New Food Books
As part of my 2010 adventure into improving my cooking skills… I have acquired (through presents) 4 new books:
- Knife Skills Illustrated - a recommendation from some local foodies in the area, because I have good knives but I still slice myself every time I use them!
- Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking - a hot new recommendation from the Twitter land… teaches you how to cook using ratios for simple recipes and bases… it’s all about scaling (for my developer nerds)!
- The Foodie Handbook: The (Almost) Definitive Guide to Gastronomy - a mix of eating, cooking, and shopping for foodies.
- Classic Indian Cooking - a well reviewed book that mixes recipes with technique and explanation…
With this wonderful set, I’m going to attempt to hone my skills… and start diving into a realm which I love to eat, but have no concept of how to cook… Indian…
Wish me luck!
