 Wonderful book, badly constructed November 26, 2008

We're on our third copy of this book. After the first two hardcover copies fell apart, we bought the paperback. Now that shows 1) that this book has become indispensable in our kitchen, but also 2) that the hardcover version is shoddily made. We sent a note to the publisher but got no response. The publisher is not serving the great MB well.
 The Minimalist writes a minimalist cookbook. October 13, 2008

This is an excellent cookbook for a starting cook, and it is the first one I turn to when I have a pile of one type of vegetable. The recipes are very easy to follow, and it has clear and useful techniques.
That being said, quite a few recipes (especially baking) are very bland. Oatmeal cookies turn out with excellent color and texture, but almost no taste. I've had this experience multiple times for this cookbook, and neither my wife or I have any desire to bake from it again.

A great cookbook for today. However, I am now buying my 3rd copy because the binding keeps falling apart.
Just a disgusting practice. Shame on them.
 Best. Cooking book. Ever. October 9, 2008

I've got a lot of cooking books. I like to cook, but I'm not terribly good at it, having only started cooking (and baking) in the last few years.
This book is by far the best cooking book I've ever owned - can you imagine, reading a book on cooking this big from cover to cover? I did, and enjoyed every minute of it. And went back and read it again.
Does it really cover everything? No, not really. But it does cover *almost* everything that I'm interested in cooking, and that's plenty.
Not only that, but after 20 or so recipes, I've yet to find a single dud.
For someone who's in the beginner to intermediate range, this is a must-have book.
My go-to cookbook October 7, 2008

This book is my standard, go-to cookbook. It is extremely comprehensive and easy to follow. I gave away my copy of Joy of Cooking because I realized How to Cook Everything is the only basic cookbook I needed.
