Book Review: Ideas in Food

If a book?s worth can be measured by the number of dog-eared pages, then Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work could turn around the international financial crisis. In fact, my copy has so many turned page corners that I?m expecting a ?Cease and Desist? order to arrive at my home any day now. Well over 75 pages are marked as requiring my re-reading and note taking. And lest you think I?m a chronic book destroyer, a quick scan of my most favorite and used books show less than ten dog-eared pages in any one book.

This is one worthy book for anyone who cares about the inner workings of their food or for anyone who wants someone to do the homework for them so they can simply follow instructions and put out great dishes.
