Hello, I'm a college student and have just moved into an apartment of my own. For the first time ever, I'm going to be cooking my own food. I happen to live in Berkeley, so I've heard about Alice Waters and Chez Panisse. I came across her book, The Art of Simple Food, and was wondering whether that would be a good first cookbook for me. I'm worried that the book might assume that the reader will know how to do basic cooking techniques. Keep in mind that I have never cooked before, and will be buying all my supplies from scratch. Thanks.
