In The New Cooking School Cookbook, the experts at America's Test Kitchen have provided a full-blown culinary education. ATK has long been known for the merging of science and cooking, and this book takes that educative approach one step further. Multiple glossaries—of terms, off ingredients, of methods, etc.—fulfill the promise that anyone can learn to cook well.
The recipes are, of course, delicious, and there are plenty of them. With 400 recipes to cook through, each with the kind of technical instruction you need to get it right the first time, you'll be using this book for years to come, even after you become an expert. And if you already know how to cook, this deep-dive into why the recipes work is well worth your time.
