false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176209079m/603204.jpg 603204 6 Mark Bittman, award-winning author of such fundamental books as <I>Fish</I> and <I>Leafy Greens</I> and food columnist for the <I>New York Times</I> ("The Minimalist"), has turned in what has to be the weightiest tome of the year. There are more than 900 pages in this sucker--over 1,500 recipes! This isn't just the big top of cookbooks: it's the entire three-ring circus. This isn't just how to cook everything: it's how to cook everything you have ever wanted to have in your mouth. And then some.<p> Bittman starts with Roasted Buttered Nuts and Real Buttered Popcorn, and moves right along, section by section, from the likes of Black Bean Soup (eight different ways), to Beet and Fennel Salad, to Mussels (Portuguese-style over Pasta), to Cream Scones--and he hasn't even reached seafood, poultry, meat, or vegetables yet, let alone desserts. There are 23 sections in this cookbook (!) that reflect directly on the how-to of cooking, be that equipment, technique, or recipe.<p> Every inch of the way the reader finds Bittman's calm, helpful, encouraging voice. "Anyone can cook," he says at the beginning, "and most everyone should." More than a few college kids are going to head off to their first apartments with Bittman's book under arm. More than a few marriages will benefit with this book on the shelf. And anyone who loves cooking and the sound of a great food voice is going to enjoy letting this book fall open where it may. No matter what the page, it's bound to be a tasty and rewarding experience. <I>--Schuyler Ingle</I> 1110244 14 8 1998 How to Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food total:1416|5:754|4:451|3:171|2:32|1:8| 1416 6159 2043 308 1123155 0471789186 9780471789185 97 19 4.35 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181179874m/1123155.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1123155.How_To_Cook_Everything_Simple_Recipes_for_Great_Food 4 3 false Tue Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 08:45:16 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 09:37:51 -0800 2008 always find everything I want (yes, we all know the title is hyperbole), but what I find is just great.
