"Cooking, like so many creative endeavors, is defined by relationships. For instance, knowing exactly how much flour to put into a loaf of bread isn't nearly as useful as understanding the relationship between the flour and the water, or fat, or salt . That relationship is defined by a 'ratio,' and having a ratio in hand is like having a secret decoder ring that frees you from the tyranny of recipes. Professional cooks and bakers guard ratios passionately so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Michael Ruhlman is forced into hiding like a modern-day Prometheus, who in handing us mortals a power better suited to the gods, has changed the balance of kitchen power forever. I for one am grateful. I suspect you will be too." -- Alton Brown, author ofI'm Just Here for the Food, "Cooking, like so many creative endeavors, is defined by relationships.

The only cookbook you will ever need!
I collect cookbooks and yes, I do read them. I do not remember where I first saw this book, but when I ordered it through my library system, I was completely impressed when I read it. This book breaks down the rational behind recipes, giving you a basis upon which to start learning to cook from scratch. I will be using this book as a guide to a session at our Girl Scout Day Camp this summer, about cooking. I have now purchased 5 copies, one for myself, one for camp, and 3 for Christmas presents! I will be purchasing more for presents but need to put more money on my Paypal account! This book should be one of your top 5 cookbooks on your go to shelf.

a whole new way of looking at cooking
this is a totally new kind of cookbook- the basic premise is that if you can make one item you can transform it into others- so cream and sugar become pastry cream add eggs and more cream and you have vanilla ice cream etc etc etc - so the basic idea is to master the first simple recipe and then changing the ratio of ingredients make something else- REALLY COOL
