At last, a guide for those cooks who are oppressed by recipes which are often as peremptory and seemingly illogical as barracks room orders. The Cookbook Decoder lets us in on the REASONING behind recipes, what ingredients are vital to success, why some utensils do a better job than others, and which timing sequences are mandatory. And, it goes ahead to provide the reader with a framework for thinking about and modifying recipes with self-assurance. Peppered with over 120 recipes and more than 20 kitchen experiments, the Decoder is an invaluable tool for understanding, appreciating, and working creatively with man's oldest chemical cooking.
