    May I suggest Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything, Kenji Lopez Alt’s Food Lab, and Fuschia Dunlop’s Every Grain of Rice. Everything is a good primer for, well, everything. Food Lab really digs into the science of deliciousness. And finally, Dunlop’s Rice is simply great Chinese for the home cook.

    Being older, I have to pay tribute to:
    Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Child, Bertholle and Beck. Perhaps not up to today’s standards, but a monumental work that helped transform cooking for a lot of Americans in the 60’s and 70’s
    The Fannie Farmer Cookbook
    A classic that has helped many a new cook prepare good meals for their families.
    I still pull these books from my shelf when I need them, and they always do the job.

      Another vote for Mastering. In a similar vein, but different era: I know many people would throw The Silver Palate Cookbook into the ring.
      But those (TSPC in particular) aren't really for beginner cooks.
      And the Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks (the old ones, not the new ones) also helped many a new cook feed their families.

    • @trackie1957
      @trackie1957 Před rokem

      @@SJisReading not to mention The Good Housekeeping Cookbook. But I still stand by the ones I mentioned because I grew up in a family with 8 kids and both my parents were great cooks, but neither grew up cooking before they got married. I remember how enthusiastic my dad was when Julia Child first came on television. Really enriched my life.

    “Ratio” by Michael Ruhlman was a godsend for me when I started really getting into cooking.

    • @trackie1957
      @trackie1957 Před 2 lety +1

      Anything, not just cookbooks, by Michael Ruhlman is worth reading.

    Great video and explanations! I grew up on the Joy of Cooking. It was my first exposure to organized cooking. (Wussup pancakes, page 341.) The latest revision of Joy of Cooking is really good too. They now have more modern approaches to many of their classics.

    That second one looks very interesting. I think your tastes run a little different than mine. I've decided to go back to basics and relearn how to do Basic techniques well.. I got off on Pinterest and it's spoiled my skills.
    Currently I have pulled out my 1975 joy of cooking and I'm reading it like a textbook. Particularly about traditional food combining, how to get maximum nutrition out of food the appropriate way. Everybody went on diets. My son went on keto. My husband has what he likes, and I lost my sense of combining food appropriately.
    Maybe you can offer a little help. I have a favorite recipe that I haven't been able to make work lately. It's a triple crust blueberry pie. There's a Crust in the center that when it bakes, the juices from the pie causes it to turn into a sort of pie crust dumpling. Not really thick, but it's just sublime and used to work really well with a purchased crust.. I can't get it to work anymore.

    My favourite is Cooking for Geeks by Jeff Potter. Packed full of information, with experiments you can do to help understanding, as well as food safety info.

    I just pre-ordered the French Cooking Academy Cookbook on Amazon. It comes out in November. There are episodes on CZcams of stuff that may or may not be in the cookbook. The chef, Stephane, is a wonderful teacher, and some of the recipes I have tried have been great. I am looking forward to seeing the cookbook. It is his first.
