Book Reviews of How to Cook Everything : Quick Cooking
Book Review: The workhorse of my kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
I have advanced taste but very basic cooking skills, and I use this book more than any other on my shelf -- the recipes are SO EASY, so elemental, and so delicious. Bittman understands that great ingredients, particularly fish and seafood, don't need a lot of dressing up to be thrilling. The fish preparations are so good that they eventually led me to Bittman's big book on fish; I also enjoy the steak au poivre and the lamb with red wine and shallots. "Broiled Shrimp, My Way" is a major winner that tastes a lot like the Spanish tapas dish "gambas al ajillo."
I disagree with the reader who's angry about the breakdown of the larger book into smaller bundles. I rarely bother with complex recipes, so this small, easy-to-handle book is just the ticket. If the publisher makes a few extra bucks, so much the better; maybe their underpaid staff will get a bonus at Christmas.
