Absolutely perfect cookbook September 5, 2008
Every single recipe in this book is amazing, and extremely easy to follow.
Along with the recipes themselves is plenty of information and illustrations explaining the science behind certain ingredients, equipment and cooking methods.
The book reads like the television series, which is fantastic. Everything about this book blows me away.
I can't say enough...This book is, and I mean this, just as good as "The Joy of Cooking". Seriously.
I bounce between those two and ignore the 50 or so other cookbooks I now own.
Thanks to Cooks Illustrated for making me a GOOD chef!
NEW BEST RECIPE COOKBOOK.....IS THE "BEST" COOKBOOK!!! September 2, 2008
I purchased this cookbook because it was recommended by a friend. I love it! It is fun to read and is so informative about what makes a recipe better and guess what?.....You cook better, too!! My husband loves the meals from it.
I gave it to my daughter-in-law for her birthday. She received 3 cookbooks and this one is her favorite....she just raves about it. Now, her nightime reading is the "New Best Recipe Cookbook".....
 Less than expectation August 10, 2008
It has no great receipes,
it is only a very classic recipes done with small change.
Book is not that illustrative as mentioned by others reviews
Classic! August 1, 2008
I agree with one of the reviewers that he/she feels like a pro using the "The Best" series. I've cooked from this book and several of "The Best" Series and they ALL came up excellent according to the people and guests to whom I'd served them: from Asian to Italian to restaurant cooking, and many more. It takes away the guessing from what I've been doing. I agree with the editors that their books are simply the BEST. Unpretentious, simple, and straight-forward. Their equipment testing and food tasting are always reliable since they sample as many a brands as necessary with as many tasters too. So, how can that go wrong. They bring home cooking back with fun and enjoyment. I always learn something when I read their books as they are all informative, not intimidating, and fun to read.
the best! July 14, 2008
I'm a guy in my early 20's just learning how to cook for myself... this book is amazing. precise, detailed instructions on how to do things that a novice like me wouldn't otherwise know how to do. it's become like my cooking bible, an indispensable fixture around my kitchen.
