Michael Ruhlman’s groundbreaking New York Times bestseller takes us to the very “truth” of cooking: it is not about recipes but rather about basic ratios and fundamental techniques that makes all food come together, simply.

Great book that takes you out of cookbooks and into the science of cooking. I'm just growing into the understanding that cooking is not as mysterious as it feels if one understands the role each ingredient, procedure, and treatment plays. It's why I love Alton Brown ... reading his thoughts on bake/broil/steam/fry gives you insight into WHY you'd choose a procedure. So does this book.
I feel like this is the stuff that Iron Chefs know. The basic ratios. Master these and the variations become easier to understand.
Great read. Great info. Great book.
