I preferred older editions which had more thorough explanations. It's still valuable, being an update version of my edition from 17yrs ago, but the wording is also more vague or generic and I don't like that. I hope more current editions are better. This leaves room to be desired.
I was once a mixologist: for seven days. It wasn't that I didn't like mixing cocktails, I did. What I didn't like was working in a restaurant. Fortuantely I discovered Ron and Sharon Herbst's The Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide so I can pursue my love of mixology at home. Within you'll find a wide variety of cocktail recipes all clearly proportioned in a user-friendly style. Indispensible.

Well, I haven't read every word yet. I'm working my way through and learning a lot, and looking things up every now and then. If you don't already have a degree from the Cordon Bleu or the CIA, you probably can use this book to find out about unusual ingredients (and even learn new things about common foods.) Highly recommended.

One of my personal books that I keep at my office. Great for trying to figure out the difference between Salsa, Chutney, Raita, and Relish.
I think it is still missing some stuff. But then again I get odd questions.
