The Perfect Recipe
A pretentious title for a cookbook if you ask me. But regardless, this is our cookbook of the month. It's by Pam Anderson, editor at Cook's Illustrated.
Speaking of Cook's... I finally called them and got myself off their mailing lists. Whew, what a relief. To my surprise, I was later asked to fill out a web survey. They wanted to know why I had removed myself from their list and if there were any changes they could make to entice me back. The last question on the survey was "would you allow us to follow up with you?" and I said heck no! You had all the opportunity to respond to me when I sent my first email, which you *never* responded to!
After some light thinking, Cook's is not on my boycott list. It's not on my preferred list either.
Anyway, The Perfect Recipe. It's another comfort food book and has some overlap with the Martha Stewart book (who is in a bit of trouble these days, isn't she?) Like the Cook's Illustrated magazine, these recipes are the result of many trials and errors, with the thought process documented for you to learn from. Cooking is a science I tell you! And you have to eat your experiments!!
Recipes that have already been tried out of this book include the Macaroni and Cheese and the Occidental Stir Fry - both really great. The stir fry in particular teaches you to cook it with a flexible ingredient list. It's perfect for using up leftovers.
