    each experienced cook understands the need to prove their artworks in their work. For those of you who wrote that the prescriptions were "soft" or "interesting" is their own fault for not include this fact before you present the food for their families. Next time flavor Taste TASTE. Sure, I would not recommend this book to the novice cook (unless you were trying to learn the methodology behind what you're doing). I worked in a food magazine before and it goes without saying that the "tasting committee" sounds great, but actually may be misleading. Sometimes, only 5 people involved in the "blind tasting" just because others are busy. Remember, you are eating the food. Shape of the recipe to your taste and work slowly and taste everything as you go. If something sounds too, add half the amount, taste, and work from there. I'm still giving a review of this book low because I also agree with the observations of poor rate and excessive use of assessors in shaping the outcome of the recipe.

    This book was a gift and my friend loves it. She has already tried several recipes and think it's great. She told me. . . I read every word in this book and this is a great book. After I got my order very fast. Thank you.

    The recipes in here could be reduced by 5 of the book. I made a cookie recipe here, and is tasteless and crude. I followed the recipe exactly. If you want a book by the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine, I recommend their cookbook of the family without endless explanations. It is a 3-ring spiral-bound book that I wish I had bought instead.
