Bittman's How To Cook Everything , originally published in 1998, became an almost instant classic and has sold close to two million copies. This new edition has been reorganized and includes 500 new recipes and many more step-by-step illustrations. Each chapter now opens with "essential recipes" that should be in every cook's repertoire, and there are dozens of new charts and lists throughout. Vegetarian recipes are marked with a special icon, and quick recipes-Bittman also writes "The Minimalist" column for the New York Times -and those that can be made ahead are similarly denoted; prep times are also given for all recipes. Since he wrote the first edition, Bittman has published The Best Recipes in the World and How To Cook Everything Vegetarian ; in this tenth anniversary edition, there are more recipes from cuisines around the world and more vegetarian recipes than in the original. Valuable as both a reference and a cookbook, this is an essential purchase.

      HUGE book

      I’m a cookbook addict, I love buying them, reading them, using them, sharing them...but this one is so large/huge it’s hard to keep with all my others. With that said it really is a great book footage novice to the advanced cook.

    • Look up the information you need.

      This cookbook is good even if you have been cooking for 50 years. If you have a question about what you are about to cook, this is the one to get. I love just sitting down and reading it.

    • Fills in the gaps and or provides ideas you may not have known about.

      a lot of interesting ideas, some old, some new. Kind of an all around cook book for most common eating types.

    • Great book

      The book has great reviews and I haven’t read it yet - so this review is off the condition of the book. Which arrived with a ripped cover and looked used as opposed to new.
