About this product

Product Information

The Cook's Bible takes the mystery out of preparing a great meal. What's the ideal ratio of oil to vinegar in a vinaigrette? Kimball gives you the answer: 4 1/2 to 1. What's the secret to perfect roast chicken? A 375(degree) oven and a 170(degree) internal temperature for the thigh. How about the toughest kitchen challenge of all, piecrust? Kimball makes it easy with the right ingredients (including Crisco and butter) and illustrated step-by-step instructions. For these and the rest of America's best-loved dishes - vegetable soup, poached salmon, roast beef, barbecued ribs, homemade pizza, waffles, chocolate chip cookies, and many others - Kimball has tested and retested to deliver the definitive recipes. In addition to these master recipes, Kimball also serves up a generous helping of appealing variations - nearly 450 recipes in all. Throughout, Kimball elucidates kitchen procedures - butterflying a chicken, for instance, or dicing an onion - with more than 250 beautifully rendered step-by-step illustrations. And he also provides lucid guidance on what kitchen equipment you need and what you can live without - a microwave oven is optional, but good knives are essential - including brand names, model numbers, and prices. From recipes to techniques to equipment, here is a one-volume master class in American home cookery, a cooking school in print for beginners and experienced cooks alike.

  • Very well researched recipes.

    Bought as a gift because I have a copy that I use. NOTE that the eBay photo is not the edition I received. It turns out to be the original that I have in my library and was when Kimball was with Cook’s Illustrated magazine.

  • Good basic recipes with good advise on becoming a knowledgable cook

    I would call this a "geek-cook" cookbook. It has not only good basic recipes but the author, Chris Kimball of Cooks Illustrated fame, explains why and how the recipe was developed. He also writes about the equipment necessary for a well equipped kitchen giving brand names, prices and his choice - suprisingly often not the most expensive. It's a perfect book for a someone new to the cooking experience but also has information for well-experienced cooks.

  • The Cook's Bible by Christopher Kimball

    I had checked this book out from my local library & learned so much from it I immediately looked on Ebay as it is a very expensive book. It is a great reference for the beginner & for a much more experienced cook like myself. It also has some great recipes that are do-able. I have been cooking for many years & this book is definitely useful in my kitchen.

  • The Cook's Bible - Basic recipes, easy to understand.

    I would have liked more photos.
