12 days of giveaways: Day 3 – The Science of Good Cooking from Cook’s Illustrated (Closed)
A few months ago, I participated in America’s Test Kitchen’s first Google+ hangout! It was a blast and getting to hear more about the book, The Science of Good Cooking, was exciting. It’s chock full of experiments – to show you how food science works and as America’s Test Kitchen says, why you should care.
Recipes are tried many many times and the science is explained to all of us in human language – you don’t have to be a scientist to understand it.

This book, the Science of Good Cooking, is for the rest of us…home cooks, food enthusiasts who are not scientists. It delves deep into why certain potatoes are good for potato salad and how to fry french fries. The experiments are cool like why bones add flavor and juiciness and why salt makes meat juicy and skin crisp. I know you’ll enjoy this book with all of the experiments and all of the recipes to go with it!
There are 50 concepts and over 400 recipes, it’s a big book at over 500 pages.
