Ruhlman rules!,
This review is from: Ruhlman's Twenty: The Ideas and Techniques That Will Make You a Better Cook (Hardcover)
If you are a cookbook addict, think you have too many cookbooks and are planning to pledge not to buy another cookbook as a New Year resolution... buy this one in a hurry before your resolution kicks in!This is a very well written book. It illustrates basic techniques through recipes, highlights the logic behind them and their applicability in your day-to-day cooking. Sounds boring or too basic? Think again. How many times do we cook without "thinking" just doing automatic gestures out of habit. How often do you start a recipe realizing in the middle that that you are missing a crucial ingredient? This book will help you to slow down, get organized, pause and think, reconsider some of your habits and build up your skills and knowledge. Overall, a well worth investment for anyone who loves cooking and wish to become better at it.

This review is from: Ruhlman's Twenty: The Ideas and Techniques That Will Make You a Better Cook (Hardcover)
I count Michael Ruhlman among the most talented writers on the cookbook scene; his elegant prose provokes thought and informs even the most experienced chef. In his 2010 hit "Ratio," Ruhlman explored the relationships between ingredients and, in his newest "Twenty," he again eschews recipes in favour of culinary education. Each of his 20 chapters explains the fundamentals of either an essential technique (roasting etc) or ingredient (salt, eggs, acid) and provides recipes that employ the chapter's theme.Ruhlman's structure makes finding recipes difficult but the book's elements tie together so seamlessly that it seems impossible to organize them another way. The pork belly, for example, combines the braising chapter (responsible for the meat's tenderness) with the sugar chapter (responsible for the meat's flavour). With ample step-by-step photographs, a wide variety of culinary topics and uncomplicated but enlightening text, "Twenty" provides a refreshing perspective on the cookbook genre.
