Bittman's How To Cook Everything , originally published in 1998, became an almost instant classic and has sold close to two million copies. This new edition has been reorganized and includes 500 new recipes and many more step-by-step illustrations. Each chapter now opens with "essential recipes" that should be in every cook's repertoire, and there are dozens of new charts and lists throughout. Vegetarian recipes are marked with a special icon, and quick recipes-Bittman also writes "The Minimalist" column for the New York Times -and those that can be made ahead are similarly denoted; prep times are also given for all recipes. Since he wrote the first edition, Bittman has published The Best Recipes in the World and How To Cook Everything Vegetarian; in this tenth anniversary edition, there are more recipes from cuisines around the world and more vegetarian recipes than in the original. Valuable as both a reference and a cookbook, this is an essential purchase. ( Library Journal , September 15, 2008) "...the best-value all-in-one volume available...even with more of everything to cook, this massive tome is navigable. Whether the first edition is on their shelves or not, home cooks of all skill levels will want to get this one." ( Publishers Weekly , September 1, 2008)
Reseña del editor:
The bible for today's home cooks--now completely revised and updated Hailed as "a more hip Joy of Cooking" (the Washington Post) and "a tour de force" (Jacques Pepin) when it was first published a decade ago, How to Cook Everything won both James Beard and IACP Awards--and quickly established itself as an indispensable kitchen companion for a new generation of home cooks, with sales to date of 2 million copies. The reasons for its success are simple: Bittman's recipes are accessible and refreshingly straightforward (he's a home cook, not a chef), his dishes are contemporary and unfailingly delicious, and his kitchen advice is unfussy but always authoritative. Now, on the tenth anniversary of its original publication, Bittman has totally revitalized this cookbook classic to make it even more appealing and useful for today's cooks, updating recipes and information, adding new dishes, expanding chapters, and incorporating lots of new features. Bittman now opens each chapter with an "Essential Recipes" section, highlighting core dishes for every cook's repertoire. He has expanded chapters on vegetables and fruits, grains, beans, and desserts. He has added new charts to help people customize recipes with a variety of flavors and ingredients. He has incorporated new illustrations, bringing the total to nearly 400. And he has inserted new symbols for fast, make-ahead, and vegetarian recipes. With all this great new content plus an eye-catching package, How to Cook Everything is now more indispensable than ever--and a surefire bestseller. Mark Bittman (New York, NY) is one of the country's best-known, most widely respected food writers. His "Minimalist" column in the New York Times is read and beloved by millions each week, and has been for more than ten years. His other books include How to Cook Everything Vegetarian (978-0-7645-2483-7) and The Best Recipes in the World (978-0-7679-0672-2).
