Williams-Sonoma Cooking Essentials Book

This book does have a lot of tips and they are categorized decently well. If I am doing something I can go check for tips, but there isn't a real flow. I was hoping for a basic cookbook that would give me an overall better idea of how to cook and work with food in general. The title is "How to Break an Egg" I figured you couldn't get a more basic education than that. But really all the tips are just one or two sentence blurbs with no real overall 'how to cook' theme. I honestly feel like someone went to the Fine Cooking Blog and just printed out every entry and stuck it in a book. I could just have gone and read a blog myself and saved some cash.

For me one of the hardest parts is that sometimes it felt like tips from different users contradicted each other. So this book is good for what it is. I just feel like it wasn't clear to me that it was literally a bunch of tips from a bunch of random people.
