I knew about 50 cooking tips from this book already but still it was astounding how many new and amazing tips were there in this book. What I loved about it is that it's not huge like typical cooking books which makes it easier to carry around or keeping in the kitchen cabinet. I forgot about half the tips though, I will have to keep on checking up every once in a while but still for a cooking noob like me, this book came out like a blessing.

I thought that by my advanced years I'd got the kitchen department sorted but of the 219 tips and techniques in this booklet there are
95 I've never come across / thought of / worked out for myself
47 that I did know but had forgotten and
76 that are part of my everyday kitchen behaviour. I think I've lost one somewhere but you get the idea. The booklet is a quick, easy read and the author writes in a light hearted, amusing and accessible style so 219 Cooking Tips and Techniques was a pleasure to read. I'm not saying that all the unknown tips and techniques are ones that I will use but they're interesting to read and as the book was free it proved to be a very good purchase..... so much so that I downloaded two more books in the series of which the Soup book is particularly good.

Many of the tips are duds, but there are so many tips that you are bound to find something useful

As you can imagine, a list of 219 things is super quick and easy to read. I did, indeed, learn a few tips that I will begin doing, but, on the whole, most of the tips and techniques are not new. As few tips included an explanation, I presume that most, if not all of the tips, could be easily found on the internet otherwise.

I received this ebook free of charge on an Amazon daily deal. At the price of $0.00, and with minimal investment of time, this was an okay book. Not particularly insightful, but okay

Many helpful hints

Since I am an older reader many of the things I have learned over the years. This book will be helpful for someone that does not not cook with prepared box or frozen meals.

I thought this book had some wonderful tips. Some I already knew, some were brand new. All were welcome! And I loved the fact that the author was so obviously British - that added to the fun and tone of the book for me. It was simple, straight forward, and very informative.

A decent enough list of guidelines. I wish that there had been a little more meat to the book though.
