I created this blog, because so many people have asked me for book recommendations. If you are looking at Amazon's customer reviews, I am "voracious reader" from Houston, Texas. I hope that you will get enough information from this blog, and you won't have to search the Amazon reviews. I have also included DVD reviews here too.

The Science of Good Cooking (Cook's Illustrated Cookbooks) (Hardcover)

This wonderful book breaks down the science of cooking and baking into 50 major concepts. Once learned the food maven can apply them to other dishes and experiment often with good results. I love the scientific testing behind these recommendations and concepts. They don't just taste meat to determine which method or cut produces the juiciest result, they measure the juice extruded. Many of these recipes and instructions have appeared in other publications. However, here they are organized around the concepts they illustrate. For the dedicated cook who wants to improve his/her results, this is an excellent resource. It would also make a wonderful gift.
