Cook's Science
Science Makes Food Taste Better!
The Test Kitchen team at Cook’s Illustrated has spent nearly 25 years learning how to prepare good food at home. This cookbook focuses on 50 essential ingredients and investigates the science of making them taste their very best. Understanding how ingredients work—at the molecular level as well as at the stovetop—allows you to amplify flavor and perfect their structure when you cook.
We include 300+ recipes engineered for success, intriguing test kitchen experiments that tell you what’s really happening when you cook, and full-page illustrations that show you how ingredients get from farm (or sea) to table. This book stands well on its own and makes a great companion to the first book.
"Worth its weight in gold for the practical cook who wants to feel confident about putting good food on the table."
