4.6 out of 5 stars

If you truly want to learn to cook, you need this 2009 James Beard Book Award winning book. Sure, you can follow a recipe, but what do you do once three ingredients are missing. Do you leave the kitchen with the heat on and make a quick dash to the market to gather your missing ingredients, or do you calmly think back at what you just read in “The Flavor Bible” and make some easy (and delicious substitutions).

This book will teach you the essentials of various ingredients and how to get the best flavor out of each one.
