Book Reviews of Cooking

Book Review: A Cooking Class in a Book
Summary: 5 Stars

There is no doubt that this is one of the best modern gourmet cookbooks I have ever used. The recipies are easy to follow, and do an excellent job of walking the reader through how to cook the most complex dishes. The end result is not only a perfect dish, but an understanding of how to do it again.

What really sold me on Cooking was the roast chicken, and cheese soufflé recipies. I had never cooked soufflé before, and had always had a hit or miss experience with roasting chicken. By using Cooking, I made soufflés that were not only enjoyed by all, but were gorgeous to look at, and did not immediately fall when removed from the oven. I have made the roast chicken several times now, and each time it comes out perfect; crunchy browned skin, and meat so juicy my wife couldn't believe it was cooked all the way (we both grew up with overcooked chicken).

I highly recommend Cooking for anyone that has the time and desire to make great food. Well worth the price.
