Title: Standard Issue
Review: This is a great general cook book. What I love about Cook's Illustrated is the detail of not just following directions, but explaining why. Anyone can become a decent cook/baker by following directions, but the best know why so that they can expand their skills beyond accurate measuring. I'm always impressed at the effort that goes into these recipes. So many times I get a recipe and I wonder if anyone ever even made it. Cook's Illustrated goes step by step at how they came to their "master" recipe. The book is also filled in information on ingredients, equipment, and general techniques to help better make the related recipes.It seem the book is mostly a compilation of content from their magazine. If you're a subscriber (I am), you'll likely find some repeated information, but it's still hard to beat this title as a one-stop shop.Along with Joy of Cooking, this should be a standard issue for any kitchen.
