Cookbooks
Collecting many of my irritations about cookbooks (No “why”, no tolerance bounds for their recommendations), Joe Pinsker reviews some new “metacookbooks”.
- Samin Nosrat’s Salt Fat Acid Heat](http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781476753836) (Nosrat 2017) sounds like one antidote
- Sally Schneider’s Improvisational Cook (Schneider and Robledo 2006) also sounds good.
Since that article I’ve run into a few more in that vein (McGee 2004; Page 2008) and ultimately bought (López-Alt 2015) (via Jehan Kanga). One might hit the archives of website Cook’s science.
Arresting recipes
- Baked crumbed blooming onion
- Crispy based tart
- Salt-cured egg yolks. (Via Thomas Scheckter)
- no knead pan pizza
