About this title: Winner of a 1998 award from the James Beard Foundation, this book includes 225 recipes. More importantly, it explains how a recipe can fail, how to make sure it doesn't, and how to do everything from whipping cream properly to making a cake that will rise to producing a Hollandaise sauce with no lumps. For the cook who wants to understand the process, Shirley Corriher has the information--and explains why understanding how things work leads to better cooking.

"This is an amazing book. There are recipes, but the value of the book is in how it explains the processes of cooking - why foods do what they do when they're cooked. Having a strong background regarding processes and ingredients makes it much easier to experiment and succeed. It's a Bible I return to again and again."
