The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition
every experienced cook understands the need to taste their artwork as they work. For those of you who wrote that the recipes were “bland” or “uninteresting” it’s your own fault for not figuring this fact out BEFORE you presented the meal to your families. Next time taste Taste TASTE.
Sure, I wouldn’t recommend this book to the novice cook (unless you were trying to learn the methodology behind what you were doing).
I’ve worked at a food magazine before and needless to say the “tasting committee” sounds large, but really it can be misleading. Sometimes only 5 people partake in “blind tastings” just because other people are busy. Remember, you are eating the food. Shape the recipe to your tastes and work slowly and taste everything as you go. If something seems like to much, add half the amount, taste, and work up from there. I’m still giving this book a low review because I also agree with the poor index comments and the overuse of tasters shaping the outcome of the recipe.
This book was a gift and my friend absolutely loves it. She has already tried several recipes and thinks it is great. She said to me…I plan to read every word in this book and this is a Large Book. After my order, I received it very quickly. Thanks.
This is a Good Book according to my wife
I like it alot I just wish it had more color pictures. It does have alot of great tips.
The recipes in here could be cut into a 5th of the book. I’ve made a recipe from here for biscuits, and it was tasteless and gross. I followed the recipe exactly. If you want a book by the Editors of Cook’s Illustrated Magazine, I recommend their family cookbook which doesn’t have the longwinded explanations. It’s a 3 ring spiral bound book, which I wish I’d bought instead.
