This is not our favorite "Cook's" cookbook. The recipes are solid and can help you scale down a dish that normally takes 3 hours into 30 minutes. However, there's nothing adventurous in here at all and very few vegetarian dishes. We just don't use the book all that much.
Another big, lush, fascinating exploration of food science and the scientific method applied to cooking. This time, it’s organized by 50 whole foods -- various meats, seafood, dairy, fruits, veggies, grains, beans and seasonings. Hundreds of recipes, too, plus America’s Test Kitchen’s favorite brands of 150+ pantry-staple foods. I devour the scientific deconstructions and love to browse the recipes. First up in my kitchen will probably be two simple foods I just never seem to get to: a show more whitefish baked en papillote with fragrant veggies, and a baked sweet potato. show less
I got this book from the library because the baked ziti recipe in it is my go-to for a semi-quick, pantry staple dinner.
I tried the mac-and-cheese recipe, and it's just fantastic, but it's a TON of food. If I had a large family, I think this book would be a winner. But since I don't want to die of a cheese overdose, I copied out the mac-and-cheese (and chili mac, surely that will do better as a complete meal) and am reluctantly giving it back.

Can't rate as I read very little: the book was on display at the library and I just grabbed it for ideas for veggie sides.
I liked the notes describing the research they did on various ingredients, prep methods, etc. For example, they managed to convince me that glazed carrots made by their tested & described method would be wonderful, as opposed to being disgusting as the very name suggests to me.
Still, I found nothing I'll actually make. Otoh, YMMV, and I highly recommend that you look at show more this if your library owns it and you're interested in the topic.
Btw, it obviously has a lot of dishes that would be suitable for vegetarians - but certainly not all of them are. And almost none are vegan-friendly. show less
