Pros
The new essentials cookbook" is a valuable addition to your ethnic cookbook library. I have a dozen cookery books from america’s test kitchen, all of which i’ve rated highly and yet this is one of my favorites. America's test kitchens tends to put out... Read More
You only need a bit of oil heated and swirled around the skillet to prevent sticking. There is a very detailed recipe for scrambling eggs – most cooks who have been on their own for a while know the basics of scrambling eggs.
Overnight waffles are excellent, as is the bucatini with breadcrumbs, peas and pancetta. Recipes are easy to follow and produce flavorful meals.
Most helpful part of the book isn't in the recipes themselves, but the think like a * notes that accompany each recipe. The book is full of very interesting recipes.

This would be a great book to give someone starting out on their own

Many of the other recipes are just a slightly newer and occasionally healthier take on things that ive already made in the past like sweet potato hash sausage with kale and beans etc

I guess im a little puzzled because the book seems to suffer from a lack of overall direction and what it is trying to be

Recipes like perfect scrambled eggs and foolproof baked brown rice and things like slow roasted beef or perfect pot roast dont seem to offer enough fresh ideas to warrant inclusion in a big cookbook with lots of pictures like this

Then there are things that are not classic basics included

I think part of the reason i dont reach for this cookbook more is that i dont have a clear idea in my head of what im in a find when i pick it up

Its not quick things that i make for dinner although some of those things are included its not something i would sit down and read to relearn all of the basics in a new and fresh way though it has some of that and its not something with new and groundbreaking ideas that will bend my brain and inspire me though it has some of that also

This amalgamation of many different kinds of recipes seems like a great idea in theory until it is on your bookshelf and you are trying to choose from 50 cookbooks to find something to make tonight at which time you realize that the format is just a little too scattered to make for easy use
