With The New Best Recipe in hand, you will have access to a wealth of practical information that will not only make you a better cook but a more confident one as well. In fact, as long as you follow our instructions, we guarantee that these recipes will work the first and every time.   &lt;P&gt;We have also included 800 illustrations showing you the best way to do almost everything from how to carve a turkey and beat egg whites properly to how to frost a layer cake and set up your grill. Also, get valuable information on how and when to splurge on that expensive knife or baking pan and when the basic model will do just fine. We also explain the science of cooking since understanding the science of food can help anyone become a better cook.  Complete with recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts, The New Best Recipe</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[the only reason that this doesn't get a full 5 star rating is it's lack of pictures for everything....i'm big on pics....aside from that, i think this is just a great cookbook that really shines in all the extras that are outside of the recipes...like what are the best canned white beans out there.....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69317062">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book has amazing explanations that accompany the recipes.  Helps you understand not only how to do something, but why to do it.  That said, the idea of perfection is a strange one, and I find some of the recipes hit or miss.  Still, excellent all-around text, almost like a mini and anal Joy of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50755462">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is from America's Test Kitchen. Every recipe that I've tried has perfect texture, but is bland.  So, enjoy the texture and spice things up your way - including the pie crust recipe...it needs more sugar in my opinion.  Also, embrace unsalted butter and you will have more control over the flavor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49035278">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is going to be on my &quot;currently-reading&quot; shelf forever.  It really is an excellent cook-book -- gives method, data, explanations.  The scientific method applied to cooking works very well indeed; every dinner I've made using recipes from this book have been a success.

    <body><![CDATA[I stay up late at night reading this. I fall asleep with my face in it. A superb guide - these folks have spent hours and hours in a test kitchen coming up with the best version of a recipe ... and then they tell you what they tried and what worked. So you know the process that they went through to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44509632">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a pretty killer book. I think that there could be more recipes in the book, given how huge it is, but that isn't really the book's agenda. The authors have tested several versions of the recipes to determine what techniques and ingredients produce the best results. I had no idea that you sho...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24623840">more...</a>]]></body>
