Our newest book distills the past 20 years of test kitchen work into 50 basic cooking concepts, ones that every home cook should know. The Science of Good Cooking brings you into the test kitchen with unique and fun experiments engineered to illustrate the science at work. You'll see exactly why adding fat to your eggs will make the perfect tender omelet, why grinding your own meat will make the ultimate burger, and why you should have patience before carving your roast. And because no concept is complete without recipes, The Science of Good Cooking includes more than 400 classic Cook's Illustrated recipes that take the science to the stove. When these recipes are coupled with the simple science explaining how and why they work, the results are illuminating.
