Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*sets down glass of rose that came out of a box* Buy this book. I pre-ordered it when it first came out and, frankly, was overwhelmed by the amount of text. As Samin predicted, I wanted to sneak ahead to the recipes and ignore her warnings to read and re-read part one before moving forward. Over the course of a few months, I've picked up this book and casually read sections that piqued my interest. Now I really do feel comfortable in her recipes and I'm following her suggested cooking lessons, which begin with something as "simple" as soaking and simmering beans to achieve optimal saltiness. Believe me, you probably don't know why you do what you do in the kitchen and this book will prove that. Also believe me, you're probably not salting your food enough. Pull the trigger; enjoy.
