different stories are woven into this tale, bringing you, the reader, face to face with your fears and challenging you to take the risk of trying it. Throughout this book, the author shares what he has learned in his personal journey. He had to overcome his fear of cooking when circumstances obliged him to make the meals, as his wife convalesced from a serious accident. In that context, it's a love story.
