The Kitchen Counter Cooking School

I wish I could have been one of the students, as I am definitely a culinary novice. Spurred by reading this, I finally tried the “no-knead” bread technique I've heard so much about, with generally successful results, and the book has inspired me to start watching some of the technique videos produced by America's Test Kitchen. This book definitely got me thinking about the kind of food that I buy for my family to eat. If you don't go into it expecting a “cookbook” I think just about anyone could learn something from this book.
