Summary: Great reference tool!
Comment: This book is great to use as a reference tool. The author departs both, scientific insight as to "how and why" things are in the cooking world and practical recipes with which to experiment using her tips. I highly recommend this book for beginners to intermediate level cooks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Everything I was looking for
Comment: I wanted the facts about the chemistry and interaction of the ingredients, the whys and hows, and this book has it. Definitely well worth the trouble.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource for the serious cook
Comment: "Cookwise" is the science of cooking- the how and why ingredients react, and the different results of making minor adjustments with cooking methods or ingredients. I have used many of the recipes in this book, and I have been able to tweak some of my own recipes, making them so much better. I am SO GLAD I ordered this book. I would highly recommend it.

Summary: A Cook's Secret Weapon!
Comment: This book is an absolute gem! I have learned so much from "Cookwise" and am constantly referring to it for information (and inspiration). Ms. Corriher excels in explaining the science of cooking in an easy-to-understand format that does not patronize. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her subject and seems to have a sincere interest in helping her readers become better cooks. From learning the differences between flours and in which instances to use them for successful results to making a lemon meringue pie with meringue that doesn't weep, it's all in here.
I've read this book from cover to cover and seven chapters discuss bread and breadmaking techniques; how to bake successful pie crusts, cookies and cakes; the role of eggs in cooking and baking; sauces; cooking methods for fruits and vegetables; meat and seafood cookery; and last but by no means least, desserts.
If you love cooking and indeed want to become wiser, get this book! You'll be very pleased you did.
