A combination of food science, consumer reports and The Joy of Cooking
Rating:
5 / 5
A great combination that is familiar to readers of Cook's Illustrated magazine. Our copy was misplaced during our last move and recently found. I really enjoy the details of why foods need to be prepared in certain ways and what happens if you deviate from the recipe. I don't have the time or the money to experiment the way they do and am grateful that they have put it all in one volume.
"The Best Recipe" is a pretty ambitious title but...

It's an ambitious title, but the book lives it up! I suppose honestly I can only speak for teh recipes in the deserts and cookies sections, but wow! I've been searching for the perfect chewy peanut butter cookie recipe, molasses crinkle, and plain round sugar cookie recipe... and here they are! The sugar cookies turned out absolutely amazing - crisp edges with a soft, chewy center, super flavor.
What I really like, though, are the explanations (usually about three to four times as long as the recipe itself) or what went on to get the best recipe. These say a lot about what's really going on, which is great if you're into majorly altering recipes to get exactly what you want.
Amazing! Highly recommended! (Although maybe go for the new edition, it has more goodness added to it.)
Great book
