[quote=Anonymous]Another Mark Bittman devotee here! Read the intro chapters to learn a few stills. And if there's something in his recipes that you don't understand, just google it. You can learn a lot on youtube. (My kid texted me from the beach this summer to ask how to cut a pineapple. I sent him youtube video because it was easier than writing out the directions!) As for equipment, I agree that you need good knives. I'd say that you need a larger chef's knife and a smaller trimmer or paring knife. I'm partial to the trimmer as I think it can do more. Add in a good meat thermometer and you are in business. I recommend the thermapen one, but I'm sure there are others out there. If you are a NYT subscriber, look at their recipes. Definitely search for easy ones, as those can get complicated. Chicken thighs are another easy meat to cook. NYT cooking also has a lot of sheet pan dinners that are good for beginners.[/quote]
