Anyone who enjoys cooking needs to add this to their library. Especially for those who only use recipes as initial guides for what we really cook. This book covers the problems we run into as we modify recipes.

James Beard Award Well Deserved!

Of all of my cookbooks, I use this one and Cook It Right, Achieve Perfection with Every Dish You Cook by Anne Willan, the most. First, the ingredients are available in most supermarkets. Second, the level of difficulty of the recipes are beginning to moderate, plus the instructions are well explained. And most importantly, the recipes always turn out like they should. The Lemon on Lemon on Lemon Meringue Pie (page 243) is simply delicious! (For the novice cook, the James Beard Cookbook Award is the culinary equivalent of winning of an Oscar.)

Ideal for the serious cook, or the merly curious

cookwise covers the same information as "ON FOOD AND COOKING" with a lighter approach. At times Shirley's narration can seem disjointed, but she soon brings it all together and makes it all make sense. Great recipes, if you read and follow the directions, not only within the recipe, but in the text of the book.

Love knowing the secret

I love this book! It's great to understand the why's of cooking. Reading this book helps me to understand process and science of cooking - it's fun!

Cook Book

This was a gift so I can only say that it was in excellent condition and my son, who requested it, was excited to receive it! The shipping was less than desired but it seems that was the fault of the USPS, not the seller
