Cook's Illustrated 2000 Collector's Edition

Rating:
Summary: Essential to anyone who cooks
Review: If you cook, you will LOVE this. I own all of the Cook's Illustrated annuals from 1993-2001. They are the all/all of culinary knowledge.

This annual has things such as 'rating soy sauces', 'perfect fried eggs', 'kitchen thermometer quick tips', 'rating 3.5-inch paring knives', 'how to buy a digital scale', 'chewy fudgy brownies', 'rating blenders', 'all-purpose barbecue sauce', 'improving cornbread stuffing', 'pie dough 101', 'improved dutch apple pie', 'rating electric knives', 'cake frosting 101', 'tasting chicken broth', 'home fries at home', 'cooking perfect pasta every time', lots of recipes, and much, much more.

The Cook's Illustrated annuals are easy to read, with clear and concise information. If you are a beginner, intermediate or more advanced, it is impossible to read these without learning something you didn't know before.
