from Scribner
Price: $26.40
Customer Review:
This book is simply amazing. It has to be the most useful utensil in any kitchen. As a scientist, I love the in-depth treatment that is given to almost every aspect of almost every edible thing on earth. It may not be the most appropriate book to everyone. You must be willing to dedicate a lot of... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $17.15
Customer Review:
By all accounts, this should be a lousy book. The life story of a middle-aged, former substance-abusing, self-described SOB and good-but-not-great chef. In the hands of most people, this would be a rambling, uninteresting memoir that would never see the light of day. The fact that Bourdain pulls it... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

If I were to own just one cookbook,this would be it. This book teaches you the basics, and like everything of Alice Waters', the food is always authentic. I have cooked many recipes out of this book and they are all excellent. Be sure to try the lamb shank recipe. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Phaidon Press
Price: $29.70
Customer Review:
I received this book from my brother and love the concept of it. However, my early experience with the recipies is terrible. All I've tried so far is the baking recipies, so perhaps other chapters are good. I agree with Eric Lyman's review comments about inadequate directions. Several of the baking... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
