America's Test Kitchen

America's Test Kitchen, 2006

Everything you always wanted to know about cooking and then some.
Aside from the fact that this is one hefty book and two hands are needed to lug it around by everyone except Iron Man and the Hulk, this book serves just about every purpose for cooks of every caliber. There are recipes for everyday family meals as well as upscale ...
  
  











  



  
Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting ...
Bill Buford

Vintage, 2007

A peek into the kitchen
This is a very fun book. It is especially fun for those of us who have worked in restaurants. The literary images of poor Mr. Buford being thrown to the fire--quite literally--is a delightful ride. It is a foodie's paradise and a self-deprecating memoir of the ...
  
  











  



  
Kitchen Confidential Updated Ed: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (P.S.)
Anthony Bourdain

Harper Perennial, 2007

Good Book Now Even Better
For anyone who's ever done any kind of commercial cooking this book, and it's earlier version, is a MUST read. I'm a retired line cook and I can assure all potential readers that Tony knows of what he speaks. For 'civilians', the avid home cook or the addicted ...
  
  











  



  
McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Edible ...
Rose Marie Nichols McGee, Maggie Stuckey

Workman Publishing Company, 2002

Very informative and well organized
I really enjoyed this book. I like how it's organized so that if you decide you want to plant tomatoes, you can go to the section on tomatoes. They go over containers, soil, everything you need to know. This is just what I was looking for. Can't wait to get started.
  
  











  



  
Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours
Trisha Yearwood

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Real Down-to-Earth Cookbook
This is one of my favorite cookbooks, which is saying quite a lot, since I have over 200! The recipes are some you might remember from your mom or grandma, but with a little southern tweak to them....very tasty. The ingredients aren't hard-to-find ingredients....just ...

Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine

America's Test Kitchen, 2004

It'll make your brain smoke!
Amazing resource! This is not just a collection of recipes strung together there are wonderful discussions of how they arrived at the recipes they present that I enjoy even more than the recipes themselves. There is considerable discussion not only of what worked but ...
  
  











  



  
Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes
Ani Phyo

Da Capo Press, 2007

Contains some delicious recipes, Good book to own
This book has some great things to offer. For the most part the recipes are realistic (as opposed to some other raw books, like juliano's). Most everything I've made has been yummy. I think there are a few too many photos of her eating, staring at the reader, ...
  
  











  



  
Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen
Bobby Flay

Clarkson Potter, 2007

Great flavors with restaurant quality results
This is one of my new favorites. The results have been extremely good. Some recipes are relatively fast to make while the super tasty duck taco recipe involves making 3 different sauces. However, once some of the sauces are made, they can be frozen and used in other ...
  
  











  



  
Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006
Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, ...

Scribner, 2006

Joy of Cooking - 2nd book
I recently bought the newest JOC because the one I received as a wedding present (46 years ago) is starting to fall apart. When I was married the Food Network didn't exist, therefore I learned a lot about food prep from this wonderful cookbook. I was pretty happy to ...
  
  











  



  
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
Harold McGee

Scribner, 2004

A True Classic
Not available in bookshops here, it took me a while to track down this much praised book, now in a 2004 updated edition. It can be read at many levels: history, folk lore, chemistry and just marvellous explanations of the 'why' of cooking. It must hold great appeal for ...

Rachel Naomi Remen

Riverhead Trade, 2006

Must Reading
Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal I was given a copy of this book by a colleague many years ago. I only recently read it for the first time, and I now realize what a wonderful gift I received. I know I will reread this book and refer to it many times. The ...

America's Test Kitchen, 2007

The Best International Recipe

Building Kitchen Cabinets
Udo Schmidt

Taunton, 2003

Beginner to Expert, Something for all.
I am a firm believer in the KISS method of doing things. (Keep It Simple Stupid") Every step is covered in this book so that anyone can learn from it. The "Build Like A Pro" series of books are all laid out like this one. The "Expert Tips" are great. They show you ...
  
  











  



  
Cook Right 4 Your Type: The Practical Kitchen Companion to Eat Right 4 Your Type
Peter J. D'Adamo, Catherine Whitney

Berkley Trade, 2000

Cooking for your Blood Type
Originally, my chiropractor turned me on to this way of eating. I read all the reference materials and thought I would give it a try, but it didn't work for my lifestyle. Although I do not plan to continue this program, the cookbook had wonderful recipes in it that ...
  
  











  



  
Top Secret Restaurant Recipes: Creating Kitchen Clones from America's Favorite Restaurant Chains
Todd Wilbur

Plume, 1997

Wonderful Recipes Especially the Cheesecake Factory Jambalya
I have only tried the Cheesecake Factory Jambalya but have read the other recipes. The jambalya tasted EXACTLY like that at the restaurant. I have been looking for this recipe for a long time. I have only read the others but they all look promising.
