A great gift April 21, 2008
Provided it as a gift, and the receiver loved it. I am thinking of getting my own copy.
my new kitchen bible April 2, 2008
the cookbook is absolutely amazing. it literally is my reference for all things in the kitchen. i love the detail they provide with each recipe when they explain what works and what doesn't. that is helpful not only to know what they found was the best, but also if there is an ingredient that gave it a flavor they didn't care for, you still have the option of keeping it in there. it really does make you feel very scientific while cooking. it turns a recipe into puzzle that they have placed together for you perfectly. everything i make from this book is fabulous. for example, last night i made the perfect black bean and bacon chili, and a few weeks ago i made the perfect yellow cupcakes with rich vanilla buttercream frosting. now for me to get excited about a dessert that doesn't include chocolate is REALLY telling you something.
i can't wait to pick up a few more books from these guys. in particular i am interested in the best lite recipes. i've been a fan for a while, years back i had a subscription to their magazine and am thinking about renewing it.
Get it right the first time March 5, 2008

If I'm going to go to the trouble of making a dish, I want to get it right the first time. This book almost guarantees you'll do just that. The only downside is that the recipes focus more on taste than nutritional content, and not enough are fit for storage/freezing (if I'm cooking I want more than one meal out of the experience). For better nutrition you can do the usual health food nut substitutions. For good freezer recipes try a book like "Frost Bite". Enjoy!
Great Cookbook! February 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
THis is a great cookbook! I've tried a dozen recipes so far and all have been very good. The recipes include on top of the ingredients the reasons for doing things in a specific order or for choosing a specific cut of meat, etc... This is very helpful in understanding why and how things go together. This cookbook makes a quite intricate recipe much more manageable....
My "BEST" resource. February 23, 2008
Just another fellow who is getting hooked on cooking. Have all these exotic cookbooks - but - this is the only one that really guides me on some fundamental processes. Every process I have tried led to success the first time. The book has great articles on skills to support doing the receipes. Invaluable!
