Learning to Cook for University


COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME


            I must learn and master is cooking. In three years, when I will leave for university, I will have to cook for myself. For this reason, I shall use the three years I have available now, to learn how to cook, starting from a well known cookbook. I looked up on Goodreads, and Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat by Chrissy Teigen was the most recommended. Obviously, this is my first cooking book and a few questions pierced through my mind as I have never analysed in my English class a cooking book. What makes a cooking book more successful than the other? Is it the recipes? Or maybe the way they explain the recipes? Or maybe just the pictures in it that attracts the reader?

Here is a small analysis with an extract from the actual book:

The author, along with the colloquial pictures, uses a colloquial language with the use of rhetorical questions, "A cookbook from me?" and slang such as, "TITTTAYYYYYY" to express an exclamation. If you want to identify Chrissy Teigen's cookingbook fromat yourself, try it on this extract from the book:


           Keep checking my blogposts, because next week, I will be trying a recipe from the book and share with all of you my experience!
