Cook Book

[Mark V]

I have had many cook books, most just list recipes. I just got the book Salt Fat Acid Heat, and it explains why you do things and when. That has already improved my cooking. I used a recipe from there and one other, improvised a bit and tonight made the best tomato based pasta sauce I have ever made. There are recipes in the book but really just as examples of things to do. It is like Meathead wrote an all purpose cook book.

Lot of cook books but few actually teach you to understand the why as well as the how. Jacque Pepin, Meathead, Ken Forkish, and a few others come to mind as authors who have succeeded in deepening our knowledge and skills.

I'll have to check out the others you mention, I need a why when it comes to countering a habit that I have in the kitchen. Meathead does a great job of explaining why and it has affected how I do certain things.

There is a Netflix mini series with the same title.

Love my PaperWhite!

Mr. Bones, the company I work for is great. They gave us all ipads back in the fall, been using it. But I have a paperwhite too, and an older kindle that my mom got me when they first came out. Still like to hold a real book once in awhile.

[Mr. Bones]

Agreed, no substitute fer a real book! I read~100+ a year, easily.

Have both paper an kindle with many, also have kindle app on my phone, an can read on my PC, as well.

I just started it and have already learned a few things. The Netflix show didn't really wow me, but the book is totally different!
