KATIE HALE found her love of cooking as a teen and has continued that passion with food blogs and now the world of cookbooks. When not in the kitchen, she can be found watching superhero movies with her family or reading true crime novels.
""Sometimes, you just need to go back to the basics. Katie's book was a wonderful way to fine-tune some basic culinary skills I hadn't perfected while learning new skills in the process. This book gave me simple fixes for everyday problems and will no doubt become a reference staple in my kitchen!"" --Katie Femia, author at The Homespun Hydrangea and Tiny Vintage Kitchen ""Thank you, Katie, for putting out the cookbook that everyone needs! This cookbook teaches you everything you need to know about the kitchen and beyond. It's packed full of easy-to-make recipes that will make your mealtimes easier and more delicious. I can't wait to gift this new cookbook to every college grad and young cook I know."" --Michele Brosius, owner and editor at Midlife Healthy Living ""This book really is a complete guide. I have tried to teach my daughter to cook, and she always gets lost. We made the recipes from the beginner cookbook, and she has found a love for cooking. She can't wait to cook and eat her way through the rest of the cookbook. Perfect for anyone who has always wanted to learn to cook but didn't know where to start!"" --Debi, Our Wabi Sabi Life, Mama Loves to Eat
