Wise is what this book makes readers!
What a great reference book! Just about everything one needs to know about the science of the food we prepare. Even though I'm a long time cook, I found it contained countless helpful bits of information. The comparison of the uses and reasons to use the many types of flour was worth the price of the book, and that is just one example. If there is a con, the recipes are a bit less useful, but I'dvbuy it again nonetheless.

Cookwise by Shirley O. Corriher (1997, Hardcover)
great book...hardcover makes it even better: I no longer buy softcover aftermarket books. The best part about this book--for me--is that it discusses, with text and hand-drawn descriptive images--no photographs--the chemical reactions, interactions and their associations within the human body of some of the different food products. With emphasis on "some", alas! there wasn't as much descriptive prose as there might have been. Food science must still be a developing, investigatory progression. I'll hafta ask my daughter: Emilie is somewhat the food test-consumer. With a plate of food to try, she gobbles it down, and weighs in with a "keeper" or "dumper"! In other words, put the recipe into the inventory, or throw it out and don't make it again. Honest Injun: you can ask her! Christopher 719.481.9476 crgreen@yahoo.comRead full review

Very worthwhile for understanding foods' properties & recipes work!
CookWise gives a scientific take on cooking. Looking up rice, for instance, I discovered that short grain rice contains less amylose, a substance that turns hard once the rice cools after cooking, than long rice does. So if you're going to make rice pudding, you don't want to use long grain rice, or the grains of rice in your rice pudding will turn hard once it's cooled, which is how I like to eat rice pudding. I don't use the book all the time, but it's full of in-depth information as well as lots of recipes that work, and it's one of the most worthwhile cookbooks that I've ever owned.

Very pleased to have this treasured volume in my ownership.
Used book, but in excellent condition. No marks, folded pages, stains, tears and cover intact with no imperfections, save for wear on finish from having been stacked. Only complaint is binding is impaired where colored pictures are, so I will treat the book with the kindness it deserves.
