The Best Recipe is a cookbook unlike any other. The good people of
Cook's Illustrated magazine have tested hundreds of versions of these recipes to yield the best possible results which sometimes means going
against conventional wisdom or omitting a traditional step that doesn't, in
fact, add much to the dish. Their explanations are clear and incredibly thorough
as they take you step by step through the process of the recipes, illuminating
scientific principles and useful cooking secrets along the way. From breads and
comfort foods (their Macaroni and Cheese is both divine and divinely easy) to
Lamb with Figs and Fenugreek, The Best Recipe will satisfy both your
hunger and your curiosity. Tessa, Powells.com
